Yoshi wants a corgi squishable to sleep with at night! =)

I'm getting sooo excited! Only three more days until I can bring Nadia home with me!

My boyfriend and I are driving there (it's 5 hours away) Saturday morning, then we're staying the night at a hotel and driving back with Nadia Sunday night. The breeder is at the Cargigan Nationals this week, so she won't be home until Sunday evening. I just couldn't wait another week, though!

I'm nervous and anxious too, though! I'm all worried that I'll mess something up, do…

When I was teaching Waffle to Wafflecopter (spin), I wanted him to spin 2 times in a row, not just one.  So, I would tell him to Wafflecopter, and he'd spin once, then I'd say "Do it again!!!" really excitedly while making the hand motion, and he'd do it. Well, with this, he learned pretty quickly to do Wafflecopter with 2 spins instead of one.  

Now I'm trying to teach him to bow.  I can't quite figure out a way to make him bow, so it's a very slow process trying to capture…

Gromit’s Great-Aunt Mistletoe, litter mate to my first Corgi pals Watson & Tinsel,  is finally gone at age 13.  Degenerative Myelopothy (DM)  won as it always…

My sweet Corgi Lucy has a white ring around her neck and breast.  When we put her city dog tag on her it turns her neck gray.  It drives me crazy because it makes her look dirty even after a bath.  I take her to the dog park a lot and she has to have this tag on for proof of shotsAny suggestion on what I might be able to do to stop this from happening.

Here it is!  Been planning on doing this for a long time.

It's a double-layer, hand-tooled martingale collar.  The inside of it is suede-lined for his comfort.  I LOVE how it turned out!  I'll be testing it for the next few…

First off, I want to thank everyone for their support and advice, it really helped to know that everyone went through the same thing. this is another long one but i hope you read it because i could still use some support! Ravioli did better yesterday after my first post and he seems like he's opening up to us a little bit. he seems to be eating normally now whenever i give him food and isn't as mopey--he seems to explore more when we're just sitting on the couch instead of laying around like…

I recieved a phone call from my dear friend Lynne over the weekend. She told me that she had taken in a foster dog and was wondering if I could come spend some time with her. I was instantly excited! She told me she was some kind of mixed breed, maybe heeler, husky, with some corgi in her. She said that some man had brought her to the Lane County Animal Shelter because she…

let me first preface this by saying that this post will be long, but i ask that you please read because i really need some support from the community. please!!!

Ravioli came home saturday evening, and he seemed pretty ok with us (my boyfriend and i). we brought him back to the apartment and he explored a lot. the breeder said he hadn't used the bathroom all day (which was from before 9am to 630pm when we got him). we took him out a couple times that night and he still never went to…

Being part of this site has only been a very short part of my dog-wanting life, but I'm very, very happy to report that a payment has been made, and contracts reviewed... Finally, after almost 20 years of waiting... I'm getting a puppy. :]

Everyone, meet "Jack"!

(Totally grabbed this photo from the breeder's fb. Haha. Hope she doesn't…

Just posted a video of Napolean's tricks. If anyone needs any ideas (Ive been seeing some people are stumped on what to teach their corgis) here are some ideas!

I'm not vet-groomer-specialist-anything.  But we did have a shaving experience with the groomer.  I said 'trim her up for summer' and I came back to find Loo cut down to her undercoat.  Freaked me out.  I must have a smart groomer because she said that cutting them down to the undercoat would allow the hair to grow back healthy.  Taking it down all the way and it would not grow back as well.  

My husband and I have had many discussions about shaving.  We asked the vet-the vet said it…

Here's some signs I made for my wife, Gail.  The center one is a caricature of Ashton!

A gift for me that is!  I want one of these pillows from Red Envelope for Mother's Day but I don't know what to put on the second line.

I want the red pillow for a place of prominence on a black leather chair in our living room. The first line will say "TWINKIE".  And I think the second line should say something about how…

Last week was my birthday, and my daughter ordered a gift for me. Check it out:

Ordinary coffee mug?

No, Corgi! Surprise!

It looks like Sid too. I'm afraid to pour…

I don't know if anyone has heard of the story about Cisco, the dog from Texas who was shot by a police by mistake, but after reading this story I felt that others who don't know about it should know.  This is the link to the story..

Article on Cisco

This is such a sad story, and I feel so sad for the owner :(

Makes me want…

We went to South Lake Tahoe last weekend with Coby and he was the happiest boy!

I think he's doing good, he is back to normal dry food and treats.

But when i try to brush his bottom teeth he gets bleeding, im not sure if it's normal or not...

so i try to do dental wipes on bottom…
