New job

I've been employed now for a month and Murphy has been doing wonderful by himself for the three hours that I'm gone. I'm glad that I only work as little as I do. Its been really great making a little money and still have the time to run errands, do things around the house, have dinner ready or at least started by the time Chris gets home and of course play with Murphy and take him for a walk. Its been so convenient and Chris likes it too even though I'm not making much, every little bit…

It's great to see so many Corgi lovers. Unfortunately...

I'm excited that there is a site for people who loves Corgis as much as I do. I was hoping to get Cody in at a meet-up sometime in the future. The only problem is, although I'm told Corgis are never supposed to be aggressive, mine is. He even has aggressive tendencies towards our other dogs. I don't know how to fix his aggressive behavior and I can't bring him anywhere until he can handle being around other dogs. Any suggestions?

One Month with Luna

My little girl has a new nickname, or three = Luny/Loony, Luny/Loony Tunes, Luny Tuny. She got the first one from me when I was simply trying to call her in from my mom's backyard and couldn't see the little brat - and out came Luny. My mom's the one who started calling her Luny Tuny - it's cute. She is crazy, so it fits.

Anyway, it's been one month now with Luna. She is now 12 weeks old! I… Continue

Santa Paws is coming!

Something exciting is happening. Even though Mum had a cold; she and Daddy were hustling and bustling – going out the back door, then coming in. Sometimes they asked me to go into my crate (and gave me delicious bits of treat for the effort); sometimes not. When I could, I waited by the back door and they always called me good puppy when they came back in again to find me lying quietly on the kitchen rug.

Friday, Mum climbed up high, hanging pine boughs from the tops of the…

Rimadyl

MaGuire, at 14, has started having back leg problems. He was put on 37.5 mgs (1/2 pill) of Rimadyl twice a day.

Ellie is not talking to us at the moment!!!

At 12 weeks we thought it was time for Ellie to wear her name tag on her collar. I had written her name and contact details on her collar with permanent marker up until now.

Ellie is having a bit of a sulk and trying to manipulate us in to taking the tag off.. Quite cute to see her trying to wrap us around her little white…

Sidney's FHO journey at three months, with video

Sidney had FHO surgery for hip dysplasia three months ago. The vet said he'd be good to play at the dog park after three months, so today we met up with some corgi friends at San Elijo Hills dog park. I'd taken him to the dog park before today, but kept him from full-out running and playing.

Sidney is the corgi with the tail, and his surgery was on his left hind leg. The fur has grown back pretty well and he's not limping anymore. Could you even tell he'd had…

LED light for your dog's collar

Hi I live part time in the city and part time in the country. At the house in the country there is a lot of brush and mesquite bushes and trees. The house is on about 1.5 acres. Only a small area is fenced in. I have four dogs and they love the freedom to be out and to wander. My corgi Zeppelin has developed an attitude about coming back as soon as I call him. I just got him a LED collar light which clips right onto his collar. There are several different positions the lights can be in. They… Continue

GO NERDS!!!!!!!

My best friends' little sister was teased today for liking to read...They even formed a group of all the girls to make a 'I Hate Angela Club'! She came home crying and refuses to read anymore. This-I believe, is one of the saddest things that can happen to anyone at a young age, having what makes you special ripped away from you. So In Angela's honor, I made this photoshoot of Darla as a tribute to all the amazing nerds out there! GO KNOWLEDGE!!!!!!!

Finally found something Jack is afraid of: Santa!

Ah, well, everybody's got to be afraid of something.

As many of you know, Jack is my stubborn and bossy, brave and loyal three-and-a-half year old Pem. He's a bold little guy, and from the time he was a puppy he would run barking towards anything that might be alarming. Quick to be on guard, he'll bark and growl fiercely at the door if anyone dares walk by the house in the middle of the night.

He's a therapy dog and he's everybody's friend. Everybody's, that is, except for… Continue

Kali's Adventures

First of all, thanks for all the advice on the crate issue! Kali is doing much better settling down at night - the trick seemed to be leaving her in there and not letting her out - no matter how much I wanted to and giving her a kong with a treat in it. Kali graduated from basic obedience class last week w/flying colors! We still have one ear that flops so still taping. She will be six months on Sunday and still has one baby tooth on the side where her ear flops. Any suggestions as to when I… Continue

Happy for the Cold!

Not sure if anyone else's corgi has this issue but Monty has just blown his winter coat thanks to a nice warm fall. In Northern Virginia we had a few days of cold weather that excited the fuzz butt to no end and his beautiful coat came in nicely. Then it went away and the humans enjoyed a nice 3 week spell of 60 and 70 degree weather. Unfortunately this is too warm for Monty's winter coat and he has been shedding it all over the house for the past week. He is back to his trim Spring self just… Continue

Your Corgi way to say that loves you !

How is your Corgi's personality?

My Lily is sweet , but definitely does't like hugs .She is bossy and sometimes is hard to have her coming to me when I call her.

Is this the Corgi's way to say that loves us, or just a teenager behavior?
