So since Winston lives at my boyfriends house, I'm always over there. Since I'm always there, I always see lots of people taking their dogs on walks. His neighborhood is a pretty highly dog-populated neighborhood (unlike mine, where we can't have ANY fences except for an electrical fence, because of stupid "rules" or whatever... But anyways. Since Winston's moved in, I've seen a lot of corgis in the neighborhood! There's even a new puppy. There's a Cardigan named Oreo, a Pembroke named Tank,… Continue
Friday's weather forecast for Tennessee is mixed -- in the middle and upper elevations, there's supposed to be snow and wintery precip. Here in the valley of East Tennessee, we're supposed to get hardly any precip and not enough snow to stick. I have been praying for snow since, oh, 1997 or so. We don't get it here any more. Now I'm totally torn between wishing for snow and hoping it's all going away. I don't want anything to prevent me from driving west to pick up Puppy To Be Named… Continue
So this video was posted on "I can has cheezburger" a couple of days ago. It's super cute and it sounds like a baby murloc from Warcraft.
And it led me to think - hmmmm. . .maybe my 2 devils would like broccoli, they already like bananas, carrots, and popcorn. So I went to the grocery store and spent a whoppin' $0.44 on some broccoli.
Now that's a video that I wish I would've taken - Blaze didn't roll on it, surprisingly - but spit it out many,… Continue

Ok, so before we go pick up our new puppy in January, we need to finish getting all the essentials. This includes bowls and a brush mainly. Anyways, the dog's name is going to be Optimus (after the transformer, yeah I'm a dork). Anyawys, I went to cafepress.com and created a dog bowl with his name and a symbol from the Transformers TV show. I ordered it, but the next morning I found out that I had to cancel it because the image was copyrighted. I really like the design I made and I really want… Continue
Well, already after just one day Olive has shown great progress. There was no chewing while I was at work yesterday, no chewing while I was asleep and nothing had been destroyed when I went home to walk her this afternoon. She was being a very good girl. We picked up a whole bag full of different types of chewy bones for her, and a tennis ball. She's got things to occupy her now, plus I think she and the cat have finally become friends. I see them touch noses a lot lately. It's so… Continue

we had just recently put our shar-pei mix named Danger down due to aggression issues. we had not intended to get another friend, much less 2- so shortly after Danger went to sleep. i am a dog person and there hasn't really been a time in my life that i have not had one so i knew this was going to be extremely rough.
so i started looking on craigslist and i ran across Astro. i called the girl and told her my story and told her that i must meet this little one that she had. we worked it out,… Continue
I was sitting in bed last night enjoying Private Practice when I hear noises out in the kitchen. Thinking that KC is trying to climb into the garbage can again, I quietly tip toe down the hallway and turn on the light. KC is laying under the Christmas tree.....with her nose in the brand new bag of treats I had bought her yesterday. Literally had taken two out when we were running through some commands yesterday, and there are now three left out of a 7oz. package. Boy did she know she was in… Continue
Hey as most of you know my beloved Riley died of cancer. So to me it is so important to be aware and also to help research a cure. I have found a great website dedicated to finding cures for cancer and when you donate for every $ they send you a bracelet you can pass around to let others know or keep for yourself. So if anyone is interested the website is

Just as in people, early detection is critical. That's why it's so important… Continue
Here is an example of some corgi metal art. The artist has two versions, this and one sitting. Also options for display, a stake in ground or standing. I have her email if anyone is interested.
I found a really neat article about dogs and envy. The basic premise is that if a dog sees another dog getting a better reward for the same command that they are doing, they will stop doing the command because they see that they are getting a raw deal.
Some of us already know that our Corgis are clever little furkids, but I never imagined that the reason she hates the cats might be because she thinks they get better… Continue
I am looking for anyone who took pics at the picnic in Melbourne, FL? And to anyone in the Cocoa Beach area - we are having a Xmas party at the Lori Wilson Dog Park on Sunday at 3pm. Everyone is asked to bring food, blankets, and such for the humane society. All is welcome and Bucky and I hope to see you there!
Well quite a few new events in the last few days. Ceiro got his first bath this weekend. [as you can see in the couple of pics I posted] He wasn't real fond of it but he did ok with it. Later that same day he discovered how to "work" the stairs. So I had to stick a gate up. I am letting him go up them with me, but not coming down yet. His balance is much better but I'm worried he might tumble coming down.
Today he had his first visit to the vet. Just his next round of vaccinations.… Continue
Man, it has been forever since I posted an update on Dally's agility!! Sorry I've been such a slacker lately, but life has been crazy busy for me, and I haven't been on MC.com in a long time.
Dally and I have been consistantly competing at agility trials at least once a month, mostly AKC. She has earned her Open Standard title, and is one leg away from earning her Open Jumpers title. We've competed in Excellent Standard A at a couple of trials now, and find that the courses aren't… Continue

Recently my man and I bought a projector for our living room in lieu of a TV. It's fabulous for watching movies and TV that streams online, but it has created an absolute monster in Griff. He has always had an obsession with laser pointers - he doesn't stop chasing it long after it has disappeared - but this is something new.
We control the projector through a laptop. The mouse we use is projected to maybe 4" in height on the wall (which serves as our screen), and it drives… Continue

On Saturday, hubby and I decided to "let go" of the leash at the grassy area near his old junior high. There were a few other people there: one perfecting his golf swing., a couple men flying RC planes and an owner training his golden retriever off leash. I thought these distractions would send Trice everywhich way, but surprisingly, he was very focused on us!
The moment we unclasped the leash, we let him run wild. I could see his corgi smile shine through, knowing he wasn't… Continue
Squee! Just talked to the breeder, and I can pick up Puppy To Be Named Later on Friday -- can't wait!!!
Ahem. Anyway, back to the story, which I'd better finish before I have a puppy to distract me --
After fabulous Sherry's last days, my family moved to Tennessee. I started a new school in a whole new state without the moral support of a dog. Y'know, looking back, I know that it was only about four months between Sherry's death and Taduh's introduction to our family, but… Continue
