San Diego dog portraits!

Do you live near San Diego and wish you had some nice professional portraits of your corgi(s), but thought you just could not afford them?

Jeff Dillon, my teammate on Team Low Rider, is offering 1/2 hour photo session in a private studio, in exchange for a $25 donation to Team Low Rider. His studio time is this coming Wednesday 3/24.

The information he posted is listed below:

I have my studio time reserved Wednesday night -- I was thinking of asking…

Hello all - Sorry Winston and I have been so busy lately and have not had internet so we have not kept in touch with our fellow corgis and corgi-lovers. We are still living in the same apartment with Midget, the feisty little Chihuahua-Beagle mix, and they get along great. I am currently working three jobs.. Retail, restaurant, and a pet daycare/boarding service! Crazy, right?! Well hopefully we will be on here more often, I hope everyone is doing great!…

After it rains there's always a Rainbow.....

After almost six months, Darla finally went back to dog beach. I think my mom was inspired by all the comments left by you guys, (P.S. Thank you!!!!) that and the constant pleading from me. So last Thursday we took Darla back to the beach. As soon as we said, "Darla wanna go-go?" (which is what we say to Darla when she's going somewhere) her ears flew up and she was wagging her Lil' butt like there was no tomorrow. So we put her in the back seat of my car and drove off. As soon as we started… Continue

A Dog's Soul

Every dog must have a soul

somewhere deep inside

where all his hurts and grievances

are buried with his pride.

Where he decides the good and bad,

the wrong way from the right,

and where his judgment carefully

is hidden from our sight.

A dog must have a secret place

where every thought abides,

a sort of close acquaintance that

He trusts in and confides.

And when accused unjustly for Himself,

He cannot speak,

Rebuked, He finds… Continue

When all else fails....

break out the laser. lol I have been sick and feeling bad for Copper because he has been bored. I take him over to my dad's and let him play over there for a bit while I rest but he's used to us always going. So, I made him a toy out of a 1L bottle. cut some holes in it and put some treats in it. He LOVES it. I also found that him chasing the laser means that I don't have to get out of bed while I'm not feeling good and he's not bored and he gets exercise. Oh the technology we have today lol… Continue

Murphy's Law

At what point do you admit defeat? When the new puppy gets a case of Giardia that refuses to go away? How about when another dog injures his knee? Or maybe it's when the injured dog is going stir crazy from the past week of crate rest and the puppy (who has been doing fine for a month) magically comes down with horrid diarrhea again early on a Monday morning? Wherever the "defeat admitting point" is, I think I'm almost there. Dog-wise (aka budget- and sanity- wise) it has been…

Spring is here

The flowers are blooming, the bugs are buzzing and the Corgis are frapping. Murphy has been enjoying the warmth of the sun quite a bit lately and getting two walks daily. He just loves it. We've had him on the front porch with us a lot lately too and he likes that also, but i know he would prefer to have the entire yard to run. We'll be getting a fence for him either next month or in May. I'm really excited.

Last evening while we were sitting on the porch on the laptop looking for… Continue

Every day is a new day

Fleta hid her favorite "buddy" biscuit under my pillow last night. Then she slept in her own bed on the floor.This morning she did not take it downstairs, leaving it there for the day is like having her own little stash of goodies, unless she left it for ME? She hides her occasional treat everywhere in our house and in the studio. Often we find them in the most uncanny of places, yet we have no other animals. She has just learned to do her own banking!…

First Overnight Trip

We took our first overnight trip in almost 11 years this weekend and that meant the boys went on their first overnight trip also. We found a pet friendly hotel and off we went on a 5 hour road trip. They always do well in the car but I was worried (since they are both big on barking at unknown noises at home) how well they would do in a hotel. They make such an impression everywhere they go that the minute we went to walk through the lobby people wanted to pet them. They have met very few… Continue

Cloudy eye scare

Note to self: Brian= 20.5lbs @ 7 months and 1 week.

My Brian has had eye discharge and was somewhat squinting with his left eye for 3 days. The squinting would come and go. Bf said that he's fine, just give it time. So I reluctantly gave it time. But today, when I woke up, I found his left eye to be discharge-y and cloudy. I panicked, afraid that he was going blind in one eye!

So for a peace of mind, we rushed him to the vet today and… Continue

Central Florida Corgis March Playdate Photos -- Rained out!

The weather made it difficult to take pictures, but we managed some:

Despite the awful rain, we still had about 6 corgis that were able to play together before it got really bad. We ended up spending most of our time across the street from the park at Paw Park Place* (www.pawparkplace.com). They're a doggie boutique that also sells baked items, rents dog washing stations, and grooms dogs. They have a… Continue

Smelly

I saw on Dogs 101 that the boston terrier is the gassiest dog, I disagree I am pretty sure Georgie is the gassiest dog and it smells so bad sometimes we have to banish him to another room because he makes us sick. And it is not just Georgie Rosie to has an absolutely horrible smell, my friends agree that my dogs are by far smellier than theirs. Is this a corgi thing or am I feeding them the wrong food?

Today is Our Adoption Anniversary :-)

Happy Jack and I became buddies 6 years ago today and we've been fast friends since.

When I was a little girl we had a Corgi named Sammy (Samantha). My parents owned a Corgi because they were "horse people" when they were younger and fell in love with the breed. I adored the dog but she died of old age while I was still just a young child. In 2004 my mother passed and my dad had been gone since '88. I was an "orphan". I had been wanting a Corgi for a while but I traveled with…

Our first raw bone experience

I went to a butcher shop today and asked for beef knuckle bones.

Man: "Marrow bones?"

Me: "No, beef knuckle bones."

Man: "Marrow bones ARE knuckle bones"

Me: "Oh, okay... I'll take them then."

He told me they were in the freezer so I headed over to the freezer and saw two different kinds of… Continue
