6 Months Already?!

Callie is now 6 months old! It seems like just yesterday I was taking her home from the breeders. (I brought her home July 4th!) She is now around 13 pounds and I don't think she will get much bigger. I love how small she is compared to other Corgis. My petite little girl. I have been looking at pictures from when she was younger and it is amazing how fast puppies grow!

Lately she has been crazy. She completely destroyed one of her rope toys yesterday. I was amazed, I went to school in the… Continue

Corgi Fights off Cougar, Loses life.

I saw this article and it about broke my heart.

If you don't feel like clicking, here's the scoop;

In Nevada, a four year old Corgi named Big Bear went out in the morning for a potty and to play with the neighbors dogs. Some time later he returned home gravely injured with puncture wounds around his neck. They estimate he dragged himself an eighth of a mile home after, presumably, escaping a mountain… Continue

20 weeks - my kisser, magnet & alarm clock + new corgi designs

My little Gibson is 20 weeks old now, and finally done w/his puppy vaccinations! Yay! Our vet appointment was last night, and he did so well. The last time we went (5 weeks ago), he was such a little jerk! He kept biting the vet. She had to bring in a 'handler' to give him his shots..and then that weekend he bit my mother-in-law when she was picking him up! It must have been a short phase though.. Since then we've passed obedience and he's been socialized a bit more.. This visit he was a sweet… Continue

Got our 7 week pictures today

Ein turned 7 weeks old yesterday, and our breeder sent us some photos today. Every week, she gets more and more adorable. Her ears are standing up now, and she's starting to turn a lovely orange color. We still have 16 days until she comes to live with us, and I don't know if I can wait that long!

Ein's morning routine

So every morning, Ein rolls around on the carpet, making cute, silly growlie noises. I finally caught a video of him doing that:

I wonder if other corgis do this as well?

DogConomy

I was reading the news feeds today, the information junky that I am and I came across an article saying that pets are feeling the economic pinch too.

I can certainly relate, I had to postpone my cat getting her tooth extracted because things were getting a little hard pressed. When it comes between my mom getting a root canal and the cat getting a tooth yanked out, mom wins, hands down, and that's unfortunate.

The article said that people were missing appointments, not filling… Continue

Neuter Time!

Saxon goes to the vet on December 2 to get neutered. While he is under, if she deems it necessary, the vet will x-ray his right front leg. He has been limping for a few weeks now and I would like to get it looked at. Feel like a worried mom. I will sure be glad when this is over.

Top 5 reasons Obama should get a corgi

5. Face it, there's not a 100 percent allergy-free furry animal in the world.

4. The multi-colors of a Corgi are representative of our own melting pot/salad bowl nation.

3. They can help "herd" members of Congress into the same direction.

2. To further diplomatic relations with Great Britain, particularly the Queen of England.

And the number 1 reason why President-elect Obama should get a corgi:

1. How awesome would it be watch a corgi frap around the White… Continue

Corgis are the Best Barn Dogs Ever

I took both corgis to the barn last night to watch my friends ride. Having been to many horse shows, Molly is pretty good at just sitting and watching, but this would be the Tig's first time as a bystander. I was worried that he would be disruptive or try to lunge at the horses as they trotted by. It was cold and uncomfortable but I put their cozy fleece blankets on them. The dogs sat calmy and watched the horses go round in circles for three hours. No one squeaked or barked once. When the… Continue

Just a dog.... SO NOT TRUE :o)

This pretty much sums it up, I know everyone here gets the looks like I do that ur nuts when u start talking to people that either dont have dogs or dont truly just feel its an animal and not part of the family...

Just a Dog

From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "that's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance travelled, the time spent, or the costs involved for "just a dog." Some of my proudest moments have come… Continue

The Temple of Boom #4

Start Random Observation…

Boomer’s back legs always look like he just got off a horse. And he wiggles his butt when he walks. Which would explain the desire of other dogs to hump him, I guess.

End Random Observation…

Boomer’s ears are wonderful in the fact they are completely indicative of how he’s feeling. Straight up means he’s wide awake and ready to play. Ears half-mast means a little tired. Ears straight out from the side of his head means this dog is about… Continue

Week One Complete

Hello everyone,

Well we have completed the first week of having Rowdy home. He has been pretty easy to handle so far except for getting the timing down of going outside. However on the wonderful side that he has no problem in holding it when we are in the car and then whine a little bit to let us know that he is ready to go. He has truely been a great puppy so far and man he has blown both my wife and I away with how obedient he is. What I mean is that when we take him outside to our… Continue

Agression Question

Hi! I have a question and would like to know if anyone has any advise. I have two almost 1year old pembrok welsh corgis. When I let them out side they go straight to the fence to fight with the dog next door. The dog next door is mean too, but my two go nuts with it. They bite each other and attach each other when they are at the fence. They also go after my other dog (who is blind and old) when he barks at them. They can get very aggresive when the other dogs fuss at them. Does anyone have any… Continue

Best dog food for a corgi?

I have given my Rambo Merrick's Puppy Plate since I got him. Merrick's is hard to find (Petco, Petsmart do not carry it) He is now almost 8 months. What is the BEST food that I can give him? I have tried to keep him very healthy, he walks 1 hour in the mornings and half hour at nights. As snaks he eats fruits and veggies.

Rambo loves apples, pears, watermelon, bananas, carrots, and celery (keeps his teeth very clean and white).

The fruits I give only once in a while… Continue

Collar Issues & My New Corgi Shop!

Gibson's collar has been an issue lately. Before we started obedience class, he wore his collar all of the time, and I thought he looked adorably handsome in it. Well, when we started class, he barely wore his collar, if ever, because we used training collars for class, which he would have to wear every time I'd take him for a walk to practice. So, I've gotten used to Gibson walking around the house 'naked' all of the time and being able to pet his neck and see his beautiful mane (which was non… Continue
