Hi everybody,

I'll confess that I have a old lady habit of cross-stitching...He-He...I don't know why or how exactly I picked this up but have never been able to find a pattern for a corgi. If you know of one I'd really like to get it...These are some examples of what I've done. I did 2 baby one's because of my sister's new arrival soon and didn't read the directions quite right on the first one so had to re-order and start again ooops...…

Hmmmm… how do I start this. I guess with a short story about a comment that was made to us when we were at the beach with Soffie and Griffyn last week. A man on the beach with his dog inquired to us as to what breed of dogs we had. When we told him Pembroke Welsh Corgis he replied… Really?? Aren’t they usually FAT?!!!

Sad but true I’m afraid…. So I am going to post a…

Had the Gunster at the vet this morning. Doc thinks he has ragweed allergy. Says that he has seen tons of dogs in the last 3 weeks with same thing. Red , itchy skin. He put him on Tamaril for a week to settle things down from the inside out. Anyone else have this problem? I tried taking care of it without meds for a week or so.

This time, I saw that he had an off-leash dog with him who was quite a ways away from the cyclist on the side…

We just got back from the vet, and it's not good. I posted a discussion about how last night, in mid-stride, Sidney suddenly yelped in pain and would not bear weight on his hind left leg. Our vet took xrays and he has very severe hip dysplasia. His femur on the left side is completely out of what little hip socket he has.



Right now he's on Rimadyl for pain, and he's to be getting glucosamine to help build cartilage. He's acting normal and happy, but won't put weight on the bad hip.…

Sidney and I are members of the San Diego Corgi Meetup group, which has huge meetups once a month at different locations around our county. The August meetup was at Balboa Park, in downtown San Diego. It's a huge, beautiful historic park full of museums, gardens, bridges, ponds and even the "World Famous San Diego Zoo".

This was our first visit to the Balboa Park dog park. I let Sidney off leash once we were inside the gate, and I wanted to see how far the park went (I could not see…
