New puppy

Hi guys!

 

We are getting our first corgster in about 4 weeks! Any tips on welcoming him home for the first time to make him feel safe and comfortable?  He's being shipped by plane and it's a 5.5hr flight.

We've both had dogs in the past but it's been a while since having a young puppy.  I grew up around a lot of dogs and always read training tips, but would like to hear your stories from personal experiences!



Thank you for any help and advice you…

Engaged.. Corgi Style!

We've had a pretty big last few months (my sister passed away October 27th and his grandma passed away December 11th) so with the services and holidays and visits and family get-togethers, we didn't really get to decorate the house like we wanted to. We put up a tree and played Elf on the Shelf a bit, but that was the extent of it. Any who, it's Christmas Eve morning and my boyfriend says he has a surprise for me. We go outside and he says, "I know we didn't get a chance to decorate this…

Progress

Thank you everyone for the help with potty training. I know that my puppy doesn't know to do it on his own, haha. He just refused to do it period. He's gotten so much better, though. Not one single spot on my carpet in the last two days. He's having no trouble going outside and I'm praising him when he does. Thank you so much for all the help! He's having a little trouble wanting to do his other business outside, but we'll get there too! :) I know watching our other corgi use the potty for…

Outside Time

I know if it were up to Benny he would be outside all day. It is very cold outside #1 I don't want him to get sick or too cold and #2 I want to make sure he is getting adequate play time outside. What would you say is a good amount of playtime outside for a 6 month old daily?

Car safety!

First of all my dogs are crated when they travel with me 99.9% of the time. Well, today I took Sage along because she was sitting at the door waiting to go to work with me...poor decision as I have 2 kennels borrowed out and a 3rd stored in my garage that wasn't ready to go...yes I still took Sage and I had her leash belted into the back seat. About 10 minutes into our trip 4…

Potty training...help?

This is proving to be a lot tougher than I thought. He was doing awesome with his pads, and then started going near the door. I figured this meant he was ready for outside- I take him out there a lot. He has only peed outside once, and hasn't gone again since. He'd much rather play with the grass. Now he's back to not even using his pads much. I can't keep him outside until he goes due to the fact that it's 20 degrees out and he's only just 9 weeks. Help!?

Feeding Jagger

We have a Corgi with a fantastic appetite.  I know that's not news to Corgi owners, but when we're at the park discussing dog issues, seems to be surprise to other pup parents.  

I feed 4oz (1/2 cup; or about 1/3 regular sized can) of wet food and 1/2 cup scoop of dry food each day.  Wet food in the morning and dry food in the evening has cut down on his bad breath!  He does get a fair amount of treats each day (bully sticks, Greenies, other training treats)

I rotate his dry…

Running with your corgi

So, I have taken to jogging, and I actually can do 3 miles, so yay for me.  I have also been taking Team Corgi with me, Lilly and Ein.  I take them about 3 times a week, but want to take them more.  I don't push when we go, and we stop to potty about 4 or 5 times.  I would like to take them every time I go, but I don't want to push them.  Anyone else run with their Corgi?

Crying

So I play with Benny daily and feed him pet him etc. he cries all of the time non stop it's been going on now for about a week he is healthy and everything. He just cries and cries and cries over nothing! I don't know what to do it's driving me crazy. I understand he is a puppy but he cries more now then he ever did. He will be 6 months next week. He will stop his crying if I sit on the floor with him but if I get up or sit on the sofa cook anything he cries. Any thoughts? Advice? I've even… Continue

Wally's back up and running.

Wally has been sick after the holidays after eating a ham bone (knee part).    This was the first time and we though he would enjoy the gift from grandma but turns out it didn't agree with him.    He had it cooked and frozen but after eating the knee part he threw up about 8 hours later which was followed by heavy diarhea for the following night, and less in the following 2 days +.

Boiled ground beef and rice for those 2 days and he's been doing well.   Having some frozen green beans…

Furminator

I bought the furminator for medium dogs long hair. I was not impressed I don't know if maybe I bought the wrong size? But what exactlly does the furminator do pull out loose hairs? Or trim hairs to be even and pull lose hairs? I heard so many good things so I spent the money on it, but it isn't cheap for the rests I'm receiving. Any thoughts? Experiences? Suggestions?

How Plump Is a Plump Corgi, Anyhow?

Lately, I've been thinking the Queen of the Universe is looking a little on the sylph-like side...as in...maybe too thin?

She weighed 25 pounds when I got her from the pound. At that time, the vet opined that because she (the vet) thought she (the queen) was a little small for a corgi, she might be a little heavy for her size.

Her Royal Highness eats real food (not processed dog food, for reasons that I will refrain from elaborating because I don't feel like writing…

Wood chips and cigar tips

Ugh. I swear this dog eats everything under the sun and actually LIKES it. We have a dachshund who always keeps nose to the ground looking for food morsels but won't touch it if it's not some kind of man made processed food, so we're used to looking out for dropped bits of donuts and chicken and things... but I swear Blaidd would pass up even the tastiest piece of chicken for mulch and rocks. I was so happy. It'd been weeks since we'd been woken up between 3 and 5 am to a puking dog. And…

The Queen and Her Retinue

The human spent the holidays sick as a dog, trying to keep up with work on a laptop perched on the bed, day after endless day. The Queen of the Universe, as ever attentive to the underlings, reclined in her chamber, keeping an eye on the creature.

Her Exalted Highness in the Royal Bedchamber

More recently, the Queen's relative…
