Lance the Corgi Doing Tricks

My favorite part is when Lance puts his right paw over his left one and then the left one over the right one in response to the command "Pose".   You can't hear his trainer say "pose" in this video but I've watched him other videos.

It's been a while since I could write some more about Delia. As expected, between work, graduating school and having a brand new puppy to attend to, writing an update wasn't a priority. Delia is doing great. She has settled in nicely and progressively has more energy every day. When we are outside with the other dogs, it's fun to watch her study everyone before she tries to herd them. She's great in the car. She sits in her basket quietly from start to stop and has been all over the state…

I haven't been online much lately for multiple reasons, so I thought I'd just pop in and make a brief post. We have two houses on our property now, one of which does not have Internet (which is the main reason I have not been online much), but it is a cozy little cabin and we have been staying there a lot. I just have to say how proud I am of our two furbabies when it comes to their flexibility. We have been spending almost all of our days at the cabin and we split the nights up between the…

There is a lot going on with Ziggy lately. I regrettably stopped doing a Happy Month Mark post for Ziggy since Skittles passed away.. It just hasn't felt right on the eighth anymore to celebrate, it leaves a hole in my heart to even acknowledge the day, but I know that Skittles wouldn't want me to put anything on hold, not even something so small. He had no concept of time, and it wasn't the…

Chloe chases the cat Kudos.  I am so tired of it.  She mounts the cat.  Kudos the cat does not have front claws.  The "leave it" command is sometimes helpful, but at times not.  Does anyone have recommendations on how to deal with this?  

So on Saturday we went to the Bark in the Park and Lilly and Her family, and Ein entered the costume contest.  We got a second place!!!  We had them as cowboys, cowgirls and even had a couple of cows!  Took photos and got alot of comments on the pack of Corgis...we had 6 there!  The min pins were the cows...and they did a great job.  The only bought costumes were the cows....we made everything else!  We had such a good time!

Today there was a beer festival in our town. It is kinda on the small side, only filling up a few parking lots, but fun and conveniently located. We brought Kaylee with us and she was wonderful.She allowed dozens of people to pet her without a problem at all and met a few other friendly dogs as well. She did pull some in the excitement, which we need to work on, but mostly she just acted like a happy puppy surrounded by probably good distracting things.

Many people asked what…

I woke up this morning too......

SNOW!!!!! Here is my house in the snow! Blowing snow and fog!!! Blackie and Me live in the bottom part of this house (the one with the green top).

Here's Blackie in the snow. I couldn't  get a shot of her rolling…

A couple of weeks ago, we made a trip out to huntington dog beach with the dogs to commemorate the end of finals! Billy and I took the corgis out with their golden retriever best friend and their parents. We had such a fun time, we were not expecting it to be so nice (: lots of dogs frapping out, running into the waves, catching balls, it was AWESOME! unfortunately, emi and helix did not enjoy the water too much, but occasionally would wonder out to follow their golden retriever best friend.…

I read this and thought it would be an interesting project.  

I CAN BARELY CONTAIN MYSELF! (not really trying to, either!!)

updated message from our breeder:

Tucker and I have really been practicing the weave poles lately. In agility, weave poles are usually the hardest for a dog to learn, and there are several different methods for teaching it. We used the "weave-o-matic" method where the poles are like this:

The dog is trained to run down the center. Gradually the poles are adjusted until they are standing…

 Hi everyone! Even though I'm a new member of this site I've actually been reading alot of the blogs lately haha, totally don't know why I didn't think of signing up.



I'm new to the corgi society but I'm a die hard fan of them ! 

I've always wanted a corgi for the longest time and now I think is the right timing to finally make one of these precious dogs mine :)



Cheego (the cutie…

After a long game of inside fetch Blackie retired to the couch....

Watching TV and chilling....

Do dogs even watch TV, I am pretty sure she's doing it!

Today we went for a walk on the giant beach in front of my house.

We rolled in the funny seaweed.

We posed pretty

We got all muddy…

Lolly walked this past Friday with her boyfriend on pavement and up and down steps for around 45 minutes.  Its been so hot here this summer that she has not gotten much exercise.  Only maybe 30 minutes of walking on the grass.  She is 11 months old.  Later that night she started limping on her right back leg when she first stands up.  Once she is up and walking the leg does not bother her at all and she walks normally.  Since I am leaving town for two weeks on Thursday, I took her to the Vet…
