So I had a very eventful Friday last week. I ended up rescuing three abandoned kittens that some jerk face decided to leave by the dumpster while I was taking Dodger out to do his morning business. I didn't think people could get any worse. The kittens were in bad shape. One has already been re-homed and I have been rehabilitating the most emaciated of the group. Kisa had a split nostril and after tending to it, the split has finally been healing. Of course, my husband wasn't too happy…

Well, we've about finished the first full week of the second ten-day round of antibiotics for Ruby the Corgi Pup's UTI. Whether she's "cured" (or about to be) remains to be seen; I'm supposed to take another urine sample in to Dr. Bracken next Friday.

She's peeing on the floor much less frequently. And the gross odor is almost gone. Not so much syrupy urine is getting stuck on the fur between her cute little hind legs, and so she doesn't stink all the time, nor does…

Here's the news most of you have been waiting patiently to hear.

Ein is now breathing through his nose and for the most part acting himself, in other words, like all the other Corgwn in the world, but with attitude galore.

Ein had his oncologist appointment on Tuesday of this week and we keep feeling like we've been punched in the gut.

The doctor discussed with us what she saw in all the reports and ran over our options.

1.) We could do radiation therapy. It would…

-heard this on NPR yesterday.  Read/listen all the way to the end.

Okay! This afternoon it was off to Dr. Bracken, the wonderful vet who used to care for Walt the Greyhound and Anna the GerShep, whom I abandoned only because his practice is a long drive from home.

He examined Ruby the Ailing Corgi Pup and pronounced her fundamentally very strong and healthy. Said she's on target for her weight, her fur and eyes and ears and all that are excellent. He examined the urine I extracted from her about an hour before he arrived and reported that…

Banner day for Ashton and John at the Cascade Pembroke Welsh Corgi Specialty Match. Team Ashton competed in Novice Obedience and took First place with a score of 188! To top it off Ashton also received High Scoring Dog in Match! Yeah Team Ashton!!

Maple is a good sleeper lol... it was so funny last night because she must have been in her REM sleep and having an exciting dream! She was growling, barking and kicking in her sleep! She'd wimper, and then back to growling lol...it was so cute and funny :) I have never seen her in such an active sleeping state but it definitely was adorable. 

Is this normal?

Tell me about your experiences with this! I'd love to hear them. Thanks for posting!

Tucker broke a front claw.  It isn't bleeding but I can see the red interior.  It isn't broken completely off.  should I clip off the part that is still there?  Take him to the vet?  

I've never had this happen.

Hello there, I'm pretty new to the world of corgi (even tho I've always thought they were beautiful) but I never thought I'd be able to house one....

My boyfriend and I are getting our 1st place together (most likely a 1 bedroom flat with street access) and he said once we are all settled in and panic over we can get a corgi (probably not for another year but YAY ^_^) so I've been reading as much information as I can so I know I can give our little corgi the happiest life…

About a 3 or so months ago, we started noticing a decline in Bella's sweetness and maturity around other dogs - and even some people.

Both off leash and on leash she has become very disturbed by any dog's presence and growls and barks in a threatening manor. We are new to this kind of behavior. She's never been this way before, and was always very social and even a bit submissive at times toward others. But now she stands assertive and bold, almost as a challenge to…

So...who ate the ant bait? That's the question.

Every now and again, The Ondt Queen lays siege to the Funny Farm. She sends her Myrmidons into the breach, swarms the kitchen floor, and attacks her favorite target, the dishwasher. The only way to beat back these hordes is with ant bait. To protect the dogs, I cover the baits with old electric-fan cages. You can take a cheap fan apart, providing two conveniently basket-sized cages that are perfect for keeping critters out of…

Hi To all our Corgi Friends out there!.

Our Dad 's have been busy getting their new house in the country in order!. Painting, Gardens being overhauled Endless hours of stripping Laura Ashley Floral wall paper off walls new carpet. plantation shutters and having fun scouring the local antique stores for furniture and other items  E  bay has become their new best friend but thru it all they still look after us and now it is getting cooler it is nights in front of the open fire…

We got the results back late last night and they were not what we wanted to hear. The mass they removed was cancerous, soft tissue sarcoma. It is an aggressive cancer and will grow back since they were not able to get all of it.



We have a call in to see the oncologist next week to see what our next step is. One thing that…

Ruby the Corgi Pup still has a puppy voice, but she believes herself to be fierce. Very fierce. So this morning when the religious pests showed up at the door, it was not WOOF WOOF WOOF! or ARF ARF ARF! or even the stately WARF! emitted by the Queen of the Universe or (thank heavens) Her Elevated Majesty's most enraged AAAARGHFFFF ROAR SNORT GARRRRGGGGGGHHHFFFFF!!!!!!, but RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH! RAH!

Like an especially shrill…

Ein is now home. His breathing is better, but still a little noisy. They said that should abate in a few days once swelling goes down. But he could not wait to get on to the freshly mowed lawn to do his business and then run into the house.

Thanks for the support!…

Good morning, everyone, and happy Thursday! 

The weekend is almost upon us and, for my family, it's a special weekend.  Ellie's 3rd birthday is on Saturday!  We don't have anything particularly special planned, but I hope to continue my tradition of making a special treat for her and Yuki to enjoy.  She certainly has no idea why she receives these treats, of course, but that doesn't stop her from bolting them down as fast as she can every year!

Whilst perusing…

I'm not sure if we are supposed to self promote on here and I don't want to get in trouble but I recently wrote a children's book available on amazon.com by looking up jamie bach in the search and it is staring my very own corgi Koby Jack. I am so excited I just wanted to share that. MY daughter Teagan who is three years old wants me to read it over and over because her dog and cat are the stars of the book. Its so cute. Just wanted to share…
