Agility

Sky is going to start Agility classes this week! I am so excited and I know he would be too if he understood. Has anyone ever done agility before? Any stories or suggestions?

Recap: The last 6 weeks with Dobey, now 17wks old

Is my puppy 17 weeks old already?!?

Thinking back, it seems like we brought Dobey home just last weekend, but it feels like a lifetime ago! I can't believe I have such a wonderful and amazing puppy to call my own!

We've had quite a few hurdles to overcome since bring Dobey home. So, let's recap the last +6 weeks...

Jason and I bought a condo back in January that was under construction until June. During that time, we were assured over and over that the sun deck… Continue

Cancer

I am very scared for Algy. This summer he had a tumor on his spleen that ruptured and caused major and massive interal bleeding. He had emergency surgery to have his spleen removed and when the tissue was out they found that he had low grade lymphoma. The vet was sure that they got all of the infected tissue and that his recovery would be fine. Well, he is still doing well and his bloodwork is OK, although he is showing some signs of mild anemia. The problem is that his lymph nodes are swollen… Continue

Dax, Doggy Problem Solver

Dax and Pixel have loved each other from the moment they met. Pixel was so tiny and Dax so big, but she was so gentle and loving, and I never had a moment's fear that she would harm him.

Pixel loves to play with Dax and when he was a puppy he would jump on her, chew on her big droopy lips, pull the hair out of her tail, and be an all around nuisance. Dax never once reprimanded him and never once even barked at him to go away. She did have her ways of coping, though, and really… Continue

Corgi sighting!

I was just browsing on AnimalPlanet.com and was looking at the It's Me or The Dog site when I saw this quiz. I clicked on it and what do I see! An adorable tri on a surfboard! LOL and at the end of the quiz the same tri was in a boat. Sooo cute!

Your friend, Misty, just requested that we send you this link on AnimalPlanet.com:

Herding

We took Spencer herding yesterday. He had an instinct test and he passed with flying colors. It was amazing to see him take to herding so easily. Instantly he was moving the herd, bringing stray sheep back, bringing the sheep to us, he had so much fun.

Husband's Blog Entry

As I mentioned earlier, Pixel goes paddling with my husband and they both enjoy themselves immensely. Here is a posting that my husband did on his canoe and kayaking blog about their experience on the river: http://photokayaker.fit2paddle.com/paddling-with-pixel-the-water-corgi/ I don't know how to make this link clickable, but you can cut and paste it into your web browser and see them both together - my boys on the river getting "man time" in.

Pixel the Water Corgi

Our corgi, Pixel, has been raised by our older (and extremely tolerant) newfoundland girl, Dax. Dax was a saint while raising Pixel and never once reprimanded him, no matter what he did or how much he tortured her. For a while, she was covered with tiny scabs - the result of Pixel's lack of control with his razor-sharp puppy teeth. One of the things that resulted from being raised by a newf is that Pixel thinks he is a water dog. He will happily run through any puddle, swim in the lakes we… Continue

Starting Puppy Kindergarten---FINALLY! What should I expect?

Stella starts puppy kindergarten this Tuesday! I've never taken a puppy to kindergarten classes before, so this will be a first for both of us. Even before I got Stella I was planning to take my Corgi to classes because of their bold reputation--which Stella is definitely living up to! She's living up to the high intelligence reputation, too, so that helps. Anyway, if you happen to read this post and want to comment about your pup before and after… Continue

Looking for a corgi rescue in my area

We're thinking about getting another Corgi. We live by Wichita, KS. We would like to rescue a corgi not buy from a breeder. We are looking for a female. Sgt. Scooter Pants is a male and we're thinking a female might be better. We would be willing to travel some distance.

He's Healthy!

We took Kenji to his first physical exam and gave him a set of vaccination shots.
He was a trooper all around.
Stool sample was good. He didn't whine when he got probed.
He didn't even bark when they gave him his shots!
He checked out physically, 2 balls were there, lol.
He was a hit at the Vet Clinic. Even the employee wanted a picture of him!
The Doctor was telling us that we got us a good deal on this puppy.
She couldn't believe how much we had paid for him.

Bear's home!!!

I can't tell you how relieved to report Bear is home and in great condition. She had to have a round of Dialysis at USF to remove the poison. If anything like this should happen to your babies( hopefully not) please take them to USF if you live in Florida and to anyone else who can do Dialysis. It's the difference between life and death. We have an acre of totally fenced in yard and they are never out unless I am with them and this has happened twice now. Unbelievable!!! Our house has been for… Continue

Vacationing corgis are apparently irresistible!

We took Doris Daylily with us to Helen, Georgia for our very short vacation earlier this week, and I learned a lot about traveling with a dog.

1. People love dogs. I had no idea! I don't go around chasing other people on the street or in the park when they're walking their dogs, trying to pet their dogs. But when you're in a tourist town with a lot of other tourists, and you have your corgi with you, you get stopped A LOT. Everyone wants to pet the dog. Everyone wants to know what it… Continue

Puppy of a Broken Home

My boyfriend and I started dating over a year ago, and when I caught him cheating last week, I kicked him out. I bought Bear while we were together. I'm doing okay, but Bear keeps looking all over for him. Everytime we go outside, he checks the parking area for his truck, when I go upstairs and call for him to follow me, he sits at the door, looks at the door, looks at me.

When my boyfriend stopped by the other day to get some more of his stuff, Bear of course was ALL over him and… Continue

6 month old corgi puppy at Peoria Illinois Shelter

Someone left a six month old male tri-color corgi at the shelter's front gate. He has been there since August 22, 2009, so his time is limited. He really needs a home ASAP!

D-Con Mice/Rat Poison Pellets -- Do You Know What to Do?

My loveable Topaz loves to chase rabbits, squirrels, cats, lizards, frogs, virtually anything that moves fast on the ground.

Friday morning when she caught a mouse on first snap I was so proud of her! -- Until I realized she wasn't going to present me with her "gift." Instead she was savoring it for herself, taking it out to the backyard to finish off.

Then it hit me -- I've got mice/rat pellet poison down in the house and this mouse could have ingested… Continue

A Charlie update.

So figured it was time to give an update on Charlie-boy. It was a little bit ago that we adopted him and was deciding on keeping him or not.

Well needless to say he is one of the family now. Napping happily to my right.

His feralness is almost completely gone. The wild whites of his eyes are gone and he's finally showing his corgi side and a personality that was hiding under that wild OMGWHATSGOINGON form. He's so sweet and surprised me when one of our neighbors kids just… Continue

David Blouin says there are Three distinct relationships that people have with dogs!

Football fan

I can't help giggling to myself as I watch my husband and our little Puck lounging together on the recliner. They are both engrossed in the current football game. Puck looks so observant! His head moves as the players move and he really seems to be watching the game. I wonder which team he is rooting for? My husband would say he's rooting for the Vikings. :)

Hardy is back from the hospital...hooray!

At 4pm I was able to go pick up the little guy. It's been determined that he has colitis, and after 7 hours on the IV he looks so much better. (He has some very nasty gas right now, though so it's very hard to give him lots of lovins!)

We still don't know what triggered the colitis. I am wondering if it may have had to do with a dog food switch, since he eats Taste of The Wild Buffalo formula and we mixed in some of the Salmon formula (a sample from the pet store) for a couple of… Continue
