Doesn't Anyone Care About What Their Dogs Eat? Holy Cow...

It's pretty well known that I can get pretty fired up about canine nutrition. I will admit perhaps too fired up, but tha's what happens when you've dedicated about 30 hours a week for the past year researching the commercial pet food industry, contacting manufacturers, discussing business practices. That's my story. Canine nutrition is a hobby for me, as well as my job. I take it serious as my dogs are my absolute life and if anything were to happen to them, I couldn't live with myself unless i… Continue

Crazy dog these days / this dog day care: weird or not?

Eddy has been acting like a crazy dog for the past couple weeks. He is definately going through some phase. Very rambunctious, vocal and disorderly. I have been smothering him with affection, and spoiling him with trips to his friends' houses. I think it's working. He has mastered "roll over" and is almost done with "shake". What should I teach him next? He doesn't like to "beg" or "stand" or "dance"; he's really bad at maneuvering on just his back legs.

I walked down to a dog… Continue

Great dog!

Each day Le-Le does something so cute or funny that my husband and I have to just smile or comment about how wonderful she is. We feel lucky that she is in our family. We get so many comments when we travel about how wonderful corgis are. I have to always explain she is a cardigan and a bit different from a Pembroke. She is a great traveler though she still does not like strangers too much. She does get used to the rhythm of travel, does her business quickly, likes her walks, behaves in the… Continue

Thanks Ly!

Tonight I did something unforgivable, something that no nice, respectable pet owner would ever do... I brought a hula hoop into the living room! I know, I know, I'm horrible.

The way Lyla acted you would have thought I was getting ready to put her in the garbage disposal. I wasn't even asking her to get near it and already she was hiding behind the couch. Sky was having fun jumping in and out of it so I started coaxing Lyla toward it. She walked up to it in her "I'm the 'scaredest'… Continue

peeing on the floor

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why KC is suddenly peeing on the carpet? It's not a lot of pee, just a little puddle, and I know we take her outside to potty frequently enough. She's done it 3 times so far (twice at my husband's grandma's house and once just now at our house) but we never see her do it. We've had her since August 15th, and these 3 accidents have happened since this last weekend. (She's 2 years old FYI.) I think she knows she did something bad, because when my husband… Continue

2 weeks of cuteness!

We've had our Yumi now for a little over 2 weeks and she is the most awesome little dog ever! She has become COMPLETELY attached to me and follows me everywhere I go. She loves all the rest of her family too, but she's a huge momma's girl! ^^ She stands up on her hind legs sometimes and gives me a "kiss" on my cheek, just one small lick as she reaches my cheek and then drops back down wiggling that nub. It's so adorable, I hope she never grows out of it! And wow, if only every dog was so easily… Continue

Tucker and Greta are making progress

Tucker seems to be warming up to his new sister, Greta. This weekend they survived a 5 hour road trip together and not once did the "snarly face" make an appearance. They are still jealous of the other getting any sort of one-on-one attention. If one is being petted the other will come and shoulder bump the other out of the way. This weekend they played "walrus" several times a day. I wish I had the video camera ready when Tucker started to push Greta around in a circle while she was laying on… Continue

Bear is one tuff Dog!

Hi to all,

Once again Bear shows no sign of being poisoned. This time the antidote was started 15 minutes after blood showed signs of poisoning. We put cameras up after the last poisoning but they were only on the house portion of our lot. The lot is an acre. This last time they put the poison on the back 1/2 acre over the back fence. Now we have camera everywhere. I don't think our prisons have as good of security as we have now. Hopefully this protects the babies until we get the house… Continue

Guilty Pleasure Purchases

My husband let me spend some money recently on fun items, and when I ended up looking at my choices, 5 out of the 6 things were corgi related ;P So I wanted to share some of the cute things I found in case anyone else is interested!

I ordered a bunch of straps, etc from strapworks.com so I could make some harnesses for Pooka.

They also make custom collars:

I also got a… Continue

Shedding

We have had our beautiful corgi mix for two months and we wonder how we managed without her! It has been so hot and she is shedding heavily which I understand is normal. No problem...she is worth the extra vacuum cleaner bags! I am concerned though that she is shedding too much. Her formerly gorgeous tail is very scraggly...is this normal? She is a rescue dog...she was spayed just a week before we brought her home. She seems happy and otherwise healthy...

Agility

Sky is going to start Agility classes this week! I am so excited and I know he would be too if he understood. Has anyone ever done agility before? Any stories or suggestions?

Recap: The last 6 weeks with Dobey, now 17wks old

Is my puppy 17 weeks old already?!?

Thinking back, it seems like we brought Dobey home just last weekend, but it feels like a lifetime ago! I can't believe I have such a wonderful and amazing puppy to call my own!

We've had quite a few hurdles to overcome since bring Dobey home. So, let's recap the last +6 weeks...

Jason and I bought a condo back in January that was under construction until June. During that time, we were assured over and over that the sun deck… Continue

Cancer

I am very scared for Algy. This summer he had a tumor on his spleen that ruptured and caused major and massive interal bleeding. He had emergency surgery to have his spleen removed and when the tissue was out they found that he had low grade lymphoma. The vet was sure that they got all of the infected tissue and that his recovery would be fine. Well, he is still doing well and his bloodwork is OK, although he is showing some signs of mild anemia. The problem is that his lymph nodes are swollen… Continue

Dax, Doggy Problem Solver

Dax and Pixel have loved each other from the moment they met. Pixel was so tiny and Dax so big, but she was so gentle and loving, and I never had a moment's fear that she would harm him.

Pixel loves to play with Dax and when he was a puppy he would jump on her, chew on her big droopy lips, pull the hair out of her tail, and be an all around nuisance. Dax never once reprimanded him and never once even barked at him to go away. She did have her ways of coping, though, and really… Continue

Corgi sighting!

I was just browsing on AnimalPlanet.com and was looking at the It's Me or The Dog site when I saw this quiz. I clicked on it and what do I see! An adorable tri on a surfboard! LOL and at the end of the quiz the same tri was in a boat. Sooo cute!

Your friend, Misty, just requested that we send you this link on AnimalPlanet.com:

Herding

We took Spencer herding yesterday. He had an instinct test and he passed with flying colors. It was amazing to see him take to herding so easily. Instantly he was moving the herd, bringing stray sheep back, bringing the sheep to us, he had so much fun.
