I want to start off by saying what a wonderful wealth of information this little site is! My boyfriend and I will be getting our first dog ever this July! She'll be a little 10-week old Pembroke red and white girl. We are beyond excited.

I've already been pouring over as much information as possible, hoping to train our puppy into a sweet polite little lady. I've grown up with misbehaving, yappy miniature schnauzers my whole life... so I'm looking forward to doing things right…

emi is getting along much better with the cats now ^^ we've had her for almost a month, and she and bugs are like two peas in a pod while the other two cats tolerate her now ! (:

among all the other things, im glad this was one thing that we were able to figure out, makes my life a little less stressful ^^…

Here it is only the end of May and we are in the hot days of summer--at least here in Central Illinois. And I'm not the only one that thinks that; two baby Corgis agree! It's amazing that when the weather is moderate, it is almost impossible to get the boys to come inside. With this blazing hot weather, it's difficult to get them to go OUT. To further complicate things, Taffy has fallen victim to what I call OBS (Obstinate Bowel Syndrome)! There are just TOO many things to do outside that…

I feel guilty at times at how normal life seems now, even though it's only been about two months since Murphy passed away. He was my best friend and my heart dog, and although he's gone, I truly feel that because I loved him so FULLY when he was here, and because he knew how strong my love was for him, that he will always be with me, watching over me, and snuggling up to my heart when times get tough.

Maya has been growing up a lot in the last couple months. We've left her out…

Today is Camden's first birthday, and I can definitely say that even with his quirks (he ate one of my textbooks), he is the best decision I have ever made. He's such a sweet little boy.

So, we're off for some play time at the park, and he's gonna get some new tennis balls and a special dinner tonight. Bye!

My dear little Brodie meant it when he showed up saying he would work for food. He has definitely been earning his keep lately around here. He has been flushing out the armadillos at dawn and dusk lately quite regularly. Yesterday, however, he had a banner day! We were out walking late in the evening, just before dusk, when he spotted a rattlesnake in our yard! Bless his little heart, he knew it was not just an average every day snake, because he treated it quite different than he does most…

 good idea,, i am wondering if it will work to stop Remy from wanting to take chase to cats,, everything goes out the window, when the next door dog takes off after a cat, most of the time he is on his leash ,, but when we are playing fetch that is when it happens ,,, going to remember this when i go to the store

I apologize that I have not posted more often. Two little guys can keep an old man running! We're finally sleeping all night. We were getting up about 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Now we're getting up about 6-6:30 a.m. At first they were getting used to their new home. Then we went to the vet and they got worm medicine, which contributed to the frequent cries to get out of the crate in the middle of the night. But they didn't mess their beds. Unbelievable!

It's amazing to see their…

Hi, it's been 2 months since I got Cola and I've been having problems with his potty training. He usually goes to bathroom 5 times a day and I've been using potty pads since I go to college during the day and have to keep him in his pen half of the day. The problem is he's been peeing on the potty pads most of the times but he also doesn't pee on it once or twice everyday. This is kind of pissing me off because a few weeks earlier there had not been as many accidents as it has been recently.…

Lucy turned 9 months old yesterday! I can't believe how grown up she's getting. She really is turning into quite the lady. She's still wild and crazy, but not as much as when she was a little puppy. She is so smart. Last week she learned "wave bye-bye" which is the cutest thing ever! She's an absolute delight and I can't wait to see what the future brings with her in my life.…

  • potty training has been going REALLYYYY good!! the last time i updated about potty training was when we were having troubles switching her from 2.5 hours to 3 hours between potty breaks! i think at one time, we took her out…

Saw this on MSNBC.

Three top brands of chicken jerky treats were among those most recently cited by pet owners and veterinarians in complaints of harm, FDA records obtained by msnbc.com showed. They included Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch brands produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co., and Milo’s Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced by the Del Monte Corp.

I am certain the Queen already is enjoying a set!

My sister was to pick up her puppy today, but OMG all 9 puppies died in a house fire in Indiana Friday night.  The whole story is so sad, and the kids are so sad.  I wish I had some words, but there are none that come to mind.  Gee-wizz

Im getting that feeling i got almost 4 years ago... it was what started with me wanting to get Ace.. i refer to it as puppy blues.. and part of me thinks its because I miss buffy and i miss the fact of there being 2! Dogs in the house.. not to mention i feel bad for Ace being left at home with no one to play with while im at School.. I cant take him with me to School with me right now for his safety's sake.. Chemistry Lab and Biology labs... I know they make safety goggles for dogs.. buuut…

since we got emi, we noticed that aggression with unfamiliar people seemed to be a problem. first night we got home, she was barking at her reflection, my cats, and barking back to the neighbors' (seemingly neglected) dogs. when outside for potty breaks, she would bark at all the cars that drove past as well as people and dogs! 

the barking problem is no longer an issue, but we have definitely noticed she was unfriendly towards other dogs! we knew that socialization was very…

originally, 5 months ago, i was terribly interested in getting our first dog! billy and i already have 3 cats, so we thought we wouldnt be able to handle a puppy at this time while we are both in school still, and decided to wait until we were out of college. unfortunately, i could not contain myself and somehow talked him into getting our first corgi! 

i searched FOREVER trying to look for a breeder, to look for a corgi, to look for the newest member of our family! i looked around…
