Leon and the snow.

It's snowing outside right now. First snow of the season. I was fully convinced we wouldn't get any snow over here kent/auburn before christmas. Way to prove me wrong mother nature. :) Yesterday we got slush up on the hill at my mom's house and flooding down here at mine. It's funny how we're less than half a mile apart and yet the winter weather is so desperately different. This is leon's first snow. It had just barely started when we first started out on our first walk of the night. He got to… Continue

The worst case of animal cruelty I've ever heard...

I'll post the story here... but I'll warn you... it's not for the weak stomached. I hesitate to post it, actually, but unless you know the full extent of the cruelty and why they are asking for signatures on their petition for a maximum penalty... you may pass up the opportunity to do the right thing for the memory of Peanut, his family... and other animals that may benefit from stricter animal cruelty laws and penalties.

Remember... this could have been YOUR dog.… Continue

thoughts about rescues....

Hello everyone,

I had seen so many posts of us encouraging everyone about think about rescuing before getting a dog from a breeder or puppy store. First of all, I would never ever buy a dog from the puppy store, cause i am against puppy mills, and i dont want to contribute profits for them. I got Superstar from a very good breeder. And many people out there are thinking "why did you get a dog from the breeder? I think it is wrong! you should get a rescue dog instead because they need… Continue

All My Corgis, Part 5: Puppy! (And her name is....)

Here it is the Christmas season, and my credit union was inexplicably closed yesterday. Seriously. No warning. (Well, a little warning, but my husband forgot to mention it to me.)

So we were a little late leaving for Middle Tennessee, but we finally hit the road around noon. Longest trip ever! I thought we'd never get there! But we did get to Lookout Farms (who has just joined MyCorgi.com), and we did pick up our puppy.

OK, I'll be honest. I spent some time talking to and… Continue

Corgi Neighborhood!

So since Winston lives at my boyfriends house, I'm always over there. Since I'm always there, I always see lots of people taking their dogs on walks. His neighborhood is a pretty highly dog-populated neighborhood (unlike mine, where we can't have ANY fences except for an electrical fence, because of stupid "rules" or whatever... But anyways. Since Winston's moved in, I've seen a lot of corgis in the neighborhood! There's even a new puppy. There's a Cardigan named Oreo, a Pembroke named Tank,… Continue

All My Corgis, Part 4: Harry

Friday's weather forecast for Tennessee is mixed -- in the middle and upper elevations, there's supposed to be snow and wintery precip. Here in the valley of East Tennessee, we're supposed to get hardly any precip and not enough snow to stick. I have been praying for snow since, oh, 1997 or so. We don't get it here any more. Now I'm totally torn between wishing for snow and hoping it's all going away. I don't want anything to prevent me from driving west to pick up Puppy To Be Named… Continue

Funny Video/ Experiment

So this video was posted on "I can has cheezburger" a couple of days ago. It's super cute and it sounds like a baby murloc from Warcraft.

And it led me to think - hmmmm. . .maybe my 2 devils would like broccoli, they already like bananas, carrots, and popcorn. So I went to the grocery store and spent a whoppin' $0.44 on some broccoli.

Now that's a video that I wish I would've taken - Blaze didn't roll on it, surprisingly - but spit it out many,… Continue

Looking For Custom Dog Bowls

Ok, so before we go pick up our new puppy in January, we need to finish getting all the essentials. This includes bowls and a brush mainly. Anyways, the dog's name is going to be Optimus (after the transformer, yeah I'm a dork). Anyawys, I went to cafepress.com and created a dog bowl with his name and a symbol from the Transformers TV show. I ordered it, but the next morning I found out that I had to cancel it because the image was copyrighted. I really like the design I made and I really want… Continue

Olive's Progress #1

Well, already after just one day Olive has shown great progress. There was no chewing while I was at work yesterday, no chewing while I was asleep and nothing had been destroyed when I went home to walk her this afternoon. She was being a very good girl. We picked up a whole bag full of different types of chewy bones for her, and a tennis ball. She's got things to occupy her now, plus I think she and the cat have finally become friends. I see them touch noses a lot lately. It's so… Continue

Sneaky Corgi

I was sitting in bed last night enjoying Private Practice when I hear noises out in the kitchen. Thinking that KC is trying to climb into the garbage can again, I quietly tip toe down the hallway and turn on the light. KC is laying under the Christmas tree.....with her nose in the brand new bag of treats I had bought her yesterday. Literally had taken two out when we were running through some commands yesterday, and there are now three left out of a 7oz. package. Boy did she know she was in… Continue

Cancer awarness

Hey as most of you know my beloved Riley died of cancer. So to me it is so important to be aware and also to help research a cure. I have found a great website dedicated to finding cures for cancer and when you donate for every $ they send you a bracelet you can pass around to let others know or keep for yourself. So if anyone is interested the website is

Just as in people, early detection is critical. That's why it's so important… Continue

Corgi Metal Art

Here is an example of some corgi metal art. The artist has two versions, this and one sitting. Also options for display, a stake in ground or standing. I have her email if anyone is interested.

Green Eye'd Dogs

I found a really neat article about dogs and envy. The basic premise is that if a dog sees another dog getting a better reward for the same command that they are doing, they will stop doing the command because they see that they are getting a raw deal.

Some of us already know that our Corgis are clever little furkids, but I never imagined that the reason she hates the cats might be because she thinks they get better… Continue
