His health is getting better & better everyday & acting like a corgi more & more evryday. Bentley hates the out cat. He all out wants to rip him apart its very scary. He does… Continue

Snap Pea Shells

Hey Everyone. At work we usually have raw vegie treats every day, it's the season for snap peas. We've been givin Archie the long shells that the peas are in. Then I thought about it, are they OK for him, and does someone have a list or a link for things we shouldn't feed them. Chocolate is obvious, but aside from that? THANKS KRISTIN

How old to spay?

I have a 16 week old puppy named Olive. Our vet said that we could have her spayed any time after she is 5 months old. I was talking to Olive's breeder yesterday and she recommended that we wait until she is at least 8-9 months old. The breeder said that would allow her body to fill out and mature. She said that Corgis that are spayed too early tend to be longer legged and racier. She also said that Corgis generally don't go into heat until 9-12 months of age. What do you all think?? This is my… Continue

He is my best boy.

I'll start this by saying I really don't like bugs. I'm OK with the bug about to be discussed, by they are a little too similar to my nemesis, the cockroach.

So, here's the deal.

Reagan loves to eat june bugs.

He loves to chase them, scratch them, smash them, roll in them, chomp them out of the air, and EAT them. Sitting outside with me while I'm raining is like a feast to him. He loves them best alive, when they cling to his muzzle, because then he gets to fling them into the air… Continue

Cane's Owie

Took Cane to the Vet today and this was the result....

Poor Guy. We were playing ball with him on Sunday evening and he came up lame and wouldn't put his foot down. Intially thought he just stepped on something but couldn't find anything stuck in his pad, so then figured he just strained something which he has done in the past and is better in couple of days. But this was a little…

Now I know why I don't go to the park in the mornings! Long, angry RANT!

Because it's full of crazies I guess! Oregon has the leash law, but at this park I have been going to for well over a year, everyone seems to always have their dogs off leash, even outside of the designated dog park. No one has ever admonished me for it, and I've never heard of anyone being yelled at for it at this particular park. Even when Eddy was a puppy and still jumped up on people, no one cared as they encountered us on walks. Anyways, it was boring in the dog park so we went out on…

Allergies?

I'm not sure what's up with poor KC, but every time after she eats, she licks her paws like crazy and her eyes get red. We have her on a nice kibble that is free of chicken and corn and all that other weird by-product stuff, but she's still licking her mittens. She burps a lot too after eating, but I think that's just because she has bad manners. Any suggestions? (For the itchiness, not the burping.)

New PUP!!!

Adora may be getting a brother AGAIN! got an email that Adora's other brother is being rehomed as his owner is moving and can't take him. So we go out Sunday morning to meet him and hopefully bring Max home. Hopefully this time nothing tragic will happen before we have a chance to get out there like poor little Jack (R.IP).

CATS!!

Today is Archies 6th day with us, and everything couldn't be going any better. He's getting along great with my first pooch, Caleb, and has adjusted very well, especially being 1 1/2, and having such a big life change. My only concern is that he's so sensitive and mellow, that if my cats even look his way he runs and hides in a corner. He'll chase, FRAP, run and play with the dog, but is deathly afraid of the cats. none of them have done anything to him except try to sniff him from a distance,… Continue

Cinnamon getting fixed today

I just dropped off the baby to get spayed. She's almost 10 months old...I waited too long...bad me. She weighs 20.7 pounds. Nutty who is almost 1 yr 10 months old weighs 28.7 pounds. Yikes! Looks like I may be switching to a less calorie dog food. They get plenty of excercise, and Nutty doesn't look thick. Cinny had no idea what she was in for, and went lovingly with the vet down the hall. She will hate me now, just like Nutty did. I hope they dont put that damn cone on her, cuz she's not… Continue

Happy Corgi

My 16 year old son was on an exchange student trip to Germany. He was gone 3 1/2 weeks, and last night he came home. I was surprised, SIdney was so happy to see him again! He yapped and yodeled and jumped up on my son. Then, even though it was late, he frapped around the living room, amid all the choas of family, suitcases and bags. He hadn't frapped since the boy left, and Sidney was expressing pure joy. I loved it!

A Post for those that think that crates are cruel...

I used to be one of those people, but I pushed through my feelings and crate trained both of my dogs.

This is a sight that often makes me smile.

puppy exposed to dog with ringworm?? advice please!

Hello!

My lil Ollie is 3 months old (yesterday) and 2 weeks shy of his last puppy shots. This morning, our neighbor's dog (who Ollie has played with a couple of times in the last day or 2) was diagnosed with Ringworm -- HOLY MOLY. As a protective mommy, I'm seeking advice on what I should do??

He's already had his deworming and seems in wonderful health. I checked him all over and didn't find a sign of anything and will bathe him tomorrow and…

Cuts on the neck

Well, we haven't had to worry about a corgi with cuts of any kind for at least 4 years! Lucky has been crippled, and when we rescued Sonny a year ago, he just kinda stayed under the desk for a couple of months and then right with us. Well...he discovered the large rocks on the South side of the front yard a couple months ago and likes to climb them, and he climbs around all over the place now. Today we discover blood on his neck, doessn't appear to be a puncture wound or to have come from…
