Sick again

Today after getting back from class (I was gone maybe 3 hours) I noticed Callie was acting strange, she was trembling. I thought maybe she had to go potty so I let her outside. She did her business like normal, but just kept trembling. She then didn't even want to walk back to the building. So I picked her up and started walking her across the parking lot back to the building and she throws up. After that she started to perk up some, but within the next 30 minutes was back to shaking. She laid… Continue

:D Love my Little Corgi Girl <3 <3

So i haven't updated anything on my Kyrie in a while. She is about 9lbs now, knows a couple new tricks. Like Die, touch, down and sit :D. I am finding it a bit hard to train her because she isnt one for treats, so this is a first for me to be training with a toy reward versus food reward. but its getting better. :D she is wonderful, still a bit nippy when it comes to playing. but she is a pup & we are breaking her of that. But the Most wonderful thing i can say is that Kyrie & my son… Continue

water bowl dilema

Much to my dismay, KC has begun having issues with her water bowl. The first bowl was a big plastic container, but she ate that. She ate the second one too. So lately I've been using a large glass bowl, but she's decided that makes a much better swimming pool than a drinking bowl. I've caught her so many times sticking her paw in the water and splashing around! Fun for her, annoying for me to clean up (okay, it's adorable!). My husband just came inside from mowing the yard and she had managed… Continue

Becoming Runners & Emergency Recall Worked!

I have started a Couch to 5k running program and I am brining Tucker along with me! I have never been much of a runner but I am determined to succeed at this and start running a few times a week. It is a 9 week program which gradually builds you up to running 5K. We live right near Valley Forge National Park with lots of great paved trails so we have been going there. I figure if Tucker starts the program with me he will build up his endurance along with me and will be a great running partner.… Continue

PUPPY FOOD TO SMALL & In charge

Romeo is 6 month and eats Buffalo puppy food. Sometimes he chokes on his food if i give him 1 or 2 for treat. ALSO i think he eats his food WAY to fast. I give him a lil more than a half a cup for breakfast and a lil more than half a cup for dinner. but hes done before you know it. What should i do?!?!?

*************** Also Romeo thinks hes in charge of me. He walks infront of me, and bites me when i put him on my bed or when i use the computer. --__-- sigh what should i… Continue

More Agility

September 25 through September 27 we attended the GSLAC (Greater St. Louis Agility Club) Agility trial in Glen Carbon, IL. This was Dudley's first full trial at his regular jump height. Before I'd always entered him in Preferred which has him jumping at 8". This time he was going to be jumping 12". There is a lot more competition in the 12" group so there wasn't going to be any "first by default" this weekend!

We've recently changed our game when it comes to agility. I felt like… Continue

Competition UPDATE!

OK, I know I posted this a few days ago, but I thought Miranda lost all of her competitions. Well she actually won. A HUGE trophy. She won "Best Sport". She was very nice to this Beagle who was having trouble in front of the judges. We gave him our cookies and he was extremely motivated after that. She was also so damn cute, so it is awesome. I think it funny, she doesn't always look like a cardi, but she sure acts like one. She is loyal and sweet and an absolute comedian.

"She might… Continue

What a wonderful day!

I had a great walk this morning with Tuesday! I'm not sure who enjoys our early morning walks more, me or her. Actually that's a lie. Seeing as how I rarely roll around in the dirt to pick up an exceptional smell, and I hardly ever get to sniff strange dogs rear ends anymore, I think she enjoys them a tad more :)

The point is I massively love our 7:30 AM walks. Right now it's Fall in Canada, and as our Fall only last 2 - 4 weeks, we need to make the most of it. I've never had a dog… Continue

Puppy Conundrum!

I've been looking into getting another puppy in the distant future (2-5 yrs). This time I wanted a show quality Aussie that I could show and hopefully use for breeding eventually. After looking through several breeders, I contacted one in New Mexico and got a chance to talk to her today. While on the phone she said she had the perfect puppy for what I wanted. She hasn't sold her yet because if I don't take her, she is going to keep her and breed her when she's old enough. I looked at her… Continue

Water Corgis!

Does your Corgi love the water?

Jack has always loved the water. He is thrilled to splash into any stream or puddle he can find. However, he won't go in past here:

He knows how to swim but is reluctant to do so. Our own mistake, because despite the fact that we socialized him to all manner of things, we never took him somewhere where we could wade in the water with him and encourage him to swim. Admittedly, such places are… Continue

Morgan won first place in the puppy class!

Update: Miranda won a prize after we left the competition for Best Sportsmanship. She got a big trophy and a certificate. We are so PROUD! I new she was a winner. She might not have the breed standard to a T, but she is all heart. And all corgi owners know that is their biggest attribute!

I have figured out how to post pictures on here. This is Morgan and Miranda after the big competition. Morgan won cutest puppy and walked away with some fabulous prizes. Miranda did not win any… Continue

Shedding/grooming tips

My Domino is getting her winter coat so her under-layer, or whatever it is called, of fur is getting really thick. Due to this I have a lot of little grey and white hairs all over everything in my house! I brush her almost every other day and she still sheds like crazy! Any recommendations on what type of brush I should use to get more fuzz off of her at once and into the trash instead of on my clothes?

Injection Reaction

Mischa had to go to the vet today, third or fourth visit I think, for a shot. She was perfectly fine while we were in the office, but the minute we got home she started drooling like crazy. Grandma called the vet back to ask if it was normal, and they told us to come right back. So, we did. And as soon as we got into the parking lot, Mischa hurled doggy kibble all over the towel I was holding her with. She got a second shot, a pill and we were sent on our way. She's been a little off all day,… Continue

Chloe's arrival!

Thirty more minutes till Chloe sets foot... err paws in New Jersey. Can't wait! I'll update this post with pictures and stuff!

Stay Tuned! :D

edit:

Chloe didn't land yet. :( It's raining here and that's probably why the flight is delayed. The person behind the counter said she will land 9:30 but wond be available till 10:00. The waiting sucks.
