FRAP

Does anyone else wonder what is going through Corgi minds when they are Frapping? It always makes me laugh because the girls will be sitting there not doing ANYTHING and all of a sudden start running around the house like maniacs, jumping on each other and making crazy noises! They play so rough with each other sometimes people think they are fighting...lol. It's the worst when I am laying on the bed and they come and jump on the bed, jump off me, back down onto the floor and keep going!

New Dog Park fun!

Hi everyone, it's Sidney the corgi!

Today we went to check out another dog park. See, our town does not have a leash-free park, so we get to drive to other towns and see what their parks are like.

Today we went to a park in Rancho Bernardo. It's about 20 minutes from home, but it was worth the time spent in the car! It was a nice big area, divided into three areas: one for big dogs, one for small dogs, and one for all dogs. We went to play in the all dogs area. I had such a… Continue

first day at the dog park

i finally took kaijuu to a dog park .. yes i know i should have done it sooner, but the occasion just never arised!

and to… Continue

Sooo...

Today we all went to Mt. Trashmore to walk. The dogs were so excited and wanted to run all over the place. It has been a boring weekend for them because we have either been out or it has been stormy. The thing I don't understand is WHY? do they have to poop 3 times EACH when we go there? Like they have been holding it in all weekend or something. There were not a lot of people there so that was fun, and Maya was scared of the water bottle we were trying to give them water from. Typical. Oh… Continue

Fleas!

Today I was petting my Corgi and looking at her skin, since we've been having some food allergy issues with her I've been on the look out for scabby patches or flaky spots, and what did I find? Argh!! A flea!

I thought, "Well, She's on Sentinel, she probably just picked one up at the Dog Park. No big deal." And I smooshed it.

I continued on my look over and near her butt fluff, I find another flea. Agh! Smoosh.

I JUST gave her the Sentinel, so I go over and read the box. It says… Continue

"Best week ever" and Corgi's

I know, 2 posts in one week! Unlike me, let alone on the same day. But I just read this awesome article from the "Best week Ever" show's website. It has Corgi's in it, as well as some other mutts!

How Buttercup Performs The "Wave"

Many of you have been asking me how to train your Corgi to do the "Wave". First of all, we never trained Buttercup. He totally taught himself when he was younger. When we adopted him, he started doing it the first evening when I was chopping up vegetables for dinner. Every time I gave him a carrot, he would do it again.

We noticed that he would do it to get attention, as when my husband and I were talking and he felt left out of the conversation. It progressed to his improptu wave… Continue

Oh dog park finally!

Finally finished with his shots I took Cheez-it to the dogpark. It's huge and I think he had a blast. Here is an example of it's hugeness.

I was suprised at his amazing off-leash abilities. He stayed near me almost the entire time, when the girls working at the desk held him while I took the pamphlets/wallet ect. out to the car he was very good until I came back when he started flapping his stubby arms in my direction and gladly jumped from… Continue

Barking at children

My corgi Miles has gotten into a habit of barking/herding children. We don't have children of our own, so when the occassion arises at a friend's BBQ or at a dog park, he will bark and scare small children. When it happens I pick him up and bring him over to the children to show them how to greet a dog properly, but it is still embarrassing. Any suggestions? Have you had to deal with your corgi on this issue? Thanks!

Greenies & Nylabone Clones of Greenies

Man, my poor puppy was so sick off these Green chewables the other day. I tried to give it to her and she turned up her nose to it. I should have taken her advice because she's a corgi (and thus knows everything), but I put some peanut butter on it and coaxed her to chew it.
She worked on it during the course of the day, and by the end she was having soft poops of a vibrant green. She was very unhappy, as was I at having to wipe green poop off of her stubby butt.
NEVAR AGAIN.

A new friend for Gus!

Hello, friends! I haven't updated in awhile, so I thought I'd fill everyone in. After Sandy passed away, Gus was so sad and depressed, and just not himself. Well, we all were. After some serious consideration, we decided to get a new puppy. While we would have loved to get another corgi, we were in a bit of a hurry (since we are all mostly home in the summer, it is the ideal time to get a new pup) so we decided to adopt a puppy. We got a beautiful little mixed breed that we have named "Pearl"… Continue

My Garden Buddy

I'm hoping she'll be my garden buddy and so far she follows me all around while I'm clipping and watering. She'll need to be trained not to eat my plants, among other things and I'm starting to watch the Dog Whisperer!

She's learning "No" mostly about things she shouldn't chew, and also she's having some success with her 'potty spot'.

It's so funny when we say No...No, nooo. to everything she wants to chew. and she lies down in a huff and looks up at me with… Continue

Independence Day of a different sort

Hi gang,

My dear Deion's DM has been progressing rapidly. I have tried two different carts for the last six weeks with little to no success. It is heartbreaking to watch the decline of such a proud and kind fellow who has shared my life for near 10 years.

This past Tuesday gave me quite a scare. Deion didn't get up at all. He laid under the bed from early morning until early evening. He just seemed worried. I picked him up and brought him outside at this time and he just wouldn't… Continue

Educated Puppies!

Hunter and Layla graduated from Puppy Kindergarten last night!!! =) They had to pass a final, involving everything we've learned over the last 8 weeks of classes, and they both did really well! "Leave it" was the only thing that gave them a little trouble. But admittedly, seeing a treat and not eating it is asking a lot! I have been working with them on leave it while we're walking especially, and they've been getting a lot better. So we'll just keep working! The trainer also commented that… Continue

Waiting

Wow! I can not believe how hard it is waiting for my puppy to be old enough to come home! It has only been a week so he is now 3 weeks of age and I still have at least 5-7 weeks left :(

Waiting is exciting though. Kim from Poso Creek in Bakersfield, CA has been kind enough to keep me updated with weekly photos of my buddy so I can see how he grows up.

There is so much to learn about corgis and training dogs that I am glad that I have so much time to read up on everything.… Continue

A new step for Ginny....

Well, I've decided that Ginny is big enough to stay home by herself during the day, after having been able to spend every day at her Grandpa's house. So this week, we finally made the transition. I was really worried at first, but she's doing great. She stays in her kennel, but I put some things in there to try to keep her occupied. I freeze some kongs with water and a few little treats (her "pupsicles") and I use a treat stick to put her breakfast in, so it takes her a while to eat her… Continue
