We're in a bit of a pattern here in Kentucky.

It snows, all the schools close, we're out for a day or two, the skies clear for 5 days, then the cycle repeats.

This cycle has almost repeated perfectly since the 2nd week of December - if it weren't so troublesome it would be amazing.

Here is yet another short video of my two beasts enjoying the snow.

Besides baking and cleaning, videoing the dogs is one of the few things that…

Luca is home now! Here's a few things I've noticed in the two days she's been home

-She doesn't like her collar.

-She despises the leash.

-She hates her crate.

-She loves her food so much that she swallows it whole and spits it back up. :[

-She wants to chew on everything(expected) especially on mom's hands/toes. 

-She follows my every step. this makes me happy :]

-She has picked up pretty quickly that potty time is…

So in my last blog posts I wrote about my corgi Dax, who has had terrible allergic reactions to who-knows-what over the last couple of years. This last August/September was the worst it had ever been. Dax had been on multiple allergy medications (both holistic and regular veterinary medications) and the only thing that had seemed to give him any relief from his constant itching was a double-dose of prednisone. I even had him shaved so that I could attempt some topical meds (which didn't even…

Ella's got her first trip to a groomers tomorrow.  I usually just bath her myself, but our new town has so many choices for groomers that I thought I'd give it a try.  A local pet store (that I love) has a separate small pet salon w/ just one groomer and a helper.  It's by appointment only and I loved that her first questions were "what's your dog's name" "what breed of dog is she". Then once she had the type of dog, then she could schedule for the time she would need for Ella.

The wind nearly blew us away but the corgis didn't seem to…

I introduced corgilicious to the barn's resident Great Danes today. There are three at the barn...a senior male (11 years old!!!) tan, a one year old blue female, and a tan GD/something mix.   I don't think the corgis had ever met dogs as big as the Danalicious so I was a bit worried they would be intimidated and be rude. After all, these are the two that give stink eye and like to boss anything around. I think the corgs thought they were ponies or something, it was no big deal.  What a…

Hi Corgi friends,

As many of you know, last August Sidney was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and he underwent FHO surgery in order to give him mobility and alleviate some of the pain. If you've been reading my blog posts, you've seen how he did in his recovery and how he's moving really well now and walks without a limp. It was the right choice to get him the surgery.

Heading away for a weekend at the beach...The downside?? 2 nights away from Ellie. She s staying at my parent's place..they treat her like a "human grandchild" and she goes there many times suring the week...Hope I'm more upset about leaving Ellie than she is about being left by us:-(

Short post/update

Just wanted to let everyone know, We started crate training our 8 week old Oona the night we got her (Saturday 1-15-11), and tonight is the second night in a row she has "gone to bed" with zero crying/whining!

I don't think 4-5 nights is bad at all! I am proud of my little girl, proud of Nate and Myself for being strong in the face of puppy tears (the most heartwrenching sound I have ever had to endure), and proud of Roslyn for being such a…

Ancient Texans loved dogs.

To eat.

An interesting thing to think about when thinking about how our domestic dogs came about. Bred to be guards, hunters and in a pinch, food insurance.

First of all, I'm going to be starting up a blog soon on http://mydogisfunsized.blogspot.com .  Right now I'm working on making a background for it, and because it is called "My Dog is Fun Sized", I decided to go with the theme of dogs in chocolate bar wrappers costumes.  I thought it would be fun to come up with some corgi themed candy bar names to put on them. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions.  These are the ones that I've…

Today was Picadilly's first day home alone for an extend period of time while my mom and dad went to work and I had classes. She was good and didn't wreck or go potty anywhere and we were so proud of her. We were kinda worried how she would handle it because since we had her whenever someone would leave she would sit at the door and cry and scratch the door until either that person came back or someone would get her from the door. I know that when I left it took a lot out of me to not want…
