Here comes! A new adventure together.

I started to search for a family dog around summer time. I was not sure which breed to get. I had limited experience with dogs (some mixed breeds) but I knew that I would love to have one for the the family, especially kids. I just felt in love with Cardigan Welsh Corgi because they don't seem too big and yet behave like a big dog. Especially, I loved the short legs. They look so cute.

Zena arrived to my family a week before Thanksgiving 2009. It was also one day before my… Continue

Epiphany.

I had a light bulb moment this morning. I've been trying to figure out why Goldy's potting training hasn't gone well, and comparing her progress to Bear's.



Then I realized -

I got Bear in March.

I got Goldy in October.



I'm a teacher, so I'm off from June through mid August - see where this is going?



Bear was only alone all day for about 2 months, then I was home with him all day - playing outside, walking going to the dog park - therefore a MUCH easier… Continue

Confessions of a Dog-aholic

I remember just two years ago talking to a co-worker and saying, "that's great that you have 3 dogs, but I'm a cat person. I just don't really like dogs." Six months later when I bought Sky I was the poster child for the kind of person who didn't have ANY business buying a puppy, but I was the one in a million that impulse bought a puppy and ended up really being a dog lover, did my research, and want to get involved in the dog world any way possible. I DO NOT recommend anyone follow my… Continue

"quick" breathing?

I have noticed that when my puppy is sleeping his breathing is really short and quick, when he wakes up he is perfectly fine. Is this normal?

Home at last!

So we finally brought our puppy home finally. It has been a very, very long 9 weeks. He is the most amazing little guy! We live about 1hr 30min away from our breeder, and he was very well behaved the whole drive home in his crate. He was a little unsure and nervous at first when we got home, but after some lunch and a nap, he sprang to life and was even playing fetch! He loves his crate, and even had his first poop tonight! It is funny what puppies do to you, now all of the sudden I am excited… Continue

Sadness

8 days ago, our dear Gandalf became ill. Listless, no appetite, trouble breathing. Our vet found a tumor in his heart. After two procedures to pull fluid from the heart sac we are going to a specialist next week. The prognosis is not good but he continues to rally and hang on.

training class

I won a free obedience class recently and today was my first class in basic obedience. I took Rosie and during the class Rosie was doing pretty good, but she got to barking and I kept trying to get her to settle down, but Rosie always barks when she gets overly excited. Towards the end of the class the instructor yelled that Rosie was pissing her off. So I took Rosie out of the ring and we left. I understand that Rosie's barking was annoying, but I was trying my best to get her to settle down.… Continue

Happy Birthday Griffyn!

3 Years old today! Wow... Where has the time gone! It seems like only yesterday when we drove up to meet you and you came bounding out of the kennel along with your 8 siblings! You # 9 of 9!!!



We had picked you from a photograph Lee had sent us (in our photos here on my corgi) but we wanted to bring Soffie up to meet you. It's always been a mystery to me how you instinctively knew that YOU were the chosen one. But you did! Soffie was very stand-off-ish but you were relentless!! You… Continue

May be going to court because of Wynstan. (edit)

This morning I was playing with him out in the backyard. I threw his frisbee and he ran off to catch it. When he was returning it, out of the corner of my eye, the neighbor's pitbull had climbed the fence and was charging towards him, Wynstan was instantly in flee mode. I screamed at the both of them, the other dog didn't even pay me any attention. I did the only thing I could do to save him; I pulled out my conceal carry hand gun and put the dog down. In a matter of minutes the police arrived… Continue

Trials of owning a low-rider

Ah the joys of owning a low-riding Corgi! This morning, Monty and I went out for our morning walk before I had to leave for the auto shop to bring my car in for an alignment. All was good until we made the turn on our road and a piece of plastic bag began blowing past that little curious mouth. I guess it had something tasty on it because before the words "drop it" even began to form he looked up at me and swallowed the whole piece (about 4x6) in size.



Losing all Mommy cool, I… Continue

Eddy's acting totally crazy but my vet says don't worry

Today it rained tons, maybe something worse is in the forecast? You know how some dogs act crazy when its stormy, when there's lots of activity in the air.



Well Eddy usually excitedly runs around, barks, whines, and hides, in high anxiety and high energy (like how a Jack Russel is 24/7). Or he sleeps through it and never knows. But today I came home from school and my room mate said he'd been acting crazy for the past hour, and it was true. He is shaking like he has Parkinson's… Continue

Corgi in West Virginia needs a home!

Dear Friends,

My two dogs had puppies last Easter and I kept one of the pups, on a recent trip home to West Virginia from Louisiana I found our puppy Scout what I thought was a very good home out in the country where he could run instead of cooped up in our home. I got a call today from the guy we gave him to and he said two dogs was too much work and that he was going to give him to the Humane Society - I will not allow this, I will either pay to have him shipped back to me or find him… Continue

Corgis are really nature's anti-depressants

It has been a really rough day, and Wynstan has just been right me since I got home. He knows something is wrong and is not acting like the normal fur-ball of energy that he is. I really could not have been happier with another other dog.
