Puppies and Pine Cones

Last night Optimus finally came home with us! He is so adorable and fluffy and cuddle, and just a real sweetheart. He loves giving kisses and little play bites. He seems partially house trained already, which is a huge relief. He'll sniff around a lot and whine a bit when he's ready to go out (if we don't realize in time though, he'll pee on the carpet :p). Anyways, after we take him out to go potty he like romping around outside. One of his favorite things he's found so far are pine cones. I'm… Continue

He's scared of ... a hamster?

We just figured out Zwei is submissive ... if not a little bit more than I expected.

We've started introducing him to our family's other dogs and wondered what would happen if he met our hamsters. So we took one dwarf out, put her in a ball and put her up to him.

What does he do? (haha!)

He grabs his kong and pulls it away! Every time she rolls closer he moves away.

It's kind of cute but worrisome at the same time. At least I know he won't eat them. :)

Dog Shows are a ripoff!!

Alright. It must be a conspiracy. So, Moses, Camber, and I are watching the Dog Show on Animal Planet tonight and I'm quite upset. Now, all dogs are wonderful. They are all special. But. why hasn't a corgi won one of these dog shows? Now, if a corgi has won, well, that's great. Please let me know. But, we watch these dog shows almost every time they come on and corgi's never even place.

Know what won in the category the corgi was in (not a breed category)??

A… Continue

Felony post: Hi corgi's!

Hiiii!

So, my person thought it'd be a good idea for me to make friends with other corgi's and their persons, so here I am! My name is Felony, I was born in September 2008 and I'm nuts for cheese. I was the third corgi pup born in a litter of six. My persons-to-be came most everyday to visit us soon after we were born, so we all got to know them pretty early. I must've made a good impression because they knew right away they wanted me! I think it was because I was pretty independent… Continue

Bad day= Puppy love

I had an awful bad day. My job gets to me sometimes and the next thing I know I'm crying because I'm so stressed out and freaking out over deadlines and such. I don't have a gym close enough to get this out of me--hence tears.

Then I get way laid by two trains putting me even further behind from getting home. I just wanted to go home and take a bath and eat some food--maybe a beer too.

I get home and Freya was eating in her kennel, my boyfriend fed the dogs, so I at least… Continue

Babies

They are all barking, growling and walking around quite well. They seem advanced for their age! They are already begining to nibble on softened puppy food and are loving it. They are so… Continue

SHE'S HERE!!

We picked Morna up at the airport in Charleston yesterday afternoon and got home about 7pm. Morna slept in her crate in the car...no car sickness, yay!!. We took her out of the crate and let her roam around to explore her new home some, and then set up her playpen area. We put her in it an gave her food and water, her bed and her toy that was sent with her along with a new one.

She took one sip of water, sniffed her food, grabbed her toy and started playing with it. Because I put her… Continue

Motorhome travel

We heve just come back from a few days away in our new motorhome which was really relaxing and good fun even with our cold weather!! My problem is Wilf, whilst he is happy enough when we are parked up but he is not happy traveling. He seems very nervous and cant seem to find a place to lie and stay, he is continually on the move (usually around by my husbands feet whilst he is trying to drive!!). I was wondering if anyone had had any similar experience and could offer any advice

Degenerative Myleopathy

When is it a good time to get my Corgi tested for this disease? She is almost two years old and i saw that Corgis are highly known for having this problem. Does anyone know when i should get her tested and if so, are there some who test it here in orlando?

Thank you!

New Year! New Camber.

Hi, everyone!

It has been a very long time since I last posted. I have missed you all!

Things have been going well with us and Camber. She has been loving the snow lately, but definitely has a time limit in the white stuff. Moses and I have been considering training Cam for agility. There are kits that you can buy and set up in the backyard. I think she'd really like it. Time to focus all that FRAP-ping, right?

Other than that, all has been well. Looking into… Continue

Puppy decided on his own ... our apartment is a bathroom?!

We've only had our Zwei for about a week now and he decided to use our livingroom as a bathroom. Big NONO!

This is driving us nuts, so now he occupies the porch (bigger than the area we gave him before) with a covered area. We're afraid to let him inside into the living room or else he pees AND poos, and when we try to take him for a walk he doesn't decide on doing either.

We've tried potty pads, potty-trainer spray of both kinds (don't pee here and pee here) and taking… Continue

Still the queen of poop smushing!!

Josie continues to make a HUGE mess of her kennel area when we are at work - I guess it is just a matter of time before she becomes bored with this little activity....my boxer has even picked up the nasty habit (they are in runs next to eachother in my basement during the day when we are at work). Tomorrow is the big day at Purdue with Maci the boxer - she will be undergoing a full cardiac workup to determine why she passed out. Unfortunately with my… Continue

Something's Missing...

My Cardigan is 4 1/2 months old and still only has one descended testicle. The vet said he would rather not neuter him until the other one drops because if he were to neuter him now, he would have to go into the abdomen and locate the other testicle which ends up being a more complicated surgery and more discomfort for the dog. He said if it hasn’t dropped by 1 year of age, he will have to go in and find it. Has anyone else encountered this problem? I think he called is chryptorchidism and he… Continue
