Daisy had a 2nd surgery today

Dear Weeders

Today was an unhappy day here. Daisy's doctor called yesterday to see how she was doing and asked Momma if Daisy's eye had started tearing when she ate as it should be doing. Since there wasn't much and since there were other signs that Daisy needed to be looked at to be sure she was doing ok, Momma drove her down to Greensboro this morning.

The doctor found that there was a leak in the repositioned salivary duct. So Daisy had to have surgery to fix that… Continue

Corgis Go To School

Back in May, we took the pack to Gilles Sweet Elementary School and visited a few classrooms to teach the kids more about the Corgi and how to care for them and their puppies. Of course the dogs were a hit and were exceptionally well behaved. Teachers and staff were a little nervous at first when kids started to bombard the dogs after each discussion and question and answers but soon learned that the Corgi thrived on the kids and couldn't get enough of their affection. It was a fun, successful… Continue

S-DAY FOR MORNA

Well, today Morna is at the vet's getting spayed. I feel like a nervous mom all over again! It feels odd to just drop her off and then come home and wait until someone calls... I'm used to sitting waiting for news just as soon as it's available from the surgeon, or whatever, when one of my human kids has any kind of procedure done! I don't like this sitting at home, even though I know that a/ there is nothing I can do even if I stayed at the vet's office; b/they will call with news about how… Continue

Puppies are here!

Well, Wynter had her puppies on Tuesday...but unfortunately, the majority of the litter apparently needed a few more days. Five out of seven puppies were stillborn. But enough sad...Wynter is doing just fine and we have two of the cutest little boys you ever saw! They are almost identical and we have to look close to tell them apart. They will both be red and whites or sables (they're too tiny to tell right now) and they have awesome markings. They both have very symmertical white all around… Continue

I survived my first camping trip!

Thursday morning mom started packing some of my stuff. I started getting worried that we were moving again since we've done it a few times already in the last year so I huddled against her and pouted till she petted me and reassured me. I knew something was really up when Auntie Sarah came and we loaded up in the car.

It was a nice hour and a half of wagging my tongue at the world out the window.

When we arrived at this place it was full of round little houses and all my… Continue

Sable or Red?

I'm trying to figure out if Beni is a light sable, or just a red and white. (The breeder thought he'd be sable). He does have intermittent black hairs (maybe 1 out of 200) in his coat, as well as black hairs dotting the back of his ears. But, he doesn't have any of the obvious signs of being sable, like the monk's cap, or a dark patch on his rear. Can anyone offer me some insight? I've got tons of pictures of him here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/t3r354/sets/72157616344770093/

Yay!

Well, Miso has been home for a little under two weeks now! She's a great little puppy! Everyone loves her, and what's even better, she loves everyone (even the vet...for now! We'll see what she thinks of him after she goes in for her shots the week after next)! Potty training and crate training is going well, she hasn't had nearly as many accidents as I expected!

She's a very sweet little puppy. Spoiled rotten already, though! We have one heck of a time getting her to eat out of a… Continue

Attached At the Hip

So Optimus is just over 6 months old now. So far he's been a great puppy (with a few minor exceptions), but the one thing that stands out most is his desire to be around me and Hilliary. If one of us gets up and walks into another room, he follows. If we move from the couch to our desks, he follows. He even has the habit of getting under your feet, so you practically fall trying not to step on him. He's such an affectionate little guy, we love him so much :)… Continue

Joshua Update

I realized that I haven't posted here much recently, so it seems to be time for an update on my baby, Joshua!

Two months ago I got laid off from my job. The bright side of this otherwise not-so-bright situation was that I'd have lots of time to be with Joshua this spring. I had plans for lots of play time, lots of walks, and lots of trips to his favorite local dog park.

Unfortunately a week later during one of our visits to the park, Joshua slipped while jumping over a big… Continue

Genetic Research on Tameness

Source: Live Science

Apparently, scientists are beginning to identify gene regions that effect tameness, or an animal's willingness to tolerate and seek out human contact.

I wonder if this research could be used to help correct some breeds that have had some aggression bred into them. If you can identify tameness through genetic markers, than can genetic markers help you find out which will tolerate… Continue

Jack has a lump on his belly

I just noticed a penny sized lump on the right side of Jack's stomach. It's under the skin, and it seems like it hurts him when it's touched.

We're going to take him to the vet hopefully tomorrow and let them look at it.

Does anyone have any idea what this could be? My grandmother has jumped to conclusions already and is afraid it could be cancer. I just would like to put her at ease.

Thanks!
