Lesson Learned! Bored Corgi + Distracted Mom=Mangled Cell Phone

Well, I've just learned a very valuable lesson about what will happen if Grover hasn't had a walk and I'm distracted. I was sitting on the coach playing Guitar Hero. Yes I'm 26 and was pumped to get Guitar Hero for X-Mas...I'm a dork. Grover was whiney because he wanted his evening walk and I was just too damned distracted...one minute he's chewing his Nyla, the next...my cell phone. He certainly got the walk once I realized my error...but not before he had a time out in his crate!!

My… Continue

Incurable skin disorder... how can we boost the immune system?

My baby girl is 4 yrs old, will be 5 in May. She is purebred AKC registered Pembroke Welsh Corgi. She has been with me (well, we got her the day after we got engaged, and we're now divorced) since she was 6 wks old. She is my first dog on my own and I wanted to do everything right. I lived in the country growing up with lots of animals and dogs. But, she was my first on own after college. She went through Puppy Head Start at PetsMart, picked up on everything quickly, very social b/c she went… Continue

Update on Dragster

Hey everyone,

Thanks so much for all your help first of all. The first thing i thought of was go to mycorgi and ask questions!

Anyway, I got drag boy to the vet around 8:30 this morning after a sleepless night of bloody paper towels and tears. I tried hard to keep it in, because i know he can sense my feelings. His nose never completely stopped bleeding, he bled all over his dog bed and floor. I was worried about blood loss, but since the blood was so fresh and bright red i knew… Continue

my dog, the eunuch

Earlier in December, I took Bentley to the vet to get neutered. I brought him home and all he wanted to do was sleep (which they said was normal.) He would walk and then stop and if he stopped for too long he would start to fall asleep. Even while he was sitting down:

Hahahaha, poor guy.

He was fine the next day but I had to keep the e-collar on because he kept wanting to lick at his stitches. And while he was walking around, I… Continue

HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dragster was bleeding profusely from the nose tonight. So i called the home again emergency line, and they told me to take him to the vet.

The only thing i could think of is he fell out of the window of my truck on cement 2 days ago.

Well my vet is only an emergency vet, and hes deffinantly rude and money hungry.

Its $110 just to have him walk in the door.

I dont care about that, i just need answers.

The stupid vet ran a tick fever test, which… Continue

Diabetic Corgi

I have formed a group called Diabetic Corgis. This is for anyone to join. It's mainly to provide support to owners of diabetic Corgis, but I'm not limiting the group to just that.

I almost lost my sweet Chester to diabetes last May. My vet diagnosed him on a Friday, but didn't want to give him any insulin for a week because he'd been on steroids for a neck injury. Well, that almost killed him. By the following Monday (Memorial Day) he lost the use of his back legs and had been crying… Continue

Corgi Puppy Update

I finally have time to blog about my first corgi, Momo. When I first went to see him, there were 5 boy puppies running around chomping on toes, and there was this medium sized puppy with medium temperament, and a thick white stripe down his nose. He was the one I picked out, his breeder said they were 7-8 weeks old and is ready to go home with me. His sister, the only female of the litter has already gone home with a family. I wanted to wait a bit, until they learn bite inhibition, and a little… Continue
