Happy Mother's Day to all the Corgi Mom's out there (and the conventional moms with human kids too! ;) ) ! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Hi all!  I was at Petco today and saw this product on the shelf, Thundershirt.  I glanced at it, chuckled, then kept going.  Then, while viewing training videos on youtube I saw a news story of it (so weird how that happens!)  Claims to work on dogs with anxiety.  I've seen several posts on here regarding corgi anxiety of various types and just thought I'd share in case anyone wanted to check it out!…

First, he doesn't "hate" dogs, he's just scared of them.  He's never lived in a home with a dog.

He hasn't been to my house yet - obviously.  

Even when I tell him stories of how Bear lies nose to nose with me in the morning when I'm waking up, to speed up the process so he can get food of course - he tells me that I need to not let my dogs near my face.  And how it's dangerous and that they could really bite me and do some damage.

I have never…

My Charlie is a much different puppy than my Gracie was. I am so frustrated with him. I love him so much, but I seem to spend more time yelling No or being upset with him than loving him. He is constantly barking or biting. He has plenty of chew toys but doesn't want to use them. He is always biting me, mostly my hands, feet, arms. Tonight I heard something funny in the kitchen...walked in and found him chewing on my kitchen chair. I was so angry. He destroyed it. I can't afford this and I…

After seeing all of the past and recent dog food recalls I am considering making homemade food for Chase. I have been feeding Chase Blue Buffalo Freedom, which has not been recalled recently. However, I don't think I could feed Chase kibble with confidence anymore. I have not seen where and how this food is made and I honestly believe that no one cares about Chase's health more than I do, so why shouldn't I be directly responsible for feeding him CLEAN, HEALTHY food?

I have been doing a…

Poodeck has lost two cousins he has never gotten to meet.  Tyler, a 15 year old Basenji and Chloe, a 9 year old French Mastiff.  The families are devastated!  I cry for them and try not to think that it could always strike even closer to home.  Please send out Corgi hugs and kisses to my sisters and their families.

Happy 2nd Birthday Lilly!!!  I cant believe it has been 2 years already!!

Today, Skiski, Ziggy's kitty cat brother, made his way over rainbow bridge with the help of some very nice vets.

The problems started showing themselves the day before yesterday, and we got him to the vet as soon as we could. After grabbing…

Mrs.Brown's dog is very old and unwell. The kids are trying to figure out a way to tell her that its time to put the dog down. Very funny. Click to watch. …

Edward had been limping on his left hind leg slightly after frapping one night with Gem out in our yard about 3weeks ago. He wasn't complaining about it but couldn't jump up on our bed anymore and had a toe point whenever he was at standstill eating. Thinking it would get better we were just taking it extremely easy with him, not walking as much etc. He still was chasing squirrels, birds and Gem etc. In fact hard to believe anything was wrong. Well, I took him in last Monday and after x-rays…

Gotta brag on Miles. He's 11 weeks and is being a normal pup - rambunctious, inquisitive, and clumsy. Yet, he's learning fast the rules of the household. His mouthing is almost gone. He silently 'asks' to go to the bathroom already by standing at the back door and glancing at us. I'm thinking of getting the doorbells for him. Knows 'sit, down, stay, watch me, paw' and goes potty on command. We're socializing the heck out of him now. My daughters are a great help with Miles. Husband is in…

12 MONTH OLD FEMALE CORGI AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION

Many thanks to all that have offered suggestions regarding the situation between my Corgi and my cat. Unfortunately, things have not improved. If anyone knows of someone in the South Florida area who would like to adopt a 12 month old female corgi, please contact me. I live in Delray Beach. I have had her since January. I do not have papers for her, but believe she is purebred. She is a very nice dog other than the cat situation, and…

Like I said last time, all other pups found good homes and they are pretty close to us so we are planning to have family gathering for them this summer maybe :) Hubby and I decided to keep Udon and Ramen so out family now has 4 dogs: Noodle, Ramen, Udon, and Bear. <3 I love them all. (Even tho having 4 dogs = being broke when it's time to buy dog food and treats, but IT'S TOTALLY WORTH IT, because they are the cutest things on Earth. Plus, we rather keep them than giving them out to…

It's been a long time since I've gotten a nice standing profile (stack/"show pose") type photo of Shippo. 

He's 6 years old now, and my nice expensive DSLR camera is dead. So I took like 50 photos with the crappy little Kodak EasyShare camera I've got left, and got this ONE presentable photo LOL. It was nice enough, especially with this little camera, that I…

Just came across this photo contest :) I had posted a discussion earlier but I decided this is more of a blog post. I just entered Napolean in this photo contest (to see which dog is the most photogenic) ,and I would say we have a slim chance of making it in but we'd be happy if you voted for us or just some other pup ;) Thanks so much in advance!

Not for the exercise, not for the views.

There are picnics at the top.  And when one group finishes, the next group will arrive. With more food.

It's amazing what a corgi remembers from one year to the next.  We haven't don't this trail since last summer, but he knew about a half mile from the summitt what to expect.  With great anticipation, my little dog who is content to follow by my heels strained on his leash for the final push to the top.  I only see him…
