Helllo all,

I just received an email from a breeder whose waiting list I am on, Susan Jacob, with pictures of Mary and her nine (!) puppies that were born yesterday via c-section, and I wanted to share. One of these little babies may be mine in a few months. :D…

Well it's that time of the month again Sam jumps in the spa bath all sudsed  up his favourite doggie shampoo he looks at me as if to say Dad turn on the spa jets lets liven things up here!. I don't think so!. Next minute I hear the Boys other dad on the stairs Paul has been on the night shift @ the hospital. Sam hears his Dad jumps out of the bath dripping wet shampoo suds everywhere and proceeds to jump all over Paul! what a sight. Oscar is looking at me the regal Dog that he is with a look…

Good morning All,

Oscar and Sam also get 1000 mgs of fish oil capsule everyday. We limit how much Oscar runs around in the park with Sam but he loves it! Sam is only 5…

After all of the months of research and waiting and planning and preparation...Fiona finally came home on February 1st.  And oh, what a month it's been!

I have a…

Here in Australia the RSPCA is trying to stamp out these factories that are pumping out puppies at an alarming rate!. The pet shop chains here in Australia are selling them at an alarming rate!. I look at these puppies in these glass cages and people pay a fortune for them with no history on the puppy!. I know the Government is trying to stamp out these puppy factories! how well it is working I do not know?. My vet told me that most of her clients who bring in these pups they always have…

I was out last week walking Oscar & Sam in our local Heritage Park near our home I can let them off to go exploring and look for rabbits that they never seem to catch but just mention the R word and their off!. I watch all the other dogs in the park and more & more you are seeing the designer dog around!. With the Oddle at the end of it's name! Everybody knows a Corgi and are all excited when Oscar is in the park they always come upto him and Sam and make a fuss!. Call me old…

It's tough to accept as she is not quite 2 years old, but Lucy is having difficulty with her hind legs, weakness that makes it nearly impossible to go up a step or even walk. Had to take her to the vet who x-rayed her, though it did not show much. Given her symptoms and how she is walking, he believes it is some kind of disk problem--it just couldn't show up on the x-ray. She is on restricted rest and some meds. I am supposed to watch for "knuckling" that will indicate a decline and then I…

Isn't it exciting when the day comes for your Child(puppy) to come home!. Yes we do go nuts and buy everything in the petstore!. I remember when Oscar came home as a 3 month old puppy I took a months Parental leave everybody @ work laughed but it was the best time bonding with Oscar!. As a parent of a 4 legged child it is just as important to be there for them as it is for a 2 legged Child!. I believe that those first few months sets them up for life!. sleepless nights puppy porrige! the…

Help can someone correct me here I gave Oscar a corn cob when he was a young dog I mentioned this to my vet she read me the riot act!!! It was a NO!! NO!!! I was informed that it could get lodged in the throat and cause other problems if not chewed and digested properly?? I give Oscar raw carrot and apple roughly chopped I was told the carrot was good for their teeth and eyes!.

What are your thoughts on this!.

Many of you may already know this, but Edward, a very sweet 2 year old corgi went in for surgery to remove a polyp in her bladder, and had her bladder rupture. This required emergency surgery to repair her bladder, and she will still need to under go more surgery, as well as vet care for another week or so. As you can imagine, this is not cheap! Poor Ed's Momma is a student, and need all the help she can get to pay for Ed's care. The latest news on Ed is that she made it through the night,…

I took Sidney and Connie to a doggie Valentine's Day party, and we visited the photo booth :)

That totally focused look on Connie's face? The photographer had a squeeker, haha. Connie is NUTS for a squeeker!

My Corgi Lola tends to act like a chow hound by making sure to eat all of her food in one sitting and even lick all of the crumbs out of the bowl.  However, this past week she has been barely touching her food, won't eat it all in one sitting, and spills her water all over the place.  Normally we can't do anything to get her away from her dish until everything is gone but now we can't seem to do anything to get her to go to her dish in the first place...  Since we live over an hour from the…

So last night at about 1am my husband and I took our rabbit, Gregory to the animal hospital because we were worried about him given that he hadn't eaten any of his hay or veggies. We even gave him a strawberry (his favorite) and he refused it. He had been this way for several hours and his temperature was off as well. Having lost our other Corgi last December we are still a bit gun shy when it comes to our pets health. So, if for no other reason than to calm our nerves we went to the…

Hi All

My next question we all vacation right! we even take our dogs on vacation with us right!. Why is there not a cruise company out there that is dog friendly well within reason!. My partner Paul and I love cruises!. We have to get someone in to dog sit for us while we are away God forbid I would never put my guys in a kennel. I saw the look on the guys faces as we were leaving for the ship I almost didn't go!.

It cant be that hard as you would need a Balcony suite…

I dropped Ellie off at the vet this morning to get spayed.  I'm not sure which one of us is the bigger wreck.  Ellie hates new people/places.  I hate putting her through something painful and scary.  I tried not to show it because the Alpha dog is supposed to be strong, but I might have failed there.  The vet tech could definitely tell I didn't want to leave her.

I know it's healthier for Ellie.  I know this is routine.  I know dogs bounce back quickly.  But I'm worried for my girl,…
