Just keeps getting better

We've had her almost 2 months now and Yumi still never ceases to make me laugh everyday with something new. She has really come a long way from the shy little pup I brought home! She's still a bit timid around people she doesn't know all that well, but a tummy rub usually brings her right around. ^^ Otherwise she is a complete and total spaz! She's always hopping, bouncing, and spinning around, doing everything she can to keep my attention focused on her and her alone. If I go into another room… Continue

New Addition

Nabisco arrived this evening to join Figg and Newton. She's a sweet and friendly pup who is terrorizing the other two for the moment. I am confident that they will become fast friends in no time.

First coyotes and now maybe a cougar!

This has been a long week. Tues am I had my dogs out as usual I sent my Aussie out 1st to monitor the area and then my 5 corgis go out shortly after this. It was still dark and I went to check on them and as I opened the door I could hear coyotes very close (maybe right outside our 5 acres). I yelled for my husband to turn on the lights as I flew out the door to collect the dogs! All were safe but this was way to close so I spent the balance of the day putting a 30'X30' fence up connected to… Continue

Two Tired Doggies

Right now as I sit here and type this blog, I am listening to two tired dogs panting away. One would be Lance (my corgi) and the other is Marcus (pug, my sisters) Marcus and Lance have known each other since Lance was 14 weeks old, they both were born in the same year. :) Marcus turned 4 this September while Lance will turn 4 at the end of this month. I periodically watch Marcus when my sister goes out of town, but this time I called my sister up and offered to have Marcus come stay with us… Continue

Here's what's constantly going on in my house...

I LOVE that she's not scared of him...I love even more that he runs away from her at the end!

Oh and have your sound on, she's quite… Continue

The Watching, the annual Christmas story is now in print with all proceeds to go to CorgiAid!

Hi, everyone! I know that some of you are aware of the annual Christmas story that I write that is called The Watching. After several years of doing this and many requests to do so, this year's presentation will be published with full color illustrations! All proceeds will go to CorgiAid, which helps rescuers with medical expenses, so that corgis can begin their new lives with clean teeth, properly innoculated, and any medical problem taken care of. To read about how this works, go to… Continue

is this cruel enough to report?

This is a very long story.

Alsmost 3 years ago my dad's wife nagged him to get a dog saying that she was bored to be alone at home. She is a nurse and when she's not at 12h shift she's at home all day. I don't remember them looking for a dog for a long time and waiting, I just remember they typed in "boxer-bulldog mix, raleigh nc" on craigslistand found a couple of puppies and went to see them.

They picked up Betty the same day they saw her, $300, no questions, no parents… Continue

Busy again!

Oh wow, have I been busy. I haven't really been to my corgi in well over a year. I got married in Sept 2008, and my dad was in a terrible motorcycle accident (he's ok now), and then we bought a house! Needless to say, my priorities changed! I will try to visit more often from now on!

The barking dog

Roxi has always been the quiet one *knocks on wood* so when we got Charlie we were not ready/used to a talker/barker to that magnitude.

I've had friends mention that we should use a shock collar on him and while I know shockers can be useful in their own right.. I wasn't ready to take it to that extreme. I remember another friend telling me how she borrowed her mother's collar and the first time she used it on her dog she cried. In the end it did work out for her and he has an… Continue

Ordeal; Warning - Descriptions of vomit

Yesterday, or day before yesterday now, so Sunday, I had a baked potato for lunch. Completely forgetting that dogs shouldn't have potato peals, I slipped Didi a chunk of the baked potato shell while the puppy was busy gnawing on rocks. Seemed innocent.

Flash forward to Sunday evening. Didi seems a little lethargic, but I assume that's from being run ragged by tussling with the puppy and frapping around the yard for a half hour. She's also belching alot, and I wonder if mom gave her too… Continue

Clash of the Sofa Titans

It was a day of sitting. A day of raining. A day of utter inside boredom that had to be rectified, through any means.

So our mighty (and rather short) hero takes these matters into his own short paws...

"Oh ho, foul feline villian! I am liberating this comfy sofa from your clawed clutches!"

Mommy and Me Walk

I took Lyla, and only Lyla, on a walk tonight. I think that is the first time she has ever gone on a walk without big brother Sky. She was so incredibly good too! It sounds a little sad, but I had no idea she had such great leash manners because Sky is a little more hyper on walks (a little more hyper EVERYWHERE) and so when he pulls, which is getting less frequent than it used to be, it pulls her too since they are hooked together on a splitter. I was so proud of my baby girl!

On a… Continue

Corgi Vomit !!!! On Mom !! Yuck!!!

I must start out with I've never been vomited on by a dog before so It's prob. fitting that the first time should be with my 1st corgi Jordan. I work swing so I got off at midnight and stopped by my sis's house to pick Jordan up (he was at daycare yesterday) And went home. I went through the good night routine feeding and potting the pups, I took a shower and went to bed and thats when it happened. I was laying there all nice and snuggly when I feel Jordan hop up and he starts rubbing his face… Continue

Baxter the Therapy Dog dies at age 19

Let me start by saying Baxter was NOT my dog, but a dog that touched my heart.

I brought this photo and article over from www.momentswithbaxter.com.

Baxter was a wonderful therapy dog. I had the pleasure of meeting him at a Humane Society fundraiser last spring. You could just feel the love and peace coming from him...it was amazing. Baxter was my inspiration to get Sidney into the therapy dog program. He will surely be missed beyond words. RIP… Continue

My Roomba ROCKS!

For the last month or so I've been bugging my husband for a roomba. I read such great posts about it on mycorgi that I felt it would be perfect for us. However due to their expense it just didn't seem feasible. Then yesterday I was on Kijiji and I thought I would look for a cheaper one. Long story short...we got a nearly brand new one (model 530) for only $160.

And this baby works awesome. I've named it Rosie (after the robot on the Jetson's) and I'm sooooo happy. It picks up a huge… Continue

Nellie has a little brother

Well we caved in and got Nellie a little brother to play with. We took her to choose a puppy. The breeders had only a little boy and a little girl left. We were interested to see if she liked the boy and she did! We brought Howie home Friday, and with each day passing they have become better friends. Nellie was a little freaked at first. She peed on his new bed and on a blanket. We have been working hard to not make a big deal over him. Now that they have had time to chase each other and… Continue

Can you help identify the cross?

This picture gives you an idea of her size at 2-4 months old. Any help or comments will be welcomed. I have posted pictures on my page if would like to see them. It has been over 25 years since we have had a dog, but how could anyone pass up on her. She is very active but will calm down when asked to. The last dog we had was a Great Dane with alot of personality and very loving. I did not think the small breeds would be, how wrong I was. Even at… Continue
