Poor Puppy

Samson started limping a few days ago. I am taking him tomorrow to the vet. I sympathize with anyone who cannot cut their dog's nails. My dog's are the most loving creatures until the nail clippers come out! Anyway, I am worried about Sam. I hope everything is okay. He seems depressed too.

Wyatt got his nails cut finally.

So yesterday we took Wyatt to pampered paws in chelmsford to get his nails cut. I have been dreading this day for a while. Wyatt does not like his nails cut, and I dont blame him...have any of you ever seen that commercial for the peticure where they show the nail being cut and throbbing? Looks painful.



Anyways we tried to muzzel him and that didnt work so my boyfriend just picked him up and held him on the table and she was able to cut them all in no time at all. Wyatt is a bit of… Continue

Don't pick up the puppy!

Everyone that walks into my house sees our cute 5 month old puppy and immediatly tries to pick it up. He goes nuts. Trying to nip and furociously freaking out. I have a method for picking him up that does not bother him. We call it the "bathing suit". Placing your hands where a girl would wear a bathing suit (under the chest, Under the bottom). Is this just our corgi who freaks out or do all corgi's have a problem being picked up? I thought is was because it hurts when some big person is… Continue

Giving Thanks

Hi, everyone. I haven't blogged in so long...I feel like a bad friend. I can't access this website at work and by the time I get home, I don't want to look at a computer.



How is everyone? Life here with the Cam-ster is going well. She's been really sweet (like, when is she NOT, right?? I mean, look at that face) and she's so excited to see me when I get home, that all I want to do is play with her. This past week has been really cold in the Northeast, so we've been debating on… Continue

School Starts!

Maxs first day of obedience school starts today. I'm hoping he learns things like come, sit and stay. He's so hard-headed it may take 4 or 5 sets of classes. Wish us luck and we'll let you know how it goes.

The Trixter is sick

I had to take care of my mom and stepfather, as mom does not drive and stepdad is sick. Long story. My husband called me last night to say that Trixie had a bought of diarrhea. I thought it was just stress from me being gone pretty much all week(minus a few hours here and there) and the addition of some new food. Yes, I took the time to slowly mix it so she could acclimate...anyway, this morning I got a call from him at 0600, to tell me she just wasn't herself. She refused her food and water,… Continue

Riley necklace finally came in

I got my Riley necklace about a week ago and finally here is a photo of it. Of course it doesn't capture its true beauty but it came out great and I am more comforted to be able to look down and still see him there with me.



There are so many things I miss like the sound of his bark, feeling his soft fur, and watching him roll over and surrender to me when he did something bad, like chew my ink pen. A funny memory I remembered the other… Continue

Reese is Spayed

Just thought I'd give a little update on Reese... On November 20th, Reese was put under the knife and removed her lady-hood. I think that she's pretty darn lucky to not have to go through her monthly period. Anyhow, she's recovering pretty well. A little loopy yesterday and just sleepy today. She's now eat and drinking like normal... thank goodness. At night we put the E-Coller on her so that she doesn't mess with the stitches while we're sleeping. I don't think she gets much sleep with it on,… Continue

Brewster is a hit!!!

The residents here love Brewster. Everyday he does my rounds in the morning with me, going nursing station to station and collecting my daily info. The residents all reach for him. It is sweet to see him stop at a wheelchair and sit so they can pet his cute little head. One lady, because of her dementia, calls out. She yells help me and when I take Brewster to the hall where she is and he sits next to her, she smiles and he sits while she pets him. It is amazing the calming effect he has on… Continue

6 Months Already?!

Callie is now 6 months old! It seems like just yesterday I was taking her home from the breeders. (I brought her home July 4th!) She is now around 13 pounds and I don't think she will get much bigger. I love how small she is compared to other Corgis. My petite little girl. I have been looking at pictures from when she was younger and it is amazing how fast puppies grow!

Lately she has been crazy. She completely destroyed one of her rope toys yesterday. I was amazed, I went to school in the… Continue

Corgi Fights off Cougar, Loses life.

I saw this article and it about broke my heart.

If you don't feel like clicking, here's the scoop;

In Nevada, a four year old Corgi named Big Bear went out in the morning for a potty and to play with the neighbors dogs. Some time later he returned home gravely injured with puncture wounds around his neck. They estimate he dragged himself an eighth of a mile home after, presumably, escaping a mountain… Continue

20 weeks - my kisser, magnet & alarm clock + new corgi designs

My little Gibson is 20 weeks old now, and finally done w/his puppy vaccinations! Yay! Our vet appointment was last night, and he did so well. The last time we went (5 weeks ago), he was such a little jerk! He kept biting the vet. She had to bring in a 'handler' to give him his shots..and then that weekend he bit my mother-in-law when she was picking him up! It must have been a short phase though.. Since then we've passed obedience and he's been socialized a bit more.. This visit he was a sweet… Continue

Got our 7 week pictures today

Ein turned 7 weeks old yesterday, and our breeder sent us some photos today. Every week, she gets more and more adorable. Her ears are standing up now, and she's starting to turn a lovely orange color. We still have 16 days until she comes to live with us, and I don't know if I can wait that long!

Ein's morning routine

So every morning, Ein rolls around on the carpet, making cute, silly growlie noises. I finally caught a video of him doing that:

I wonder if other corgis do this as well?

DogConomy

I was reading the news feeds today, the information junky that I am and I came across an article saying that pets are feeling the economic pinch too.

I can certainly relate, I had to postpone my cat getting her tooth extracted because things were getting a little hard pressed. When it comes between my mom getting a root canal and the cat getting a tooth yanked out, mom wins, hands down, and that's unfortunate.

The article said that people were missing appointments, not filling… Continue

Neuter Time!

Saxon goes to the vet on December 2 to get neutered. While he is under, if she deems it necessary, the vet will x-ray his right front leg. He has been limping for a few weeks now and I would like to get it looked at. Feel like a worried mom. I will sure be glad when this is over.

Top 5 reasons Obama should get a corgi

5. Face it, there's not a 100 percent allergy-free furry animal in the world.

4. The multi-colors of a Corgi are representative of our own melting pot/salad bowl nation.

3. They can help "herd" members of Congress into the same direction.

2. To further diplomatic relations with Great Britain, particularly the Queen of England.



And the number 1 reason why President-elect Obama should get a corgi:



1. How awesome would it be watch a corgi frap around the White… Continue

Corgis are the Best Barn Dogs Ever

I took both corgis to the barn last night to watch my friends ride. Having been to many horse shows, Molly is pretty good at just sitting and watching, but this would be the Tig's first time as a bystander. I was worried that he would be disruptive or try to lunge at the horses as they trotted by. It was cold and uncomfortable but I put their cozy fleece blankets on them. The dogs sat calmy and watched the horses go round in circles for three hours. No one squeaked or barked once. When the… Continue
