Puppies at 3 weeks old

Added by Wendt Worth Corgi's on December 23, 2008 at 6:02pm — 12 Comments

The first day Taz was here KC pretty much ignored him. Sunday she still pretty much didn't pay attention to him. Monday she went into full big sister mode. Whenever he is out of his crate she follows him around and if Levi gets after him for something then she is right there letting Levi have it. Last night after Levi went to bed in his crate I let Taz out for a last play and potty and she followed him all over the yard and taught him how to get up the step into the house. I let them play in… Continue

Rosa update - the first week

We finally agreed on a name - Rosa. It seems to fit her and she responds to it. Rose is adjusting well to her new home. I am off from work for a while so I have a lot of time to be with her. Her house breaking is going very well (at least as long as we take her out for LOTS of walks). She as also learned "come." Pretty smart for a pup. She seems to be scared of cars and planes, mostly I think because she can hear but not see them. Otherwise she is pretty brave and adventurous. Her herding… Continue

My life with Gimli

December 23, 2008

I've had him 3 days now and he amazes me everyday. When we got him his left ear was still floppy and it bothered me for a little while but then I just didn't care. Well yesterday it stood up and he is even more beautiful. It took him one day to learn his name and what no sir meant. My daughter taught him to fetch in an hour, well he likes to take the ball and run around the room first but it does get back to her eventually. He sleeps with my husband and I and did… Continue

siblings...

Oh puppy training.

Today I attempted leash training. Definately harder in the snow. Chloe definately resisted! I think tomorrow I am going to try training with food. I feel bad for poor Cooper going at puppy speed during activities! :)

Chloe is still so little, but she is just a fire ball--so fiesty. Kevin nick named her "Little Kujo" and I call her "Sarah" from " The Land Before Time". She is so funny, not afraid of anything!

I don't think Cooper knows what… Continue

Happy Holidays Everyone.

I am keeping my fingers crossed that by the time the holidays roll around next year, I'll have my Corgi.

I have been thinking about training him (or her) as a therapy dog for the Elderly. I work in an assistant living home and one topic that comes up most often is animals. Many of my residents had to give up their beloved pets when they moved in (although the Home does allow small pets like cats and toy breeds providing the resident can still care for them.) I think a Corgi would be… Continue

Taz's first day/night with us

We got to pick up Taz yesterday! Everyone was so excited. Ok at first not everyone was excited but KC is warming up to him. We were really busy yesterday as we finally made it back home after being gone for five days. So we brought him home, unloaded the car, stuck him in his sisters new pink crate and had to go get some errands done before the new snow storm hit. It was funny because when he went to the bathroom he managed to somehow go so that it landed outside of his crate. Anyway, so he… Continue

Chesney is home!!

Well we got to bring Chesney home today. She is soooo cute and funny. After we introduced her to Oreo and they got used to each other she started to go up to him and get down sticking her butt up in th air and growling at him and then pawing at his face then she'd bark at him with her cute little bark and then jump on him....lol. Oreo didn't know what to do! He just sat there looking at her like "what the heck are you!" Sooo cute!

Now potty training should be tons of fun seeing as how we… Continue

One week of rest... kind of

I'm not sure if Owen made it through okay or if he will ever look at the vet sweetly again. On Monday, I drove in the snow to get Owen fixed, vaccinated (rabies), and have his front dew claws removed. All in all, I'm pretty sure this was equally tragic for all of us involved. I picked up poor Owen that afternoon, paws bandaged and drove home. He cried until he got to my lap and I cried too.. we are babies. He rested alot and that night whined and whined. Matt had to sleep in the hallway part of… Continue

Is that a new pillow? Nope, it's Camber.

Seasoon's greetings!

Lots of exciting things have been happening here. Everyday is a tiny miracle when it comes to Camber's disposition. One thing is that she no longer follows me around the house all the time. Before, I couldn't take a shower without a corgi chilling on the bath mat. She has become more independent and I'm happy about it. (Well, sometimes. I kinda liked her following me around...) She has a new bed which she likes to chill out in. Moses wants her with us all the… Continue

Winter Indoor Games

For those of you who don't know - Bindi and I (Denise) are from Nebraska, and we are in the middle of quite a cold snap (they are forecasting a wind chill of -39 F on Sunday!).

I quickly discovered that when my little girl doesn't get her exercise, she is very bad at night (a la barking, biting, cat chasing, squirminess, and getting into all sorts of miscellaneous mischief). So, with it being too cold for her owner to bear a mile walk in the A.M., and a half-mile in the P.M. she has… Continue

We have a new intern :)

...and his name is "Skippy" ! He was surrendered to our rescue today :) Skippy's new role will be assisting Silvia around the office. So far everyone is getting along, actually we caught him and Vienna flirting quite a bit, Mocha is keeping an eye on them from a distant, so will there be an office romance or a love triangle? Only time will tell :)

It is snowing part 2

It started snowing last Saturday in Hermiston, snowed most of Sunday, and Monday. My husband got stuck in it for 5 hours trying to get to work. Finally made it home safely thank God. They called his work off for the rest of the week so we opted to brave it and go down to my parents house in Vancouver Washington. Fun trip down haha.

Spent a couple of days there, headed back up the gorge for The Dalles where my mother in law lives, got stuck on the highway behind some jack knifed semi's for… Continue

The Garfield and Odie syndrome

I am not the only one who is getting anxous for our corgi. Our German Shepard Rusty is starting to suffer from an only dog syndrome.

He has grown up with two other dogs. Now that it is just my boyfriend, myself, and my cat he is having a hard time adjusting. Although the days we are both at work we take him to visit his old pack while we are gone. There is a total of four days (because my BF and I work different shifts) that he is home with one of us. Now we try our best to be… Continue

Peanut butter!

This is awesome.

I have issues with giving leon anything other than all natural peanut butter. Can't stand the idea of all those crappy and unnessicary preservatives going into him. Organic peanut butter is so expensive though, so as much as he loves it, he's only able to have it on very rare occasions. Maybe it wouldn't be so rare though if I was able to get that, and I know it would more than pay for it's self… Continue
