A local artist offered her services for a fundraiser so an assistance dog could have surgery. Here's Sidney's masterpiece!

He looks like quite the butterball here, but I promise he's not that chunky!

Hello all my corgi friends!  It's been a while since I have checked in.  I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and enjoyed time with family, friends and fur babies.  Isabella was spoiled rotten with new toys and treats.  She loved chewing up all the boxes and wrapping paper.  It was great fun!  Oh, right before Christmas Isabella went to her first grooming appointment.  I am great at baths and have no problems there, but she developed a few mats behind her ears that I didn't want to…

On January 5th our newspaper, The Lansing State Journal, printed an article about a visit to a local high school by a Hope College professor that uses his Welsh Corgi ,Elvis, to help teach calculus. I read about this a few years ago but did not realize that he lived in Michigan. He noticed while playing fetch with Elvis that the dog took the shortest and best route to the ball every time. Always knew our buddies were smart!

We had our first Christmas with Winston. We drove up to Virginia with him and he got to see snow! He took to it quickly. Even on our first walk around the neighborhood, he decided he'd rather hop about in the snow than walk along the asphalt with us. We wrapped some big snack chew treats in paper and let Winston unwrap them. He did pretty well for his first time, but after he had some help, he kept trying to look into the wrapping paper for the bone. It was cute.

 

What was…

We live in Florida a typically hot and humid place, lately it has been dry and cold. This is when Benjamin has started his new problem. He is itching and biting like crazy. He is itching so much that he he is causing himself to bleed. We don't have fleas, and we haven't changed his diet. We know that we have been dealing with extremely dry skin ourselves (lack of moisture in the air) and we believe that this is his problem. Is there something we can put on him to soothe his itchiness?

I have noticed recently (last 2 weeks) Roslyn has started a new behavior.

I have always been quite proud that she is hardly ever destructive (except for the time when she and a friends dog decided that ripping each leg off an octopus toy during tug of war was a good idea), and has always known the difference between her toys and my things.

Suddenly I find her sleeping on my slippers every morning. Each morning my husband wakes up first to…

Hi everyone.. So on New Years day my boyfriend and I decided to take keiko and our new adopted jack russell terrier mix to the park for some play time. Keiko was chasing Lenny and suddenly she let out a cry and stopped mid chase... Took her to her vet this AM and he immediately diagnosed a torn knee ligament and advised surgery without even taking x rays. He quoted me 4500..needles to say, I was very overwhelmed with the thought of my babe under going this invasive surgery called TPLO. I… Continue

So not to show favorites my wonderful boyfriend has completed this masterpiece:

My baby came home for the first time on November 11, 2009 at 8 weeks old. She was just a tiny little thing, but has already grown to about 25 pounds. I can't believe it's already been over a year since she's been home: I actually had to double check the date, because it feels like our time together has been so short.

I have another dog, Lady- a German Shepherd, and if the weather permits, both stay outdoors. I'm in California so Mango likes to be outside at night, chasing all the bees…

So I'm a little behind in posting this (I mean these pics are soooo last year!) but I figured better late than never!  These are pictures from our little social last month.  We had a pizza party for the humans and a gift exchange for the doggies.  It was a ton of fun! … Continue

 

Well, it has been just under four months since Sidney underwent FHO surgery for his hip dysplasia.

It has been a tradition for me to take Sidney and whichever kids I could drag out of bed on a New Year's Day hike on one of our local trails. I was sure that Sidney would not be able to join us this year due to his surgery. But he has been healing so well…
