Learning to Smell the Roses

Well my life has just been turned upside down recently. Due to the economic down turn my husband was displaced from his job here in Fort Worth as a conductor (he works for Union Pacific) and was sent to West Texas. The transisition has been so difficult for me. He came home for the first time this week. It had been a month since I had seen him. He was able to stay a couple of days and then off he went. Thank goodness I have my Maggie and Kids of course.

Maggie is now 9 months old and… Continue

Still nameless but not as nameless as before.

Alright,

I'd like to thank everyone who tried to help name my pup. He still is without an official name, but I've got some

I'll try out on him. I'm picking him up on May 9th. I'm quite excited to finally have him, though he's going to stay with my parents for a few days while I finish finals, but on graduation day, I'll have him all to myself!

So the final list of names are:

for the lovers of corgi artwork as well

There is a wonderful book.. a comic book or graphic novel if you will called Korgi. My Fiance bought it for me about a month or so after i got Favorite. This book is the best book you will ever find. It is illustrated by a wonderful artist named Christian Slade who fell in love with the breed after he met his wife Ann who already had one. He realized that corgis were the best dog ever.. thier character and thier love of mischief made it easy to want to draw them. I get that same itch sometimes… Continue

ALMOST FIVE MONTHS OLD!!!

Dyllan is really growing up fast. You want them to grow out of the puppy stage but then at the same time you dont!! It will be nice when I can trust him alone in the house out of the crate,but for now I am enjoying him as his little puppy self..only problem is he doesnt think he is little! He was playing with our other puppy Kori [german shepherd} she is now 5 months old and 50 pounds to his 12 pounds. Another german shepherd puppy Gunner was over playing he is 60 pounds and Dyllan got their… Continue

Just a BAD week for Max :(

Max is currently at the Vet, "having his Man-hood taken away" which is bad for him already.

Yesterday evening his left eye started blinking a lot. 30 minutes later it was closing. An hour later it started to swell underneath and was closing more. It looked as if he was punched. We ended up taking him that evening to the Animal Hospital. The vet there had to sedate him so she could look at his eye. She said sometimes they can get small objects caught underneath the eyelid. She saw a… Continue

Quick review on LaQuinta

Hey guys, if you've been following me on twitter lately, you probably knew I spent the Easter weekend down in Ft Lauderdale. Besides yummy Cuban sandwiches for breakfast, I have to say my stay at the LaQuinta was a surprise. In the past I tend to stay away from cheap motels or any Inn with the number 6 or 8, however, due to one of my trusty friend's review, I gave LaQunta another look. The check in process was good, I arrived 2 hours before the check in time, no biggie, the front desk person… Continue

Finally...an update!

here goes...

max and juni are doing great, of course! his ears STILL aren't up, but they're "perkier" than when he was a pup, so we're hopeful, lol! they get along pretty well, of course the other day they fought for the same rib bone, even though they each had their own--juneaux has a sharing problem sometimes, we think.

max is definitely the sweetheart, juni too of course, but max just LOVES to snuggle. juni isn't a big snuggler, but she does like a good belly rub:)… Continue

Oh the joys of puppyhood

Although we have had her for such a short time really it has been nothing but a joy. We believe we have a champion frapper in the making, Sami can go like a bat on steroids. She has had only one accident in the house since Monday night when we got her. It was not her fault but mine, reminded me she was not the only one learning but so are we, I thought she was just talking (she is already very vocal) didn't understand she was saying "hey lady I gotta pee can you help me out here"? How such a… Continue

So much alike

Well Koby is growing up faster than I could imagine! He has lost all his front top and bottom teeth. He is looking really muscular and really doing well with the potty training! I am so happy with him. Each day as he grows older he is molding into the great dog he is going to be.

Be careful what you pray for because god answers those prayers!! I prayed that Koby would act like Riley and he is sooo much like him it is almost scary!! He chases bubbles, walks himself on the leash(carries it… Continue

Hi! I'm BG...

Hi! I’m BG, and Mama is finally letting me get on here and introduce myself! BG stands for Bud’s Grandson, and that was what my first master named me when he took me home at 8 weeks old. He is one of my Mom’s sons, and had me for 2 months. I really loved him and my little mistress who was about 2 ½ years old at the time. Unfortunately, he had some problems and had to move to a place where he couldn’t keep me.

Mom had made arrangements for all of… Continue

Update on the Puppy Search

Oy! Its been a bit hectic, just getting around to posting this now...

On Saturday, Dustin & I went to see a litter from Cindy Pera - Summithill Corgis in Acton, CA. I posted pics over the weekend, feel free to check them out.

There were 8 puppies in the litter, 5 male, 3 female. We know we want a little boy, so she didnt even bring the girls out. They were 4 weeks old last Sunday. Dad is a black-headed tri, Mom is a R&W. Two of the boys in the litter are tris (I… Continue

Date with chiuaua

I took Eddy to play with my sister's chiuaua, Dublin, all day. He is a little more robust, but not as tall as her. She was far superior, more coordinated and more dominant, of course. They wrestled all over the place, and she was usually snappy and impatient, and showed utter annoyance for his whining and yipping. She probably won't be so bossy in another month or so. They also have this GIANT white dog, looks like a lab body and a german shepherd head, that Eddy would not go near, even… Continue

First Vet Visit

So, Hannah had her first check-up at the vet today. She is 5 and 1/2 months old and weighed in at 13 pounds. She had her last distemper shot as well as her rabies, so she's all caught up for the next year. The vet said she looks very good and everything checked out fine. Got her started on HeartGuard today as well. They said she will be all set for her spay in a month. All the vet techs and secretaries loved her. She wanted to play with everyone and was even licking all over the doc after her… Continue

2nd round of Heartworm Treatment

Milo took the first round of heartworm treatment really well yesterday. Today is his second and final round of heartworm treatment. Let's hope that this kills the buggers as it seems like they won't put much effort into his problem after this.

I truly hope it works. I love the little guy. He's the sweetest dog I've ever been around and the quietest too! So far I've only heard him whine whenever I'm not in view of him or if I'm crying. I never expected him to be so bonded to me so… Continue

Dudley at Cardigan Welsh Corgi Nationals! Year two!

My heavens what a difference a year makes! I can't wait to get the video off the camera so I can post it. I'm going to put Dudley's run in Novice jumpers last year next to this years Open Jumpers run for comparison. While he didn't qualify on either run, the difference is astounding. Last year he did 2 or 3 jumps and then zoomied around the ring with me trying to get him to the exit where he decided the tunnel looked especially enticing. He tried to see how many times he could get through it… Continue

Follow Up To Neutering & More

As per my previous post, yesterday was Finn's appointment to be neutered, have his hips x-rayed and check out his tummy in the x-ray as well to make sure he didn't have something stuck in there. There was good news and bad news, so we'll start with the good.

The good news is that Finn's surgery went very well. He has two incisions one of which is low at the base of the scrotum where they usually go to neuter and another on his abdomen (this one is larger). The vet hoped he'd find… Continue

Outgrowing Biting...

Optimus is nearly 5 months old now and he still bites at our hands if there's no toys anywhere nearby. They're just play bites, but he still hasn't lost all his baby teeth yet, so they're still pretty sharp. Everyone keeps saying he'll outgrow it, but I'm wondering if it's something that we really need to start conditioning him against. We hold his mouth shut for about 10 seconds when we can, but he's very quick and catching him is sometimes hard. Not to mention he thinks we're just playing.… Continue

how can I train Chloe to clean up after herself?

I'd like Chloe to learn to pick up her toys and put them back in her basket. On the rare occasion when she does put them in the basket I make a big deal about it. I was not that succesful with my sons, but Chloe is more motivated by food.
