Just a goofy dog story!

Hi everyone I just wanted to share this funny story...

My dogs sleep in the bed with us (all you naysayers just hush we like it! to each his own ok?)

anyways, the Beagle (Galoot) likes it under the covers, the Corgi (Pengu) likes it above. Galoot freaks out if anyone climbs on her while she is sleeping under the covers.

Before Pengu came if a kitty climbed on her she would start barking wildly out of a deep sleep and scare the crap out of the kitties. (yes we let the cats sleep… Continue

How To Ditch the Crate

Oppy is going to be 9 months old on Saturday and I was thinking it may be time to start working on not using his crate while we're at work (he'd be alone for approximately 6.5-7 hours). We've tested leaving him alone while we go to the grocery store which usually lasts about an hour or so and he's been doing really well as long as we puppy proof everything (make sure there's nothing on our desks that he can reach/steal/shred). But 6.5 hours is a lot longer than what we've currently tested him… Continue

Saying Goodbye to a Friend

Hi everyone,

Today is a sad day in our house. Our 14 1/2 year old, Cody, is being sent to the Rainbow Bridge. As you may know, we rescued him from a woman who was going to dump him. He was almost 13, shaved to the skin, filthy. He had been thrown in a back yard with no human contact apart from food thrown to him. He came to the store with an old belt around his neck and a rusty chain attached, non-ambulatory and scared. Fortunately, he was heartworm negative and his fur soon grew… Continue

not Neutered..

Romeo is only 4 months old. He isn't neutered, and i don't want to neuter him yet T___T. Is it okay to neuter him after he has babies? Like when he's 3 or 4?

Tucker has a new sister

In the past week we added a new member to the family. Tucker, has a new sister named Greta. She is a 3 yr old Petite Yellow Lab. Tucker has not enjoyed having to share his Dad's affection. And Chester is none too happy to have another "inferior" four legged sibling in the house.

Petie: Back to normal!

Petie is back on his regular senior food, and eating with normal corgi enthusiasm. He is eager for walks, and playing with Elliott. He will be 14years old in two days. Go dog, go! Thank you, Saint Joe Vets- angels all!

Layla in Labor

Well we are just shy of Labor Day weekend which is fine by me. Layla for the last couple of days has had not much of an appetite and she is a chow hound. Last night her temperature had dropped so I was on high watch checking her every couple of hrs. which made for a restless night. Better to be safe then sorry. This morning she is hiding, panting, pacing the whelping box, tearing the paper, whimpering, vomitting some and denying all food. We are ready for this event and my vet is waiting for my… Continue

Walking the dog

My puppies are almost 6 months old and I want to start taking them on walks in our neighborhood. My question - how far is too far for their little legs?

Thank you

Once again, my daughter and I are overwhelmed at the outpouring of support and care from all of you. I am of course saddened to hear of others' losses but am thankful to those sharing experiences and empathy. We are so grateful we found this website. You are all so wonderful and your messages have been very cathartic in dealing with our grief and loss. It's been a rough 5 days and you are helping us get through it. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

My first Corgi!!

We just got our first corgi!!! She's a 4 month old tri-colored Pembroke (I have pics up!) and we love her so much! We've named her Yumi but I want to make her registered name from her parents. I just can't decide on what name though! Her sire is Little Red Speedy and the dam is Lily Red Flo. So I was thinking maybe Little Red Lily? But I would like to include Yumi in her registered name as well, I just can't think of a good combination. Maybe Flo's Little Yumi? Or Little Red Yumi? Lily's Speedy… Continue

How to cope with death

We lost our beloved Ollie last Friday morning. He was hit by a car after a crazy chain of events. Our daughter's first day back at school, so everyone was busy in the morning and a door got left open without anyone noticing. Our Scottie Angus loves to go down our long, long driveway (we live on 5 acres surrounded by cornfields and soybean fields!) and out onto the road to go visit the neighbors so we always put him on a tie-out if we aren't out with him. Ollie followed Angus down to the road… Continue

LAST WEEK'S ADVENTURES

I have had a busy week! My mom traveled and so I traveled with her as far as my Gram's where my Aunt T became my companion for the week. Mom went to the Keys and Lauderdale to work. I was a bit worried that she wasn't coming back, so I did not sleep well. Paced a bit in the bedroom each night. Aunt T was fun though. She was working in Jax for the week and would come home at lunch and run and run with me in the yard. I love to run!! Then she would take me for a walk and we had so much… Continue

Oh what a silly Corgi I have.

Wendy had a well visit yesterday at the vets office just to get her weight and to get her some more Heartgard Plus and Frontline Plus. She weighed in at 22.7 lbs. They said she looked very happy and healthy. I can't believe she is 8 months already ... time flies when you are having rum I mean fun.

Her new favorite toy is this large ball that she can barely carry around the house, but she loves to throw it and chase it. She is such a nut and I love it.

Question about Cats and Corgis...

Loki attracts cats. Cats LOVE him. When we go for walks, neighborhood cats run out from under cars and behind trees to greet him and rub against him. He is rather indifferent to these "stranger" cats; not hostile and not welcoming. When we go to the pet stores that sell animals or have adoption days, the kittens and cats try to get to him through their cages or want to play with him through the glass... It is REALLY strange.

We have a rather large Bengal mix cat (Milton) at home that… Continue
