Hi Friends - I need leash advice.

George is great on the leash, but he does have a tendency to chew them and even after making him stop, his nylon leashes (double thickness too!) eventually get frayed and it's off to PetSmart we go for another $11.99 leash.

Bottom line: unless George plans on getting a job or winning the lottery, it's gotta stop.

We've discovered a wonderful solution : a simple 4 foot chain-link leash with nylon handle. He's happy as a clam on it and no more chewing.

Here's my… Continue

Diarrhea - nightmare for me, no problem for my corgi

Our little guy (finally decided - his name is Risa, pronounced like Reesha in our language) is having this problem for four days now. I switched to rice+chicken on Monday, but it doesn't seem to help. Today I found something looking like rice in his little non-solid poo. I'm not sure if it is really the rice I'm feeding him, or if these are the eggs of some worm. We're going to the vet today, hope he will help.

Interesting thing is, that I seem to be the only one to worry about the… Continue

Help with rude owners?

What do you do about dogs off leash at public parks? I take Lucy to our son's baseball games and many others bring their pets too - on leash. One family always lets their big dog off to run loose, hits it when it misbehaves, etc. This dog is scary to Lucy, won't leave her alone, and I would like to relax a bit and watch my son play in peace.

I also was at another park last week and there was a big dog loose without any owners in sight. I picked Lucy up because it was turning ugly,… Continue

Harness question-breaking hairs

Hi everyone

i was wondering if anyone knew of harnesses that fit corgis and doesnt break their hairs. I have recently been concerned by the amount of hair that has been broken by scout's harness. we usually just leave it on him because we take him out so frequently but you can see the harness lines when he isnt wearing it.

St. Pete meetup

I want to go so, so bad to the meet. I want to get out and meet new people, be around corgis, and have fun but there is a problem. I can't drive. T_T My mom works at night, and sleeps during the day. I have no friends, and on top of it all Ryan, my boyfriend, doesn't have a license.

I put that I might go, but it doesn't look possible to me now. I want to ask my mom if she could take me, but she is so stressed that I don't want to add another thing to her worries. Is there anyone who… Continue

First Month!!

Wow-- hard to believe it's been a full month since we got Blaze!

We are LOVING him... no regrets whatsoever getting this little pooch.

He seems to be housebroken already! He knows to either jump up and down in my line of sight or come up and BARK in my face and I will get the hint and take him outside. When he does that-- he pees/poos right away! He is one smart litle bugger.

No other approach has worked for us with stopping his nipping/biting except... *drum… Continue

How long is too long?

Hi everyone! I have another question for you...

I recently got a job that requires hours in the evening. Also, I have recentely broken up with my boyfriend and am now moving to a new apartment. My question is, how long can I leave Daisy in her crate while I'm gone? I do believe that she would be in from 2:15-7:45. Is this too long? She will be 6 months in a week. Any input, suggestions, or personal experiences would be helpful! I do think the landlord will be open to a pet walker, if… Continue

Lady found a home

Lady was found wandering as a stray in Ramona, CA about a year ago. A family took her in, cared for her, and searched for her owner to no avail. About 6 months ago, she injured her eye on a cactus plant and ended up losing it. She has adjusted well and now exits the doggy door at 97 mph instead of 100 mph. The vet places her age at between 2 and 3 years old.

She is very people-friendly, and behaves well with a 19-mo old grandchild. There have been no issues with the 7 other dogs at the… Continue

Not All Herding Dogs Are The Same...............

After the death of my trusted Sheltie (Tigger) I tried unsuccessfully to find a "replacement". Then I saw "Joey" on a rescue site. He was labeled "Sheltie" but after several emails I found that the rescue group had mis-identified Joey as a Sheltie!!! Nonetheless I thought he was cute, darling, perfect. The description sounded too good to be true.

According to the foster Mom Joey spent the first 5 years of his life with a family that did not abuse him but neglected him. Their medical… Continue

Target marketing bulls-eyes a Corgi

I often buy rope bones for my pups at Target because they're only $0.99. I recently noticed that my local store has revamped their dog supplies aisle, with bins of toys ranging from $1 (can't beat those rope bones) to $9.99-ish. I was super thrilled to see that the dog featured on the toy bin marketing is a beautiful tri-color Cardigan! Love it.
