While on our walk today, Teddy and I discovered a new park that the city of Sammamish is working on. It's right on Lake Sammamish, off the Lake Sammamish Trail and has great little pathways that run along side of the shore. They left most of the natural state so we were climbing up and down, weaving our way through trees and mud and boom, there would be the lake with…

Today is Franklin's 4th birthday!!! Wow we have come a long way together! He is the best companion in the entire world and I couldn't ask for a better best friend! For his birthday he got some new rawhides, a new squeaker toy (which he thinks is the best thing in the WHOLE world), and will be getting a special dinner and some new Kong tennis balls! I have to work today but tomorrow we plan to celebrate in style if the weather holds. We did a fun birthday romp on the river yesterday for a few…

we're not a valentine's day household, cuz UGH...but the local pet shop had a furry friends valentine's contest type thing and MACHETE WON! well, he was one of 30 lucky pets to get a prize, and today we went out in the snow to a.) get him used to car rides b.) get him used to the place he'll be taking puppy kindergarten and c.) pick up the swag!

since we were…

I want to donate money for Goro, and I see that his PayPal account is up and running from other posts (siro_wan@yahoo.co.jp). I've never done PayPal before and I don't know how! I thought would just click on this link, which is posted several places, and it would take me to a site where I could make a donation via a credit card. That's not what happens. First it opens my Windows Live email and then creates a message with Sirowan's email), but that's all I see. I was going to make a nice…

Melissa and Franklin started a discussion on safety months ago after Franklin broke a tooth.  I commented then that I have had bones that were mostly cartilage and seemed safer to me.  I take the bones away from the dogs when they have finished the joint part and throw away the actual bone part as that is what I think causes breaks.  I am including pictures of 3 old bones in various states of destruction and a picture of 2 brand new ones so that you can see what they look like.  I believe…

For everyone who can't get enough of a cute Corgi, I have a blog devoted to my little girl. Check it out! Tons of pictures showing all of Devyn's wild, crazy, hilarious, cute, sleepy (and more!) sides.

Valentine's Day is Ein's birthday! Happy 4th

birthday to our little shortcake. We love you!!…

Hope everyone's day is going well :) Anyone got big plans?

For Valentine's Day, the Corgidog got a Pig Ear....Today, upon seeing one up close in the light, I realized that "Pig Ear" wasn't just a name for a weird treat.. It was a pig's ear! I…

Before I got Ellie, I did a lot of research on owning corgis.  One thing I read repeatedly was that you shouldn’t bathe corgis very often.  Most people suggested every couple months.  Have these people ever lived with a corgi?  Dirt might fall out of the coat when it dries, but it still stains white fur, and corgis are as stinky as every other dog out there.

I have a very sensitive nose, so I prepared in advance before bringing Ellie home.  The air fresheners are working overtime, I…

Monday started Machete's first days alone in the house without either of us — safely crated, with his water bowl accessible & the puppy cam focused right on his little face — and he did SO WELL!!

Seriously, best little pup ever! He didn't mess his crate, he totally amused himself or stayed napping, and when I came to visit him on my lunch breaks he went potty very quickly and was happy to play.  He's done great on the housebreaking so far, though I can tell he's getting a bit of…

I am starting to get my life together, there is just one thing left to do, get a steady job and apartment. As soon as I get that cleared, I'm going to finally get my corgi if I can find him. To finally get my life together and hopefully be financially stable will mean I can support a dog in my life. I keep dreaming of corgi puppies so I think this might be my year. Will be…

Bento managed to get past the baby gate at the bottom of the stairs and got to the second floor and the second bedroom where we were hiding a stash of Patrick Roger's dark chocolate from Belgium.  

He devoured a pound of the chocolate before we caught him red handed, or chocolate pawed.

After trying to induce vomit, it didn't work, we took him to the emergency room where he's spending the night even as I type.

Bento has never slept anywhere but at…

Any thoughts on this are welcome. Currently have 2 Cardi's that are VERY close.What is your take on a 3rd? Would it break up the 2 dynamic?"

I knew this day was coming. It was a year ago today, Feb. 9, 2012, that our beloved Morgan “Stinky Wink” went to the Rainbow Bridge. I could never, in a million years, have imagined the pain I would feel as I held him in my arms while he took that last deep breath. My only comfort from that moment is in knowing that HE knew that I was holding him, and that he heard me whisper “I love you, Stinky Wink” in his ear, that one last time. That was the culmination of almost twelve years of…

If any of you watch corgis on YouTube you may have seen a most precious red and white Pembroke named Goro who lives in Japan. He even has his own channel, Goro@Welsh corgi. His owner is Sirowan. I guarantee he will charm you and break your heart. Sirowan has been posting videos of Goro since he was a puppy, and he is now 7 years old. Now he has some serious, but fixable, health…

I don't remember our previous Corgi ever having a cold... but I have found out dogs do get them!  

Last Sunday evening Bogart clearly wasn't himself. Instead of being right under foot in the kitchen he stayed in his bed while dinner was being prepared.  His nose was warm and I took his temp - first time - with a special digital thermometer I got at PetSmart. He didn't fuss about the temperature taking (in the behind) and it was 100.2,…
