My dearest friend (who introduced me to corgis) will be going out of town for a week and I have offered to watch her corgi, Emily, for her. My dogs normally get along very well with her. They always hang out at the barn, go on car rides, etc. But I haven't had her at my house unattended without her human mom since I've gotten Tigger. Molly and Tigger can be real bullies (esp. Molly cuz she is the brains and Tig is the muscle). There was only one incident that was bad, and it was that… Continue

Dog Class was a lot of fun...we work on a lot of stuff...walking figure 8's around other dogs, greeting, come, lay down, and then some agility stuff....there were a lot of dogs in class tonight, most of them TIgger was familiar with...there was a new little jack or corgi mix that was very whiny...and came close to Tig and had some NTN and Tigger growled at her. And then another GS that Tig is v.v. familiar with came up and did NTN contact,and Tig growled and curled his lip at him.... we… Continue

Today in dog class, Tig learned to "Spread em!"

I got a Bissell SpotBot for Christmas. I love this thing! I got ride of three stains in 15 minutes using the auto setting! I just SpotBotted the corner of the sofa that Tig has christened by using the manual hose...the stains are ALL GONE! I used the mean green cleaner and a small container of pet stain remover...you go through a lot of solution but it is relatively cheap. All in about 45 minutes! AH-MAZE-ING! Me and Stanley Steamer may be broke up now! :-D

It is cold outside! I know that the corgis have a double coat, but when they are sitting around in the cold damp barn, I am sure they get a little chilly. I also like them protected from the drizzly cold weather. I bought them these great fleece dog blankets from Dover Saddlery...Now they match my horse!!! The large seems to fit them well...… Continue

For Christmas this year, I received a beautiful needlepoint stocking featuring a red & white corgi...it is perfect for Tigger. But then, it left Molly without a stocking! So, it was my mission to find Molly her own stocking...I was unable to find a black-headed tri stocking but I did find a stocking that featured a tri-color corgi on it. For the best price and service, I found one at www.strictlyanimals.com.…

Hey Y'all! I was registering my Spot Bot on Bisselldotcom and decided to enter the T-Dawg...So far he has 20 votes. A boxer has over 100 already, whatevs! Corgis Rule, everybody else drools! Voting ends on 1/14! http://mvp.bissell.com/mvp_PetDetail.aspx?id=8589938325

This morning I was walking the dogs around the block, on our way to our neighborhood park. On our way over, a policeman in his cruiser stopped me to warn me that there was a loose rotweiler in the park and that I should head the otherway. I was so grateful! If I had gotten anywhere near the park, something might have happened! There have been so many lose dogs in that park, and they are always drawn to dogs on a leash!!!!
