Spring is coming!

First of all I'd like to share that Callie's back is fine and she's feeling better.

In other news I'm so excited that spring is coming and with that brings warmer weather. The only thing is the fact that Callie gets SO dirty when we go outside. My apartment place's grass is thin and mostly mud, they have been trying things to make it grow and last summer there was a difference, but still there is a lot of mud. Also in the parking lot all the gravel and water makes a big mess. So… Continue

Celebrating Lizzie's 2nd Birthday!

Can't believe it has been another year.. time sure does fly! Lizzie is still as busy as ever... this year she has visited Grandma and Grandaddy in Virginia three times. She spent some time in Nags Head NC.. went swimming in the sound! She has enjoyed visiting with her friends at Corgi meetups and the FL Corgi picnic, where she meet another sister Penny, won the petsmart halloween costume contest, and just completed a class so she can visit nursing homes! We still love going to the puppy park… Continue

Let us pause (paws?) for a moment

Here's Gromit's first piece of backyard agility equipment, a new pause table. I built it out of some lumber salvaged from another project. A bit of sawing, some sanding, a couple of dozen deck screws, a bit of blue "parking lot zone paint" with some sand in it to make it non-skid and we're good to go. The REAL carpenters and woodworkers reading this are requested to please muffle…

Not crating again+Treat on nose

We're back to leaving Eddy running free while we're gone. It's been about a month, and so far, no issues. We even did a ton of cleaning and re-arranging, and it still didn't seem to incite chewing. Usually he goes crazy when the environment is ruffled. Maybe the puppy chewing is over, but we're still looking out for general destruction. Of course we try to leave him sleepy, full, and surrounded by favorite playthings. Hopefully that's enough and we don't run into deeper problems.…

Happy 3rd Birthday

My baby girl is growing up so fast! Today is her 3rd birthday. She got scrambled eggs for breakfast & a nice long walk... I just love my little Lola bear!!! The first picture is the one we saw on a website & decided to get her (yes, I know... HORRIBLE that I got her online, I won't EVER do that again now that I know better) and the 2nd picture is of her just a few weeks ago. Still so pretty :)…

Butch the Corgi Detective

Hey everyone, thought I'd pass along this link to a story of a brave corgi named Butch. If the thief is apprehended, I think Butch should get a reward, don't you????

puff, puff, wheeze, wheeze

I sort of semi-fiddled around with agility stuff back about 2000 with my first Corgi and had some basic, homemade agility equipment in the backyard. Tossed it all out last year due to age and condition. Holly, our min-Dachshund, loves to play "squeaky chase" and "I'm hiding and I'm not coming out." Agility never seemed to interest her, however.

Agility training, even in a casual way is good stuff for dogs and dog owners. I think it gives direction to training and makes it seem less… Continue

Aggressive Eaters

Ein & Faye are great dogs and you can take anything away from them, or put your hand right over or into their dish while they are eating without incident. But get them anywhere near one another - even if they are just crated side by side - and introduce food, and you are asking for a fight.

They didn't start out quite that aggressive, and in the past, Ein has been very submissive about it, preferring not to get into a fight. However Faye is very possessive of food - including food… Continue

Free 1 yr old corgi for adoption!

My corgi breeder has a 1 yr old red female for adoption. Her name is Copper. The people that adopted her do not have the time to work with her. She has some food aggression. When she was worked with she began to rehabilitate quite well, however, the previous owners did not have the time to work with her and is asking for help to find a family to adopt her that can rehabilitate her. I would so take her, however, with my living arrangements I can not take on another dog. I have pictures of her…

Some Wise Fellow

My two favorite critters: Gromit and my son Dave.

Writing the previous posts, which were more about the Corgis I had than the one I now have, brought to mind a quote I picked up somewhere. I have no idea who it may have been but some wise fellow once said "A new dog can never take the place of an old dog but in time will make a place for itself." So it is with my new Corgi pal… Continue

Long about 1998 I was looking for a dog for myself. I'm a guy so I wanted a big, manly dog. >harrumph, spit<.

Corgifest 2000?

Ten years back now (ten years?? Where did the time go?) my family and I thought it would be grand fun to organize a Corgi picnic. A year previously we'd brought home our PWC, "Watson", and thought it would be fun to try and get together with as many Corgi as we could locate here in Arizona. The event was a resounding success with about 50 Corgis and 80… Continue

Teething, Soft Stool, Gosh... what else is new?!

It looks like we are burgeoning into a somewhat interesting period for Jackson. He is losing teeth left and right. He lost his FOUR top front teeth yesterday, and two bottom teeth last week. And the adult teeth are already growing in! I feel so bad for my little guy! Ouchie!

And on top of all of this, he's been having softer stool for a few weeks now... but recently it's started getting REALLY soft. I feel like part of this is my fault. Almost two weeks ago we flew to Atlanta, which… Continue

Bye-bye Boy Bits

Waffle got neutered today! It was an intense surgery because one of his testicles didn't drop at all, poor boy. I'm going to buy a toy for him today at PetSmart so I have a gift for him when I visit over spring break. :]

Family Rotty mauls 3 year old to death

I was kinda shocked to hear this today because I thought these breeds(pitts,akitas,dobeys,and rotty's) were considered safe around children and their family. I thought I read somewhere that pitt bulls were used as nanny's for children at one point. The only thing I thought was distirbing was the child was outside unsupervised with the dog. So I was wondering what you guys thought about this because I wouldn't leave a young child unsupervised with my corgi's even though they LOVE little kids,… Continue
