Looking for some advice....

I need a little help with my baby. I'll give you the story of how it started...

Last year around this time Lola turned 1 year old and she was a happy healthy puppy. One morning I took her out in the yard to do her business and she came in and began coughing. It wasn't really a normal cough and it sounded like something was stuck in her throat. I immediately took her to the vet and he listened to her lungs and said she was clear and sounded normal. He said to bring her back if it happened… Continue

Saxan has a new home!

Well we brought him home today. So far so good except my cat Sophie is freaking out. She has big hair all over her body and she howls. Going to watch her carefully till she gets used to him. He's a sweetie.

Big Day Tomorrow + First Vet Appointment

Tomorrow is the big day! We get to pick up Bear (aka Kuma). We've been preparing ourselves for this day for nearly three months now and have been preparing our newly-moved into apartment for two weeks. It feels like there's still so much to do before our flight takes off at 6:55 from Sacramento International. We land in Ontario International (Southern Cali) around 8:30, will rent a car, drive to PetSmart, pick up a crate, cover the back seats with trash bags, sheets & towels (in case of… Continue

My slippers!

It was unusually cold this morning :( so when I woke up I put on my warmer "winter" slippers, which I haven't worn for a couple of months, since before we got Penny. She is obsessed with them! They have a lambswool cuff on them and that's the part she loves, but I almost crushed her several times because she was attached to my feet. She wasn't actually biting my feet, just the cuff, but I think I am going to have to make the slippers go away because she no longer bites anyone's feet and I don't… Continue

"I can see it's a MIRACLE!"

Hello everyone, its ME little Banzai. Guess what. My eyes opened recently! Yay! I can't see much now, everything is still a blur. But for some reason I kept seeing these bright flashes for a while.

I'm about as photogenic as my human mom. I can't help it! I didn't know… Continue

D.E.N.T.I.S.T.

Sadie didn't know what that meant, but right now... she does. At least she has her favorite froggie squeaky toy with her to keep her company during the ordeal.

She's at the Vet. It's just a routine dental, but she needs to be put under because there is no way she would sit still to have this done while awake. We're getting her micro-chipped at the same time. I know I shouldn't be worried... and the date is just the date... but Mercury is still doing it's retrograde boogie and Sadie… Continue

Two Weeks with Fern

Tomorrow will mark our first two weeks with our new rescue girl, Fern. She has really turned into a sweet little dog and fits in quite well. She is coming out of her shell. Fergie, our little girl that just turned one has decided that Fern is a terrific playmate and they wrestle on our walks. Water is Ferns weakness. She loves to FRAP through mud puddles. We have plenty of those since it seems to storm everyday. She comes home a muddy, but very happy… Continue

Back Home

After a hard night Kassie's back from the vet's and her surgery went well. Had to pick her up by myself, which was hard cuz I hate anything doctor related. Guess I think the Vet might want to update me on my shots too. The doctor tried to show me her stitches, but I had to tell her to put the dog down cuz I had to drive home, and I didn't know if they had smelling salts in the office. (Brit you know what I mean). It was fun. Kassie still hasn't eaten much, and I have to keep an eye on her… Continue

Bringing puppy home!

Well, I get my corgi on Friday. He'll be 9 weeks old, couldn't wait any longer. I'll have 2 1/2 days to play with him and try to get him used to a new home. I have the crate, nice pad in it which I will take out so he won't pee on it and put it in when he is older. Have the gate, toys, treats, etc. Hope I have thought of everything. Anything else anyone else can think of that might ease the transition from doggy mommy to human mommy.

Bingley & Lizzy have a new cousin!

After several years of corgi-envy, my husband and I finally got one of our own! I've been a member of MyCorgi.com since last October, so some of the old-timers may remember me from a few months back. Since we were in a temporary apartment situation, we were waiting to get our puppy. In the meantime, I was showing off the other family corgis - my parents' dogs, Bingley and Lizzy, and my in-laws' puppy, Dylan. If you have the MyCorgi.com calendar,… Continue

Corgi tattoo? Opinions wanted.

I've been contemplating the idea for a couple days. I think that my next tattoo will be a little corgi silhouette on my ankle. I love my dog and I don't think I ever want to own any other kind of dog and this would be a permanent proof of my corgi-love.

I understand that tattoos are permanent. I have one already so I know they hurt, lol. I just wonder what people think.

So, what do you think? A nice little corgi silhouette, with or without "real dogs don't have tails".

Lily is home from the vet

Lily is home with us now. She had a rough day at the vet's though. Sadly there were a lot of pet emergencies so they had to delay her surgery a few hours. Lily is really out of it with the pain meds and is sleeping right now. They told me to try some water, which she drank. Unfortunately she threw up all the water and a lot of bile too, so I am keeping a close eye on her. She weighed in at 13 pounds, so I am really pleased with that. I am so glad that she is home where I can take care of her.… Continue

Griffey's first two weeks

Well it's been two weeks since Griffey has come home to live with me and its been one of the most memorable times of my life. He is such a character, especially for such a young dog. Everybody has just fallen for the little guy already. My two roommates absolutely adore him and everyone who comes in contact with him instantly want to get their own corgi. He definitely is a lady killer.I never realized how much of a secret the Corgi breed is. I get asked at least 2-3 times a day what type of dog… Continue

It's just TOO hot!!!!!!!!!

I'm sorry, I know it seems like I'm always complaining, but it is SO hot here in New York. We're having a heat wave, and Mom and Dad don't have air conditioning, so I'm really hot. Mom furminated me, and that helped, but mostly I just want to lay around. My cooling bandana from last year died, so Mom ordered me a new one, but it won't be here for a few days. Oh, I am so hot....

Solid poop, good news

Risa is making me happy with his at last solid poops. His stool has been normal for 2 days now and I plan to start adding his old food to the recent chicken+rice diet tomorrow. His ears are still down, but he's not losing weight anymore. Today, we made a trip on a leash to the nearby castle and we really enjoyed it. Hopefully, Risa will be OK now.

Lily is being spayed.....

Lily is being spayed today. My husband just took her to the vet. She stayed inside last night since she could not eat or drink. We gave her a bath last night and let me tell you, that was an experience! She was not happy at all, but she did not struggle too bad. The collar we have for her is causing some redness so I am looking for another collar today while she is at the vet. She slept wonderfully last night. She did not make a sound at all until my husband got up and she saw him. I think the… Continue
