I am hoping someone can help-I have had my 5 yr old girl for not yet 5 months.  She has had 4 eye injuries, the last 3 requiring a cone and pain meds.  The first 3, she saw the vet that's in with my regular vet and was treated for eye punctures from apparently running into things (chasing rabbits)  Her eyes were stained and the vet showed me the injuries.  This last Sunday, she woke up, couldn't get one eye open and the other barely, so ended up at the emergency clinic, which is fairly new…

The Washington Cascades didn't have a winter in 2014-2015 (warmest Dec. and Feb. on record).  This was February 2015, conditions more like June (no exaggeration).  It's about 6 miles to the little peak at left in this photo, with 4600' of gain.  The first mile was bare trail (usually it would be many feet of snow, and I wouldn't even be able to drive to the trailhead). We'll snowshoe to that little snowy notch (Surprise Gap), then walk left up the ridge crest:…

Happy St. Patrick's Day from Ashton, Pinoko and Alphonse!!

DSC00589.JPGI just adopted my brothers 3 yr old corgi. He had him on purina chow food. After reading and searching I have changed Earl over to Pure Balance Wild and Free. Bison and Pea recipe. Grain, soy, corn and wheat free. 4 star. He has hip dysplasia. Since I have had him 1 1/2 weeks, he has no steps to climb and no hard wood floors. I take him to the park everyday after dinner at…

Hi everyone! So sorry that I dissapeared for a long time...Caught up in puppy life and figuring out he balance. I think we've got it down pretty good now. 

Nugget has grown like a weed and is healthy, thank goodness! We've had him for 50 days thus far and he got his last shot today! Woohoo! Time to show this pup the world!

Literally! I'm going home to Chicago for the month of may to be a temp at my old job for a girl's maternity leave. I'm nervous yet excited.…

Toby was stolen from his backyard this morning in Arcadia, CA.  If you have any news you can contact me thru here or others on IG @corgilexi or @corgella.  It was also posted on the SoCal corgi FB page.

 You'll probably recall from my last post that the other day Cassie evinced a moment of snappishness toward Ruby the (former) Corgi Pup. One reader expressed concern that some dominance aggressiveness might be developing. Further discussion of dominance issues appears in a new discussion string, where the OP describes using a…

 The topic of discussion is "dominance".  I have had dogs for most of my life. My first corgi (Torgi)  was definitely that, dominant, but because I was so young (13), and had had no training on the subject, just assumed that this was who he was and that was that. Then a lab/border collie, and  then consecutively two golden retrievers, one whom I still have, but all definitely NOT dominant!  And now I have Tilly, the dominant wanna be tri-colored Pembroke Welsh Corgi!  What a great…

HI everyone, thanks for the welcome to the group.  My name is Rebecca, and my corgi's name is Timber.  We live and play in Anchorage, Alaska.  I met my first corgi in Fairbanks, AK, and I've been hooked ever since.  I've often heard that I shouldn't get a corgi because I'm the adventurous type.  "That dog is too short to be climbing mountains; you should get a husky or a lab instead."  Otto - the corgi that inspired it all - was definitely one adventurous dude.  Then I found this group, and…

Hiiiiiiii everybody!! I'm new to this site and already learning so much from all your experience. We got our first corgi about a month ago and he'll be 3 months by the end of this week. He already knew about 5 commands which I think is good. However he is still SO hyper and sometimes he just can't seem to resist biting our pantlegs! Anyways I hope to get to know you guys and maybe arrange offline meetings so our dogs can hang out (I'm looking for chances to socialize Yayo)

We're from…

Watson continues to be the most happy go lucky dog I have ever seen. He is very fun and loves everybody. Izzy still plays very little with him but we try to make up for it. He loves fetch and find it.

I recovered very quickly from my surgery and have restarted chemo. After 9 weeks the hope is that I will be in remission. So I'm looking forward to a great summer.…

You have read Snoopy's story and soon there will be another blog post from him. He will be 13 on April 20, 2015. He's still going strong. Or slow. Not sure how to say it,  but he's never moved fast & I think that won't change any time soon. We adopted him when he was 6. He's a wonderful old man.

We got our Winston in 2006 as a puppy. He was our very first Corgi. I'd always wanted one & there was a need for a…

Hm. Is a problem building, or is this a passing phase?

Now that Ruby the Corgi Puppy is getting to be about the same size as Cassie the Corgi and is filling out and looking like a grown dog, Cassie is beginning to show considerably less patience with her antics.

Of course, from the git-go she has "corrected" anything that was truly annoying with a fake "bite" (I've gotten in the middle of this once or twice and learned that the feint doesn't involve closing the…

Hello,

I am new to the site and excited to join the Corgi community.  I wanted to hear some people's thoughts on feeding a corgi pup.  She's my first puppy and learning a lot but still need help.  My girl is now 11 wks old and I'm wondering if I am feeding her the right amount of food.  From reading stuff online to what the bag says, there is so much of a difference so any advice from experienced corgi owners would help! Online, I've read anywhere from 1 - 1/2 cups per day but the bag…

Today our Winston passed away.

I've been remiss in not keeping up with his story.

He had a bad spell around Easter last year (2014)but pulled through after 3 weeks of tube feedings around the clock.The chronic anemia was diagnosed as Von Willibrands disease. He gained weight back and tho the hip dysplasia made it slow going, he did well through the summer & fall. His appetite came back, he spent hours in the yard playing with his cone and when snow came, he did his fair…

Hi Everyone :)

We are very excited to be joining mycorgi and wanted to say hello! Excited to learn from other corgi owners and how to grow up as a corgi in the big city!
