Life with Gibson: Obedience..1 week to go..

Well, we have 1 week til basic obedience graduation and I'm a little scared. I really don't think Gibson is going to pass! He is the youngest kid in the class and he's learning everything, just a little slower than the other dogs.

Last night in class he really just wanted to play the whole time and kept trying to play w/my feet and "growl" at me when we were walking... and then we did a long 'stay' where we had them sit at one end of the room as we walked to the other, and then call… Continue

Annoyed

I keep getting invites from "Corgis for McCain & Palin." First off, this is a site about corgis not ones' political views. Secondly I might be Independent but I will NOT accept propaganda from this website. I get enough of that crap sent to me by mail. Thirdly I ALREADY VOTED, and for your information it was not for McCain. How DARE you use this site as propaganda!

I am here to talk with people about corgis. Not be pulled into some political BS by someone who thinks it's funny or… Continue

Written on the day we said goodbye to our first Corgi....little Bailey. June 9, 2008

Dear little Bailey-Mae-

Thank you for coming into our home, even for just the brief time that you did. You made us so very happy, and we both felt things for you that we haven't felt in a very long time, and guess what? The struggle you were going thru brought Mommy and Daddy closer together!!! Thank you!

You were so cute and fun and smart and you were a very good girl! We especially liked how easy it was for you to whine your way out of your crate in the middle of the… Continue

The new little girl is here....

I'm thinking of calling her Sian meaning Gods Gift. I believe it is pronounced like Shawn but thinking does it really matter and pronouncing it like "sigh anne". What do you think?

She has a belly and though a vet looked her over before flying over here, I have sent a stool sample out to be cultured and should have results tomorrow afternoon. She was gasey this evening so maybe just a bit bloated but like to sort my eggs and be ahead of any… Continue

Clean butts.

I have a friend whose parents own a dog grooming place. She was telling me about how some breeds, like Pugs, need help cleaning their behinds after they poop because they're not so self-sufficient. Is this true for Corgis since their bodies are of different proportions?

I usually just let Faye out to do her business and she comes right back in when she's done with whatever. I walked her earlier and she pooped (she usually doesn't on walks). I've watched her ever since we got back and… Continue

Animal Guardianship Vs. Ownership

crossposted from personal blog

In response and support of Wendt Worth's Corgis

Animal Guardianship:

Animal Guardianship is a campagin to change the term to describe pet owners from "owner" to "guardian".

On the surface it just looks like an attempt to make pet ownership feel more fuzzy and PC. You don't own your dog! You care for your dog, like a child or an elderly adult. There's more to this change than terminology, though.

The idea is that if people… Continue

Corgi Butts

So, I decided to start a blog called corgi butts! I will still keep you updated on Gibson here, but I will be posting more often over there w/lots of random things. My grand plan is to open a cafepress shop w/the same name that will feature the little butt graphic I created w/all the different colors of corgis (along w/lots of fun corgi sayings and catch phrases of course). Anyways, I hope you'll visit me over there! Thanks!…

Only a few days left!!!

Hey everyone,

I wanted to thank everyone for the great wonderful response we have received from joining the website. We are both very excited to get our first corgi puppy together. Also both of us have been reading up on corgis and we still feel under prepared. I think it is the overwhelming feelings of how do we want to go about training and loving our dog. I know all the training books in the world would never be able to fully prepare us for what we are going to go through in… Continue

thinking about a fresh start!

On Saturday, November 1st:

My boyfriend Brian and I drove 2 hours to meet with a wonderful lady by the name of Patti Gordon. She is a Corgi Breeder, whom I have been in contact with over the last few months. She has such beautiful Corgis! We met her newest liter, and also met with the Mom and Dad of these adorable healthy pups. We toured her property, and played with all the puppies, Mom even joined in. By the time we were ready to leave, I was pretty sure that I wanted to take home… Continue

Can't do it if you are watching.....

Well today for the 1st time I caught Le-Le in the act of coming down the stairs. She has made us be her human elevator since day one. My husband thinks this is cute and says 'Don't teach her to go down, she might hurt herself. I'll pick her up and carry her down... just ask me". Well I am sure you can imagine who 9 out of 10 times takes her down the stairs. Granted most of the time she is following me up and so I have to bring her down. Well there have been a few exceptions when she has gone… Continue

A haven for abuse victims who keep their pets close

When Rose Terry finally resolved to leave her abusive boyfriend, she knew she’d have to live in a shelter for a few weeks before she could start life anew. She had no reservations about that.

But she anguished over Byron, the cat who had seen her through the awful times. None of her friends could take the female feline (the family was first told she was male, hence the name), and she couldn’t bear the thought of placing her in an animal shelter until she got back on her feet. “I was… Continue

Halloween Scare

Callie gave me a big scare on Halloween night. I was getting ready to go to work at a concert and I have bad allergies so I was going to take some Tylenol Allergy pills. I accidentally dropped them and she gobbled them up before I could do anything. Naturally I freaked out knowing that Tylenol is bad, especially that amount on a 12.7 pound dog (she was just weighed). After forcing her to drink Hydrogen Peroxide (as told by the vet who I was on the phone with) she did throw up. Poor thing was… Continue

Myles Update

Myles health hs been going downhill since labor day weekend. During the night on October 31, 2008 we awoke to Myles having convulsions. He was weak, disoriented, shaking, and not responsive. We gave him a baby aspirin, and the symptoms subsided, except he was still weak. We do not have Vet ER, so in the morning when the Vet's office opened, he was in there. He was diagnosed with having high numbers for the kidney failure, dehydration, and electrolite imbalance.

After an overnight… Continue

My new little girl will be arriving tomorrow!

I'm very excited to see my new little Low Rider. She will be arriving around 2:45p Monday and I can't wait. I will be getting plenty of pictures of her to share w/you all and would like some input on names for her. I want something that has meaning behind it. Preferrably a Welsh name but not necessary. I just hope she doesn't get too scared or nervous over her flight and becomes ill. So if I'm not here much tomorrow or for the next couple of days its because I am attending to her to make her… Continue

Life of a puppy.

Fargo will be 6 months old in a week. And I'll have had him for 4 of those months. He's such a good boy but sure has been an eye opening experience. Heh sometimes I get worried about having kids with the amount of stuff we've had to deal with.

In the last 4 months Fargo got bite at the dog park which required a visit to the ER vet.

Came down with an upper respiratory infection that had him sick for two weeks and included two visits to our regular vet.

Contracted a parasite that… Continue

Favorite new toy

I found a new toy for Sidney (of course I spoil him!) that he's crazy about. It's called The Original Incredible Flump string ball by Sergeants. It's big (as big as Sid's head), soft and stringy. My other two dogs keep stealing it from Sid, so I think I need to go buy a couple more. I found it at Ralph's Supermarket for about $6.

Here's a pic of Sid protecting his toy from his "big brothers".…

Maddie's Halloween Costume

Last year Maddie dressed up as the devil, so this year I decided to go with something a little more girly - a witch! She didn't really like her head mask - which was a witch face with purple "hair" and a witch hat with a star on top - so it only stayed on for a bit. She seemed to like her cape (which had a witch sillouette on it!) much better. Here are some photos of Maddie and me on Halloween night:…
