Sadie went to the vet on May 1st, at 14 weeks, and was 8lbs!! So she gained 2lbs in 3 weeks. While at the vet we noticed she had roundworms, but is off her medication now and goes back to get new test results next week. Hopefully they are all gone!! She received he fourth set of puppy shots, but since they were all given early to her, she will be given her additional puppy shot when we go for the check up.

She turns 4 months old tomorrow, time really does fly. We start puppy classes… Continue

Teething begins

Eddy's been doing a lot of whining while chewing lately... yay, teething. Also, for the past 2 weeks, he's been really good about not chewing on non-chew toys. Then, suddenly, 2 days ago, he started going crazy and chewing everrryythinngg. So we're going to start experimenting with some new chewies, freezing some kongs and nylabones and carrots for him, etc etc.

We have to leave him while we go on vacation!! I'm having separation anxiety. A whole week without little Eddybones to… Continue

Puppy Kisses are Good for the Soul (Mail Order Annie)

I just finished this book about Mail Order Annie by Howard Weinstein and loved it. I laughed, cried, thought "oh my goodness I'm not alone!", and really felt the bond the author had with Annie and how much joy and smiles she brought to everyone she met.

The author mentioned he took Annie to the annual Star Trek convention near Baltimore where he was a speaker and she was a big hit. I wonder if anyone here met Annie (80's to early 90's).....

I also read The Courageous Corgi last… Continue

An observation

The only good chew toy in the world is the one your brother has in his mouth.

Le-Le makes her debut in Country Living Magazine June 2009

Le-Le has now make her official debut in Country Living Magazine. She is on page 117 and again on 118. We photographed our house for CL and I wrote about her experience back in March. Always fun to see a corgi in print!

My heart dog

I cant believe I am once again sharing the dreadful news of the loss of another grand corgi pal in my life. My dear Kiss left me a week and a half ago. Kiss was a wonderful red and white girl who I shared my life with for the last 13 years. We did so much together, learned together, explored together and were a true team. I think Kiss taught me as much as I taught her, perhaps more.

Kiss was my partner in obedience, agility and was the demo dog for classes I taught for six years. We were… Continue

HE'S HOME!!!

We drove three hours to Labelle this morning to get the little bundle of joy. He got in the car, was awake for three minutes, and then crashed for the whole ride home. When we came home we hung with him outside for a bit before taking him in. He met most of the cats, and they aren't overly impressed; they come and investigate sometimes, but then he chases them upstairs (he can't go up there). He played basically since we got home, and just recently fell asleep on the floor (the new pics). He's… Continue

The revenge of the (little) big brother.

So during the day we leave Domino out in the living room while we're gone; closing the bathroom and bedroom doors. Well we put her food and water bowls right inside the kitchen so if she does splash or spill it's on the faux hard-wood floors and not the carpet.

Well recently we have noticed that the floor and carpet have been unusually wet next to the water bowl. Domino, being over a year old, doesn't make much of a mess anymore when it comes to eating and drinking. It turns out that… Continue

Growing up...

Baxter was nutered on Tuesday and is doing well.He has though, for some reason, forgotten everything he ever knew about house training! He is starting to look more and more grown up each day, and is now half the size of his brother. He starts Doggy Day Care next week with his brother,hopefully that will help with the house training.

Milosaurus Update

Wanted to give an update on the fuzzbutt. Milo is doing very well. His biting problem has gotten so much better. We ended up going with the walk away method. The spray bottle has also been a great help with him, as he hates it, but isn't afraid of it so he's not aggressive towards it or us.

We also started working on the NILIF training method because we felt like he was just generally running the house for a while. It has been going very well. From the time we got him we taught him… Continue

undocked corgis

The very first time I layed my eyes on a corgi, he had no tail, and it was love at first site.. I fell in love with the fluffy bunny butt.I knew at that moment... I will have a corgi one day.
I just came across a disscussion about undocked tails. I see how beautiful they're tails are. And I hear that they become a great toy for the dog too..lol... chasing it around and round.
Well regardless.. tail.. no tail... all corgis are the best.

Theres a wierd RODENT in my house!

In the older sisters room, there used to be a very small animal they called a dwarf hamster. It was REALLY smelly! But, only a few weeks ago, the dwarf hamster dissapeared after my WHOLE stay here (about 2 years) and the humans seemed really sad when the hamster left. Well, another one just moved in, they call him a "Soni" or somethnig like that. I feel real confused, Soni's look like big dwarf hamsters with orange and white stripes. The Soni was taking away all of MY attention! I am not… Continue

Things are claming down... yay!

Things seem to be working themselves out quite nicely. After a lot of thinking and soul searching I decided to switch vets. I just simply wasn't comfortable with the fact that my vet didn't even know that some medicines could be fatal to my Aussie, Sky. While I did like a lot of things about our vet, and I will miss going to him, after taking Lyla to the new vet today, I know I made the right choice.

She agreed that the medicine Sky is on is very dangerous for him and took him off of… Continue

Puppy Class

Starting puppy class on Monday!

Puppy class is going very well. Crosby stands at attention very well, sits, walks fairly well on leash, and comes when called even out of playgroup. I am struggling with the down command though. How do you get a dog that is so low to the ground to lie down?

Super Max the Protector:)

well to start off, we're all doing better:) max is better than expected, he hasn't shown any sign of depression at all, which is a relief--he was really our main concern.

so yesterday we were all out front, bbqing. max was running around with my little boy, and i was strolling the newby around. it was definitely a bittersweet moment seeing them enjoy eachother so much, without juneaux. there were a couple of neighbors walking near our house, when one of them came over to see the… Continue

Still more shots...

Jasper went to the vet for his next round of puppy shots and his rabies vaccine. He was such a good boy so he got his favorite rawhide chew when he got home! He's 15.5 lbs at 15 weeks and the vet seemed surprised at how fast he's growing. She commented that she thinks his food (Blue Buffalo) has a high calorie count but isn't really familiar with it...does anyone know if this is true? She also noticed that one of his testicles hasn't descended into the scrotal sac yet and could cause problems… Continue
