I just received an email from an orthopedic surgeon friend who had chronic back and leg pain. He wrote that he started taking 2 turmeric capsules and "cannot believe how much this has taken away my leg pain. This is best I have felt in over a decade and it has taken my limp away. I am usually a huge skeptic of these kind of treatment. It has only been a week and I know it may be placebo, but this has been very dramatic. So far, I have not had any side effects...Look it up in Wikipedia before…

I guess I am just a pet owner is pissed off. I am the proud owner of a Corgi, and a pitbull. Yes i said it A PITBULL. Lately I have become very much interested in rescuing dogs. I go to these websites especially for Corgi rescues and see all these dogs that are given up. Many of the reasons these dogs are given up is because of stupid reasons. One website Someone was a corgi was going to die because their owner's neighbor did not appreciate the barking. Seriously? What is wrong with people?…

This is an article in the Argus Leader, the local newspaper in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  I don't know if her owners have a page here, so if I put this up before they get to it - I am sorry for stealing your thunder, I just wanted to share what an awesome girl you have!

I'm sure most of you remember myspace and the "Top 8" that we could have there. Well because I missed out on blogging for Emmy's first few weeks at home, I thought I'd go backwards a bit to update on her top 8 best friends. I don't have pictures of all of them, but I do have a few so here goes. 

1. Cammy - Emmy's number one best friend. Cammy is an Australian Shepherd that lives across the street from Emmy. They often go out to potty at the same time, which means that Emmy…

Hooray, my baby boy turned 4 this week! It's hard to believe he's been in our lives so long; I guess time flies when you're having fun!

I decided to bake him a banana-ginger doggie cake. I didn't…

brought moka home from the vet today. She was fixed yesturday. She is 16 weeks old and weighs 6.6 pounds.  I guess that is a normal size for a female puppy at this age not sure.

A funny little comic about my little Henry's 2nd birthday! Enjoy!

My friend convinced me that I needed to blog about Emmy's everyday adventures after seeing pictures of my adorable puppy doing silly things. Since this website provides for that, I thought this would be the best place for that! So I guess I'm starting a little late. Emmy is 12 and a half weeks old and is my bundle of joy. She even lets me hold her in my arms like a baby. This little thing is already almost 7 pounds! She was only 3 pounds when I got her and I can't believe how big she is now.…

I just thought that would be a funny title to use for this blog.  I always thought it was humorous when people would refer to getting a dog neutered or spayed as getting him/her "fixed".  I have 2 nephews, one is 8 and the other is 4.  Zachary (the 8-year old) understood what was happening so we used the appropriate terminology.  However, we told Ryan (the 4-year-old) that Bailey was getting fixed.  He replied....."how did Bailey get broken?"  Gotta love kids.

Needless to…

I have read the posts on here about which vacuum to use in homes with corgis.  My question is what is the difference between a vacuum and a vacuum with the word PET in front of it?



We have a 3-4 year old Dyson vacuum.  Since we have adopted LeeLoo, it has slowly started to die.  I cleaned it last night and gobs and gobs of hair and dirt were jammed in the hose up to the canister.  Do PET vacuums not have this problem? 

We need a new vacuum fast!  I have researched…

 Today we inducted a new corgi into the family, Meet Suzie, Who we got from our breeder. We loved Cooper so much we knew we needed another Corgi      She is very calm and still exploring the house, with Cooper just following her everywhere. We Hope she soon adapts and gets along with Cooper very well!…

It's been two weeks since Bento joined our home, and Bento has learned many things.

1. He will pee/poop on the puppy pads; as long as the puppy pads are near him when he has to go.
2. He has learned that close is close enough, and it's good enough for him.  See above.
3. He chews on the puppy pads to get mommy's attention.  (Mommy is working on not paying attention to him when he chews on pad and to bitter apple the pads like crazy.)
4. He loves peanut…

He is such a sleepy puppy, but this makes crate training a breeze. He whined once for 20ish minutes, I put it headphones and read a book, and he passed out. Other than that he has had once accident (he found a piece of paper, since he was used to newspaper, easy cleanup lol) and is such a doll. I am thrilled to have him with me, and I LOVE finally having a male of my own (the last male in my family I was only 6 or 7). 

After 5 years of waiting my…

So yesterday we ventured to the ancient lakes/dusty lake trail. Its a 3 mile into dusty lake which is where we went so we could fish. Its mostly desert-like until you drop over a hill and the lake is right before you. You wouldn't expect it to be in the middle of what seems like a waste land. The pups had a blast. The way there wasn't as fun as the way back. It was hot and dry, but they kept on truckin. It was worth it when we made it to the lake. They both just…

Ellie has settled in quite well here and has started opening up more.  She chases Yuki, chews the rug, tries to drag off the children's stuffed animals and lavishes us with her puppy-breath-scented kisses.  I'm working on teaching her what she can and cannot chew (lots of "no", redirecting to puppy toys and the occasional yelping noise are working great) and I am also working on teaching her how to sit and to come when called.  I also make sure to give Yuki lots of attention so that he…
