The Loose Tooth (not the first, and not the last, but still EPIC)

Pooka has lost all her front teeth and is now working on her molars. I have only managed to find ONE baby tooth as it was sitting on the couch and she was licking at it preparing to eat it. So I have a small molar on my mantle.

Today we were playing frisbee and suddenly she started, what looked like gagging, just reeaaally trying to get something out of her mouth. I went over and stuck my finger all around in there feeling for a problem until I noticed the blood along her top… Continue

Le-le is 3!

Le-Le had her 3rd birthday yesterday. Tomorrow is her anniversary of being in our family. In 2008 we picked up a very scared, confused corgi, renamed her and now a year later she is ours completely. She loves my husband and gives him big kisses every morning. This from a dog who was so scared of him the 1st month. On the rare occasion that she barks we get so excited to hear her speak. She does make cute funny noises every morning before we start the day.She comes when I call, will sit on… Continue

Just wanted to say Hi!

A few Indy updates:

- She saw her first snow last month. On a walk, she saw a snowman, froze, barked at it and ran away.

- She likes to steal cotton balls form the trash can and gobble them up like cotton candy.

- She is quite the snorer.

- She has grown to be quite the snuggler! :) She was so squirmy in the past.

- When big dogs bark at her on our walks, she will turn around and run ALL the way home, dragging me behind her. Recently, she has gotten better at… Continue

Tribute To Mr Jack

On my birthday I wanted to do something I would remember. Since I don't have kids, I decided Jack's name would be perfect. :) Besides, Jack is my child, and I always want him to be with me. <3

Pet Gates

We're thinking of putting Kitsie in a "safe area" by gating off the kitchen from the living room. My hubby thinks she'll jump over a normal 28-30" high gate. but finding taller ones that fit up to an 8 foot wide opening are hard to come by. Leave a message on my page if any of you have any suggestions!

Conclusion - last sad thing for a bit, hopefully.

I got back Gabriel's autopsy results yesterday. The diagnosis was a sudden internal bacterial infection that went instantly septic. The vets talked to me for a while - there's no way they'll ever really know where it was or began. It could have been something as minor as a tiny cut in his mouth that just healed up instantly but trapped a pocket of bacteria and it spread through his bloodstream to his heart and internal organs. They honestly don't think there's anything anyone could have done,… Continue

Chesney got to meet her big sister!

Hey all I just put some pics of Chesney meeting her big sister K.C. for the first time and seeing her brother for the first time since she came home to us. It was too cute...lol.
Taz was afraid of her at first. She is pretty dominant most of the time because Oreo just lets her do whatever she wants...lol. But then K.C. came in and Chesney decided to try and growl at her and K.C. put her in her place and from then on she ran away from K.C...lol Guess she's not so tough after all!

Accidents Are Getting Fewer!

It's about time! We've had Optimus for almost a month now. Over the past 2 days he's only peed in the house once, and it was my fault (Hilliary was at class and I was focused on fixing her computer [stupid Vista...]). He's actually been a very good boy the last 2 days too. His biting has gone down quite a bit as well. We're really not doing anything different, I think he's just finally starting to learn! We're so proud of him!

On a separate note, as of yesterday, his second ear is… Continue

Choosing the RIGHT Breeders:(

Ahhh...where to begin. About 3 months ago, my husband and I decided to buy another puppy. Juneaux was already 6 months or so, and with a baby on the way, we thought she should have a friend. We contemplated adopting a dog, but could never find anything the right size--face it, corgis are the best! So I signed up on puppyfind.com, and thought I'd look there. We had a hard time finding one we liked that didn't have a $300 shipping fee attached, and even the ones in Texas were just too far for us… Continue

Thanks for Your Support!!!

Hey guys! Thanks again for all your support regarding the Bissell MVP voting. Unfortunately, I came up short and didn't place. Maybe next time then. My mom says I'm a winner regardless, so that makes me feel better :) My mom told me that they're gonna enroll me in obedience classes soon. Whatever those are. Maybe it's about how I pull like a wild horse when they walk me. Maybe that's it. Anywho, she also told me that I'm gonna get a "snip snip" too. Now that sounds interesting! Uh oh! I'll let… Continue

Dispatches from the Low End of the Leash: Wise Words from the Left Coast

Although Ethel (my niece) and I (Bertie Wooster, chief Corgi of Lakeside, CT) have never been west of New York, we discovered this article online through one of our number at the Golden Gate Corgi group, and we think it sums things up rather well, so we thought we'd share (we apologize if it's not a clickable link, we're a little bit luddite-ish and not sure how to do that): The Truth About Corgis (oh, thanks to Geri &… Continue
