The Games Doggies Play

I am feeling better today.

I thought I'd write about the games Bernie and Basil like to play in the house. They play a few different games and I've found it interesting to watch them and study their body language.

The most popular game is ring around the recliners (tag). Bernie is always "it". Basil likes to run in circles around the two recliners in the middle of the living room and wait for Bernie to "come get him". Bernie is smart and will cut him off any chance she can… Continue

Dog Theft On The Rise

A pretty scary article was posted on the Corgilove Live Journal Community.

So as she is getting put in her little time out spot I sneak in a hug and an "I love… Continue

Life with Gibson: 13 weeks old

Gibson is officially 3 months old today! He has had an exciting few days.

This weekend, I took him home to my parents (my parent's house has always been known as "Disneyland" to other kids and dogs because of their big back yard, pool, lots of fun toys my dad would make, etc., and it's surrounded by woods) to play and meet some new people. I took him to a party down the street at a neighbor's house, and he got to play with a huge american bulldog and some kids. There was a little 3… Continue

Awesome Agility School Night

We did a standard course with 21 obstacles. There were not too many changes of direction so that was nice. The first dog up did it perfectly. She would probably have placed at a trial and definitely gotten a Q.

After another dog went it was our turn. Bernie did the opening great - it even involved a teeter which she was scared of doing last week. We finished the course all at once - I stopped about twice to treat her for extra good turns and such. She wasn't too happy with the rear… Continue
