Wynstan's Birthday

Wynstan had his first birthday weekend, and it was great aside from a few outside problems.

I figured we should have a good weekend, and it was cool enough to camp.
He enjoyed his fist camping trip and even went for a swim in the lake.

I only wish I had a picture of the weekend, but I didn't bring electronics with me.

Congats to Ann and her lovely Corgi, Joy, for going BOB at the National Specialty

I finally was able to find some results for the National Specialty, and Ann's beautiful bitch Joy (Ch Kestrel Leftbank Rejoice) went Best of Breed and was the week's big winner.

For those who followed our search for a second Corgi, Ann was the owner of Becky, the adult we considered getting before we picked out Maddie. Becky is a very sweet girl, but she was too laid-back for our house, and Becky happens to be Joy's dam. We met Joy that day, but I have no pictures because… Continue

My dog is SO smart

I was waiting for supper to finish cooking last night, so I plopped down on the floor in the kitchen to wait out the oven (we have no kitchen table in our kitchen, only out in the dining room - so no chairs). Casey was laying in her usual spot at the edge of the kitchen (I have a very strict "no dog in kitchen while cooking" rule since I almost dropped a pot of boiling water on her and myself a while back when she decided to…

FURMINATOR

Does anyone knows about this FURMINATOR brush?

We just came back from Petsmart and they were brushing a Golden...never saw so many fur coming out from one dog!!!

If it's that good, I'm thinking about having one for Lily and Jimmy.

Corgi is my co-pilot.

Lazy co-pilots...but pilots nonetheless!

Molly is always on the pink, Tigger is always on the blue. Heehee!

Must-see agility video!

For all you agility folks, and people who just love animals, what a great video this is (and only 3 minutes).

I think Jack is faster, but the competitor in the video definitely has better focus than my guy! Haha.

Not sure which I like more, the tire or the… Continue

Socks, Bark Off and Animals Make Us Human by Temple Grandin

We made our first Emergency Vet Visit this week. My neighbor came over to relax and chat and slipped off her shoes and socks. Bear has always loved socks, but usually he just wants to play tug of war with them. He grabbed hers and as I went to him to tell him "Drop It" which we learned forever ago and works, he looked me square in the eye and swallowed it. It was one of those thin footie sock things. So $133 later, he vomited it right up for them and we came…

Shedding?

I have been brushing mass amounts of fur out of Odie recently... is it that time of year? I had heard about Corgi's "blowing coat" twice a year... is anyone else's Corgi doing the same right now?

I am using a rubber brush called the Zoom Groom, and it seems to work very well, but are there better brushes out there?

One month after surgery

So it's a little over a month after Callie had a softball sized benign tumor removed from her intestine and she has made a wonderful recovery. She's back to her old self again... well besides one thing. She begs for food now. Before the surgery she would rarely beg for food, in fact I'd usually have to remind her to eat. Now it will be an hour or so before I feed her and she looks up at where I keep her food and at her dish. And she does this all the time. It's not a bad thing, at least she… Continue
