A dogs memory

Do animals remember things? Some people say that they don't. But if not how do they learn things, how do they know that we are their people? Well I for one believe they have a very good memory.



Last night my husband and I went to our son and his new wife's for dinner, we took Quin with us of course:) They have 2 cats, we have 2 cats as well, so Quin is very well acquainted to cats. Both of their cats lived with us before my son was married. One of them is a kitten which was from a… Continue

Yoshi pillow for Yoshi

So I made this Yoshi pillow for Yoshi. Thinking maybe he'd like to sleep on it sometime or something..

 

 

Turns out he does like it...

 

 

he likes to chew on its face!

The left eye is already hanging on for dear life.

Looks like I have to keep it away from Yoshi until I can teach him NOT to bite his namesake's face =(…

Bladder Stones? Any input?

My little Muffett has bladder stones. She has no symptoms, they were discovered when she way x-rayed after eating something she shouldn't have- a plastic thing. Anyway, she is on a diet from "prescription" called s/d. It looks like aspic, tasteless and oderless. She does eat it, she is a Corgi. I also have her on an antibiotic.

  If this does not work, they are talking surgery. Does anyone know anything about that??? I think it is pretty drastic. She is peeing just fine- I think the…

Early spay

Oona is getting spayed today. She is 13 weeks old, and 8 pounds. I will admit... I am nervous.

Then again I get nervous with every operation... so not a shocker!

 

We read the reports and studies, and the pros seem to outweigh what little cons we could find.

They say that young pups lick their stitches less, heal faster and need a smaller incision. They say that growth plate in the long bones tend to grow longer, but only by mm.

I've even read a couple…

Spring?? Is That You??

Taking a quick moment to update things for the "Stump Kids." We just came back from our first hike of the new year--it's a gorgeous mid-50 degree, sunny day, so we went out with Matt and our friends Merinda and John and Porter, their 5-year-old Cardigan Welsh Corgi (he's Dally and Mesa's best friend) to the Palisades for some hiking near the Kentucky River. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon! This, of course, was followed by a stop at Bruster's for free pup cups for the kids. (The…

Aaaack! I need help.

So my hubby got a job at John Hopkins University.  We're currently out in Woodbury, MN.  We need to find housing as close to the university (address: 615 N Wolfe St, Baltimore, MD 21205 ) as possible that allows dogs.  We are trying to find housing for $1000 or less a month.  We've seen a few places that match that description, but most have bad reviews. In…

My 4 wheel-drive is stuck in the field about 15 feet off the driveway and yes, I had to walk a mile in this to get to our other house and now have to walk back:( Since we still have high snowbanks...Sage and Hermes decided to jump over and chase critters! . We are expecting about 12 inches… Continue

TURTLES

The turtles are out today because of our wonderful 80 degree weather! (I'm so excited for summer!) and we discovered a brave one that was almost as big as Luca. 

 

She was so scared of it! Once it moved a little bit, it was game over. she ran with her (lack of) tail between her legs :P

 

Since I'm on the subject of being scared, she is also very scared of other dogs. She loves people. But other dogs scare her big time. I don't know how to handle that. Advice would…

Guess What!?!?

I'm so excited, I found out today that my new coworker has owned corgis. 

 

Unfortunately, there is a sad part of the story, her corgi passed five weeks ago at the age of 12!! :(

 

Of course you all know how over excited we both were to find out that we both have had corgis :)  I told her about this site of course, maybe over time she will eventually get a new corgi and join mycorgi.

Franklin turns 2 today!!!

My little boy turns 2 today! Its so crazy to think how quickly his puppy hood has passed! Of course I think I love him more as an adult than I did when he was a crazy little puppy! This is a big mile stone for Franklin, when he was a puppy he was incredibly accident prone and in the vets office CONSTANTLY! After his first birthday he developed some health problems that caused him to overheat and collapse whenever he played. So last year was spent running thousands of dollars in blood tests,…

Corgis and obesity?

I would like to know about the weight issues that the corgi breed has because I do not know if my dog is in good health or not. I'd like to get to know your corgi's weight to gauge mine and what the official book says on corgi's health. 

 

Ein weighs 32 lbs last time I checked and he is long for a corgi. I am just curious of everybody else's corgi.

So, as of approximately 9 am this morning, I found out that I will be moving to Baltimore, Maryland. My hubby just got a job offer.  We will be heading out there some time next month to find a place to rent, and then moving in some time after that.

 

So, does anyone know where to find corgi breeders out there? Or decent priced dog friendly rental…

California's First Dog is a Corgi named Sutter.

The new California Governor Jerry Brown brought his sister's Corgi to the Capitol.  He's been dogsitting for his sister, and Sutter, the Corgi was not really the official First Dog... until 02/14/11!  Governor's wife and he decided now that Sutter will officially be the First Dog of California!
