Strange Little Hormonal Girl

So I am very happy to report she has stopped using the potty in her crate and the jumbo crate she gets to stay in should I have to take Milo to work with me. Freya's crate is a little more manageable for me to carry than the huge one we got for Milo. But in some way, mine is better constructed than Milo's.

Since having to quarantine Freya, which I loathe and wish the vet would let me spay her right when I asked...we have had some improvements. I know about when she needs to go to the… Continue

Randy's first frap

Randy is doing his first frap today..so cool. Leo is showing him the ropes and they are going like crazy. The boys are getting along so well, I am so pleased. The size difference is still a bit of a problem as Leo is just so much heavier than Randy. Randy gets kind of mad when Leo plays with him and he acts like a badger..snarling and growling. Leo does not get mad which is a very good thing, he is even good when Randy is badger-like and biting his cheek (Randy's favorite place to attack his… Continue

Dragster is now two-years old!

Dragster had a party last friday for his birthday!! He loved it sooo much. We went to our local dog park and he played with his dog friends and made new friends. I made pupcakes which i got from Rachel Ray. They turned out great and all the dogs loved them. I made them with yogurt instead of sugar because i know sugar can be bad for dogs and plus drag has such stomach problems i figured it would help keep it settled. I posted videos of some of the party! my baby is growing up!!

HOT in AZ

Hello all,
Yes its hot in AZ. Walkies are very early or very late. Gwenie likes to sit on her patio and I call her in she just minds the heat at 95 or better. I give her loads of water and she gets ice cubes anytime she wants. She barks at the fridge for them!!! Have a cool summer.

What do you think of this little girl?

The previous owner that gave up this Corgi said she was a purebred (Pembroke) and her coloring was acceptable. It doesn't matter as we just love her and she isn't going anywhere, but I'm just curious what other Corgi people think of our Alice? She has all the Corgi mannerisms and really strong herding instincts. She weighs about 30 pounds and has pretty course hair but blows like any other Corgi I've seen. Don't know really what else to tell you about… Continue

What do people say about your corgi?

Of course our corgis get sooo much attention. But some of it is unwanted. 2 women were at PetSmart together, one of them said, not surprisingly, "OOOhh soooo cuuutteee those ears awww!"

And her friend asks, "Is that a corgi?"

"Yep!" I replied proudly, as Eddy is showcasing his ears and wiggling his butt and being cute.

And she shot back, "Huh. Never seen one as a puppy. It's cute now but I think they're fugly when they're older." GASP.

Has anyone said… Continue

The boys love playing with her.....

Major Cuteness

Olive is such a good girl. She's all grown into herself now and still adorable. We're experiencing major shedding, as I'm sure you all are this time of year. I've brushed most of it out by now but my bedroom carpet is dark blue and her hair clings to it like no other. So we're trying to train her to sleep in a doggy bed I found. We couldn't get her to stay in it... so unbeknownst to me, my mom took a tiny drop of my shampoo last night and rubbed it into the blanket just to give it a tiny smell… Continue

Visted Grandma and Grandpa - Taz's first overnight visit from home.

Well it is hard to believe since we have had him since Christmas but this weekend was the first time Taz has went on an overnighter anywhere and the first time he has been to my parents. Anyway, we went to Washougal for the weekend and took all three dogs with us (when we went out of town for Easter weekend we left the boy dogs home and they dug out of the yard and luckily my neighbor lady got them back into the yard) so this time everybody got to go. They all actually did really well, KC… Continue

eeets my biiiiirftday....

It's been a long time since I've been on.

Zephyr is oneandahalf ish. She's doing well. She apparently has a reaccuring ear infection that the vet thinks is caused by some kinda irritation due to spring. I don't blame the puppy, I'm irritated by spring too.

She's getting much better about riding in the car. She was very scared at first and kinda just cowered in her seat or on my lap. (She's very big now to be doing that, 21 pounds last vet visit). But now that we've been… Continue

Jack in the Box "Mini Sirloin Burgers" - Corgi Remix

I'm sure many of you have seen Jack in the Box's "mini sirloin burgers" commercial on TV:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ut0WDb-xzks

We totally think a corgi would've been perfect for the commercial instead of a border collie or schnauzer, but that's our opinion. Anyways, we re-wrote the words of the song to incorporate our favorite breed. Hope you like it!!

Way out in Wales (echo)

There's a story told (echo)

About a bunch of doggies

First Walk

Lyla went on her first walk today! I loaded up both of the dogs and went down to the Riverwalk for an evening stroll. I will definitely have to invest in a double leash so those two don't get so hopelessly tangled, but other than that it was great. We walked close to 2 miles and poor Lyla was so tired! On the way home she fell asleep in the car. Big brother Sky, however, was sitting up looking at me like "that was a nice warm-up mom, what's next?" =)

Better news than previously, and a funny thing happened at Petco the other day.

the depression has faded a bit, although my stresses lie in other areas that I will not go into here.

Maui is growing so much! First vet visit she was at 5lbs, and a few weeks later she is at 8lbs, before I know it, she will be at 11-12lbs! Takes up over half her crate now. Finding out she likes tennis balls so I will need to get her some. Learning some of the basics like sit, and down, and I guess instead of "Come" we will use the Danish word which sounds like "come sa", so says my… Continue
