Clue is pregnant!

I'm so excited I can barely stand it. This is my first litter in four years and I have a LOT of shopping to do!

Clue is Ch. Pecan Valley A Blue Clue, but she's more often known as my best buddy and the leader of the dog household. We bred her via chilled semen (flown in from Arkansas) to a gorgeous black boy named Ch. Pecan Valley Draco. Draco's kids are not only lovely - his daughter won the 2008 Nationals Sweepstakes (a puppy competition held in conjunction with the CWCCA National… Continue

We walked!

Today we walked two blocks! Nutmeg is amazing on the leash. It took some time, but she got it faster than Cinnamon has. I thought that Cinny would mimick Nutty, but noooo! Cinny has fought the leash big time! I tried the same tact with Cinny that I did with Nutty....harness to get used to it. A trainer told me that I had to get Nutty on the "choke" collar, and I was in tears the first time. It did work. I thought Cinny would just follow us, and didn't want to do it, but I had reached my end… Continue

For MyCorgi Friends with Multiple Dogs, A question...

A lot of times when Goldy wants to play and Bear doesn't, she'll lay on the floor next to him, often on her back or side, rolling back and forth. Is this something that can be traced back to packs of dogs? Everytime she does it, I watch her - she's so calm and subdued, not sleeping, just lying there next to him and watching him.

Do your dogs do it? Does it tend to be the younger dog or the more submissive one? Do you know why they do it?…

3 weeks

It has been 3 weeks since I have had my puppy. It has been a crazy time. He is extremely playful, has adapted well, and is good with other dogs. He loves to steal other dogs' toys and hoard them in a corner. One ear is still down and I keep wondering if it will be up soon or not.

I only have one complaint, and that is his horrible snoring. It is loud enough to keep me up at night.

Update on Alice (my cat)

I just got back from the vet with Alice and the news is not good.

The egg-sized lump near her hip is cancer. It seems to be growing into her abdominal wall, and that combined with her age make surgery a less-than-promising option. The vet said the cancer is very aggressive; the cells were dividing like crazy under the microscope.

She drained a large amount of bloody fluid off the site. My sweet princess was an absolute angel and did not put up a fuss. She gave her a shot… Continue

Is it possible to get a Pomeranian to play with my Corgi?

I am at my parents house for the holidays. They have a 3 yr old Pomeranian who feels confined to the top of the couch. My 3 month old corgi just wants to play, and he plays with other dogs really well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a toy lap breed to play with a corgi pup? LOL do Pomeranian's even play with others? She has only really lived in the house, not well socialized like my boy Odin.

I just feel bad that she is stuck on the top of the couch in HER… Continue

My cat has a large mass near her hip

I know this has nothing to do with Corgis, but we do have some cat owners here.

I have a vet appointment this afternoon and I am very worried.

My elderly (16+ year old) cat seems to have sprouted a large growth overnight. One day it was not there and the next day it was huge. It's the size of two golf balls or so and it's directly in front of her hip when she is standing. When she lays down her hip slides forward and the mass seems to go behind her hip.

When I… Continue

Shop on Amazon to Support Corgi Rescue!

Hey Everyone!

In case you are doing any last minute shopping on amazon (or shopping any other time of the year) I just noticed that if you go to For Paws Corgi Rescue and use their link to Amazon you don't pay anything extra they just get a commission. How cool is that??

Sidney vs The Boxer

Sooo, we're out taking our evening walk. It's a pleasant night and the rain is just a memory. One of our neighbors is getting out of his truck and his wife comes out of the house through the garage, letting their two boxers come out with her. They come straight out to us, but the man right away begins calling them back. The wife says "It's ok, they're friendl..." Bam! One of the boxers had rolled Sidney onto his back and was attacking his underbelly! I hate it when I panic and start… Continue

The Carol of the Bells (sorry, this is a long one!)

Ever since Sky was a 12 week old puppy, I have kept bells hanging on the door leading to outside so he could tell me when he needed to go potty. This worked well for us at the time. I was living in an apartment on the third floor (why I ever thought it was a good idea to have an Aussie puppy in an apartment is a whole other story!) and the bells were an excellent way for him to tell me he needed to go out even when I couldn't see the front door. After the newness of "hey I can make the door… Continue

Frontline For Flea Control Question

I've been meaning to post this for awhile now---I use Frontline for Molly every month because we've had a recurring problem with fleas in our house for several months. Does anyone else use Frontline? My biggest concern is that I can NEVER get all of the medication on her actual skin...with the coarse fur on her shoulder blades, I always end up getting some in it, no matter how much I'm able to part from the skin. Does anyone know of a better alternative, or have any suggestions as to a better… Continue

RIP Wa-shu

My bf got his sister a kitten for her birthday, like she's always wanted. They named her Audrey. Audrey got pregnant by a neighbor's cat (assuming) and Wa-shu was born 2003, in this very house. Wa-shu had tan on the tip of her tail, which is the reason why bf chose to keep her. The other kittens were given away to relatives. A few years pass, and Audrey gets hit by a car, and Wa-shu is the only one left.

After 15 months of Ein living… Continue

Molly Is Scared Of EVERYTHING!

Molly, my almost 2-year-old Pembroke, has all of a sudden become scared of just about everything. She's always been a little bit skittish, but about two weeks ago, out of nowhere, it started becoming worse. Molly is afraid of trash bags, trash cans (they vary in size, large kitchen can and small bathroom one), large blankets, pots and pans, you name it! Every time I go to pick up a book to read, she shies away from it and goes and hides. We also used to play a game, where I would stick my foot… Continue

I'm such a lucky mama

I sure am lucky.

One of my favorite things about Pooka is her breath. It still smells like when she was a puppy! A little hint of chlorine (I think). She rarely has bad breath (only after chewin' on something stinky) I hope we can keep this up past a year and a half!

Two things she did recently that were so perfect!

We were at my friend's house with two other dogs so she was being protective of a rolled-rawhide bone the whole weekend. I was playing… Continue

Brand of dog food

What brand do u feed ur corgis and why? I have been giving Max Iams puppy food and now he's ready to move to adult food. I was thinking of switching brands since i have to change his food anyway. I'm looking for something less expensive but still nutritious if possible.
