Supplements for Corgis

As an equestrian, I've learned that adding supplements to good care and nutrition can be very beneficial to my horse's health and wellbeing. I believe this is true for my corgis as well. I feed my corgis high quality food: Tigger gets Blue Buffalo lamb and rice. Molly gets Science Diet C/D to keep her UTI's under control. I also feed the corgis healthy snacks such as carrots and green beans and crandberries. About 1x a week, I add Omega 3 fatty acid supplement to to support their skin coat and… Continue

Bad News: Limping puppy diagnosis

After 3 months and several vets we finally have an answer for Baron's limping, and the news is not good. Even though I'm a nurse I'm still confused. Apparently the growth plate closed too early at Baron's right shoulder. He has a gap where part of it is supposed to close over the joint. The humerus is longer than the ulna and has started to bow outward. According to the vet there is nothing we can do except watch for the early arthritis to set in and give him rimadyl when he is having a bad… Continue

The Story of how I got Ceri

Hey my name is Giselle and I'm from the Netherlands. Ceri is my purebred corgi boy of 9 months. Because corgi's aren't that popular in my country, and kennels like to keep it that way, you find seldom a corgi in a shelter. Perhaps thats a good thing.

So as some of you have noticed my little boy still has his tail. People aren't allowed to bob them, and it's a bit over the top to breed them just so they naturally won't have them. I mean, it's about the general health and character of the… Continue

Need some help

So, Odins tantrums haven't been getting any better. I have tried many of the things people have recommended to me and none are working. Sometimes it's because he doesn't get his way that he acts a certain way. But just by pikcing him up or touching him when he doesn't want to be he starts to growl and nit. Now he has been honestly trying to inflict pain. He will bite as hard as he can and wont let go of my hand. I'm not sure if this is just the breed but out of all the different dogs I have had… Continue

I wonder if this is what being a mom feels like.

I've gotta leave my babies for a whole week and just realized I wrote 2 pages worth of doggy directions for the sitter =x I'm also afraid that while I'm gone I'm gonna end up calling like once a night to check on them but unlike the overbearing mother, I can't expect my babies to talk back on the phone. It's amazing how many offers you get from friends and family when looking for a puppy (in my case, puppies) sitter but NO ONE is ever willing to watch a cat. Even a giant docile lovable one like… Continue

Getting So Big

Well Miss Piper is now six months old. She is beautiful and full of energy. She continues to makes us laugh on a daily basis. She has a great personality and has actually breathed life back into our 12 year old lab. We love and adore her. Her favorite thing to do is run laps through our house and it doesnt take much to get her going like a half full water bottle or turning the page of a newspaper or slapping the fly swatter on the floor and off she goes as fast as her little legs can carry her… Continue

Big Ears!

Last week during one of our walks, a neighbor stopped us and said Tigger had the biggest ears on a dog he'd ever seen. The are pretty long and perky, but maybe they just look big in relationship to his short legs. HAHA!

Happy 1st Homecoming Anniversary, Maddie!

It's hard to believe, but Maddie came to live with us one year ago this weekend. Happy first anniversary, sweetie. She's our sweet, cuddly, fun-loving girl. We could not ask for a better dog. She's the first one waiting by the door for us when we come home from work. She shimmies her whole backside when we get up in the morning. She's great at the vet, tries so hard in her training classes, and is an absolute joy to be around.

And she's pretty darned cute, too!

Corgi Walk in the Pearl District

We just returned from the corgi walk in the Pearl District and I wanted to post some photos of it. There was a great turn out and Noodles enjoyed getting to meet many new friends. The youngest corgi there (as far as I know) was a 10 week old and she was absolutely precious. Please enjoy the photos

Saturday Morning Sleeping in with two Corgis!

I get up early 4:00am on weekdays and so on the weekend I look forward to sleeping in a little. This is how my Saturday morning went today… Sally heard me tossing around at 3:30 or so and decided she wanted out of the bedroom to lie in bathroom on the floor where the ac vent is cool. I get up and open the door and go back to lie down. Then remember I should be sure that the board with…

"Aw, is that a beagle corgi mix?" NO!

Does anyone else with tricolor corgis get this question ALL the time?? I don't know why it ticks me off so much, I have nothing against beagles, it just really annoys me. People think that Orion (red headed tri) is a beagle corgi mix and they have no idea what Laika (black headed tri) is. Especially at the dog park! I guess it annoys me because its not like I go around asking if dapple dachshunds or blue merle shelties are mixed with australian shepherds. I don't own dachshunds or shelties but… Continue

Coyote attacks on Casey: 0; Dog attacks on Casey: 1

To all you coyote naysayer’s out there, it seems that the ole "residential nylon leash walking is much safer than extendable leash walking in a ravine" axiom has been disproved today. Why? Because on a nice suburban walk around our nice residential neigbourhood with nothing but concrete sidewalks, single family houses and manicured lawns, my dog was attacked.…

$30 Wasted?

There's a wonderful off-leash ravine hiking trail about a 10 minute drive from my house. The last two times we were there, we spotted Coyotes. The first time I saw one, he was quite a ways in the distance, just milling about minding his own business. The second time, we were nearing the end of our walk and he (or she) was watching myself and Casey quite intently from about 15 feet away up a little side path from…
