My corgi and I went to the beach yesterday. I guess he ingested a lot more sand then I realized! So he started throwing up last night. I decided to not feed him and just give him water to hydrate. The next morning it was a mess full of throw up and poo (basically brown liquid and sand).

I might just see how he is for one more day and call the vet tomorrow. But I'm worried if it is more serious? Has this happened to anyone before?

I was planning to just hydrate him and not give…

Just came home from the World Dog Show in Paris. What an amazing experience! The last time I went to a dog show, it was in an exposition hall back in Hawaii, in the 90s. Needless to say, this show was bigger by several orders of magnitude.

It was inspiring to see not just beautiful animals, but the people who loved and cherished them so very much. You could just feel the hopeful and happy energy buzzing throughout the place. And what a huge place it was. By the end, my legs…

So I picked up a new book today called "How Dogs Think" by Stanley Coren.





I will admit that I was lured by the fact that it has a corgi on the cover. However, I had somewhat recently finished reading a book called "The Wolf in the…

Today was finally the big day!  Despite a changed flight and a delayed arrival, our little Ellie is finally here!  I was so worried that she would be stressed and exhausted after her trip here, but she has been just perfect!  She didn't bark or whine on the way home, just sat in my lap and enjoyed the scenery.  After getting home she had all sorts of fun exploring our kitchen and climbing all over us.

Corgi prison break.

Well here we are after not knowing if we would be able to take this trip this year, we have decided to go.  It has been 2 years since we have been to the Upper Peninsula to visit my in laws.  In the past, we have always had  Lance in between the seats, behind the drivers and passengers seat, with each daughter on one side…

L>R:  Summit Chief, Chimney Rock, Overcoat Peak.  These are the highest peaks in the Snoqualmie Pass area of Washington's central Cascades.  We're on a little peak called Otter Point, 6360':…

Hi everyone.

I received a call today from a family looking to re-home their 3 year old corgi.  His name is Max and he is a sable, neutered male.  He is UTD on shots, heart worm preventative and flea control.  According to the current owners, he is quite an active little guy who needs more time and activity than this family can give.  If you are interested, email me at cindi_g@comcast.net and I will share the contact information with you.

So we were out for our walk the other day and a little girl (3 or 4 years old) sees Lilly and says "look at the puppy"  then sees Brody and "oh, 2 puppies"  So of course we stopped and I told mom if she wanted it would be ok to pet them.  They were both very good, no jumping, no sneaking in kisses and as we walked away the little girl exclaims "Oh I just love those wiggly butts"

It's breaking my heart, but the sibling rivalry between our year-and-a-half old Pembroke Corgi and six-year-old Australian Shepherd mutt have gotten to the insurmountable stage. We've gone through lots of training, behavior modification -- both the dog's and ours -- and other steps to try to resolve the issues, but instead of getting better they are getting worse.

Meanwhile Lucy is well trained, loveable, smart, and great dog. We just can't have the two dogs in the same room…

Bento has been with us for 1 week, and he's without a doubt, an awesome corgi.

So far, he loves peanut butter.  Nothing gets his furry butt wagging more than a puppy kong with peanut butter. 

He's also very fond of Bil-Jac and Train Me treats.  We cut them in half and use them as rewards for his training. Unfortunately, too many of these treats make his poop gooey.  Must be the higher fat content.  Which is why we switched over to Natural Balance Duck and…

We took Merlin swimming for the first time yesterday. Everything seemed to have gone well. This morning, we noticed that his bed was saturated. Didn't smell like urine, didn't know what it was. Brought him to the living room to hang out with us as we usually do and noticed that he's been drooling excessively. Any ideas? Could he have swallowed too much chlorinated water at the pool yesterday? There are no other symptoms (no vomit, lack of appetite, diarrhea). It's as if he's not wanting to…

A few years ago I had some insane back issues and one of the things my doctor recommended was a zero gravity chair.  I shopped around and found "The Perfect Chair" - I cringed at the price $1200 for a CHAIR?!?!?!  That's insane!!!

But of course, one more bad night and I ended up back at the "Healthy Back Store" buying the damn thing.

Goldy has since decided that the perfect chair is the perfect place to relax…

Our trainer is having agility "drop-in" classes every Wednesday. Each week, she sets up a course and people bring their dogs and it's almost like a trial-like atmosphere. Yesterday was our first class. The Novice course she set up was 16 obstacles (weaves, 2 tunnels, a-frame, dogwalk, and 11 jumps.) After walking the course and watching a few of the more experienced handlers run it, Baxter and I were up for the challenge. On our first run Baxter only had one refusal. I was so impressed at…

Thanks for all of the gushing over the puppies.  Regardless of all of my grumblings I know that we have been blessed.
