Does anyone feed ZiwiPeak? I feed Wellness puppy now, and Hank does great on it, but ZiwiPeak just seems like a better food. My only concern is the high protein content... I know corgis are prone to weight again. Any advice is appreciated!

Today for the 1st time is Oscar's 10 years & 9 months I noticed a look of frustration in his eyes!. He looked at me as if to say dad I'm not a puppy anymore! I'm near on 77 next Jan 4th!. He has always been a puppy in my eyes from the day I brought him home from the breeder he has changed my life I think for the better!. I thinks the roles have changed now it was if I was having a bad day this wet snout was always there licking his dads hand as if to say don't worry dad it will be okay.…

This week begins the three week countdown in bringing Weston bear home. The nerves are starting to set in ... Will I be able to handle a new puppy? Will I be able to raise the best puppy possible in a loving and caring home? I can see why people think of their furbabies as their own small children, the joys, the struggles, the unrelenting fear that man I might screw this up. I guess it's just a reflection on who I am and what I know my type A personality to be like in wanting everything to go… Continue

Well, It's been a long summer. 

We waited 2 weeks after the nosebleed before attempting Winston's pre-op blood work again. 

The results were not good. He was anemic. Anemic to the point of considering a transfusion. His BUN was down to 56 from 78 which was some improvement. However, he was now needing Tramadol twice a day, Rimadyl once a day & an essential oil mix for pain…

I've been letting Ellie sleep outside of her crate for about two months, and she's been doing great.  She wakes me up way too early (5am), but no accidents or anything in the night.  Well, that all changed last week when my mom came to stay with us.

Ellie has never shared the apartment with anyone but me. I expected her to be upset that someone was in our "den", even if she loves that person to death. And she does adore my mom.  But I was shocked when she pooped in my bedroom on…

This morning Lilly threw up, but then she ate breakfast and seemed to be fine.  Hubby called me this evening that she wouldn't eat dinner and won't even take her favorite nums.  So for right now I'm just hopeing it's a tummy thing and all will be well tomorrow.  Otherwise we will be going to the vet instead of the corgi meet up.  She's resting quietly and will go outside to do her business.... thanks in advance for any words of advice.

This is something new...an event called Barn Hunt and it's sponsored by the AKC and open to all breeds and mixed breeds...it even earns a title.  With corgis and their constant looking for something to get into/find this might be fun for anyone looking for something new and fun to do with your buddy.

Hope this doesn't continue...lost 2 cats due to rat poison which we NEVER use and the closest neighbor is about 3 miles away. This included my baby cat KK that found us...this also happened about 20 miles from here and we think someone is trying to poison coyotes and maybe something ate it and wandered onto the property and died. The one was an outside shed cat and until KK got sick and we took him to the vet we had NO idea.

Cougar sighting are rare around here BUT 2…

Good morning all,

Sydney Australia has had the warmest Winter on record! and this means tick season has started early and vets are warning us to be vigilant and on guard with our pets in high tick areas!!!. Paul and I check Oscar & Sam on a daily basis and we have changed their frontline plus to advantix  for both boys!. It seems because Oscar is lower to the ground he seems to be more of a target than Sam??? so we do it fortnightly rather than monthly now!. We have a tick and…
