My opinion on blueies/fluffies

Okay, I must first say I, in no way shape or form, intend to offend anyone that follows specific showdog standards. I must, however, salute any breeder that actually charges MORE for blueies/fluffies, instead of less as if they are an insult. Same with people, I believe the different ones are the ones you remember, and the ones that leave a great impression. By charging more, breeders show they are celebrating differences, not treating them as a 'faulty'.

And must I say, I have seen… Continue

The Games Doggies Play

I am feeling better today.

I thought I'd write about the games Bernie and Basil like to play in the house. They play a few different games and I've found it interesting to watch them and study their body language.

The most popular game is ring around the recliners (tag). Bernie is always "it". Basil likes to run in circles around the two recliners in the middle of the living room and wait for Bernie to "come get him". Bernie is smart and will cut him off any chance she can… Continue

Dog Theft On The Rise

A pretty scary article was posted on the Corgilove Live Journal Community.

Corgis are mentioned specifically.

"Toy breeds, puppies, and purebred dogs that look expensive or unusual are most vulnerable, says Peterson. Among the stolen breeds tracked by the AKC in 2008 are Yorkshire terriers, poodles, Pomeranians, shih tzu, bulldogs, corgis, a Norwich terrier and… Continue

My furry child

So I just spent 10 minutes trying to get my little darling out from under my bed because she knew she was in trouble for chasing the cat. Those are the moments I sometimes wonder why I felt the need for another baby when my people children are finally getting to the age of going to school. Then when I finally nab her she gives me that look, you know the one, and I have to remind myself that she is in trouble. So as she is getting put in her little time out spot I sneak in a hug and an "I love… Continue

Life with Gibson: 13 weeks old

Gibson is officially 3 months old today! He has had an exciting few days.

This weekend, I took him home to my parents (my parent's house has always been known as "Disneyland" to other kids and dogs because of their big back yard, pool, lots of fun toys my dad would make, etc., and it's surrounded by woods) to play and meet some new people. I took him to a party down the street at a neighbor's house, and he got to play with a huge american bulldog and some kids. There was a little 3… Continue

Awesome Agility School Night

We did a standard course with 21 obstacles. There were not too many changes of direction so that was nice. The first dog up did it perfectly. She would probably have placed at a trial and definitely gotten a Q.

After another dog went it was our turn. Bernie did the opening great - it even involved a teeter which she was scared of doing last week. We finished the course all at once - I stopped about twice to treat her for extra good turns and such. She wasn't too happy with the rear… Continue

The vest makes the difference!

So today we had a very fun time! Grandma and Grandpa moved back from Germany into their old house and mom brought me over to play with cousin Apex and go to the lake!

Grandma thought I was adorable and gave me a bag of handmade peanut butter doggy cookies from a special German pet store! mmmmmmm! She was a nice old lady and couldn't get enough of my tricks...

Then mom and grandma put Apex in her muzzle walker and me in my harness and we hopped into moms car to drive to the… Continue

Shippo's First Day on the Job

Shippo really enjoyed his first day at work today! I work at Camp Bow Wow, a doggy daycare here in Denver, so once I finally got Shippo his Bordetella vaccination, I was able to bring him along! Most of the day, he pranced around, nosing for attention from anyone in sight, but in between that, he made friends with a few dogs, including Tucker, the Chihuahua mix, and Annie, the boss's mutt dog. He also greeted a few customers who came to pick up their dogs. All in all, I think he had a good… Continue

Eewww...Eating mouthfuls of dried cut up grass!

Okay so we have been walking in the neighborhood past the school where they cut the grass but leave behind the clippings. Well Lance just thinks that is the best treat ever! He will keep eating chunks of it. It is like he cant get enough of it! I do notice that his poop has been firmer since he has been eating the chards of grass.

I have heard that eating grass settles their stomach and can make them throw up. Lance does not throw up from eating grass and never has. Lance has eaten… Continue

after a long wait...Trice is finally home with us!

Trice is finally home with us! If you don’t know, we purchased Trice from the breeder in August but because we were in the process of moving to a condo this past weekend, we decided to just officially bring him home when we move. We did take him home for one weekend in August though (shh don’t tell our apartment complex – dogs not allowed)! So, the month-long wait since then was worth it. His ears even perked up while he was away (I wish we were there to witness it ourselves). We missed him so… Continue

Too Perfect Crate Training

~_~

I accidently left Didi in the crate for 10 hours yesterday.

When she is in the crate she never makes a sound because it never gets her anywhere. I had to go pick up my parents from the cruise terminal early in the morning so we went out, had breakfast, went out again and she went right into the crate. Ran to the cruise terminal, picked up the family, came home, unloaded luggage, fed ourselves, more family came over, stories and tasting things and gift giving. We left at 7am.… Continue

Shippo's in the Fluffy Power 2009 Calendar!!

OMG I'm so excited!! I came home last night (well like midnight) from this cool dog party at my boss's house, and checked my e-mail. I had an e-mail from Karen, who makes the Fluffy Power Calendar. Shippo's going to be in the 2009 calendar!!

I had sent in some pictures of Shippo like a year ago, hoping they'd make it into the 2008 edition. Unfortunately, he didn't make it in last year. But he got chosen this time! Woohoo! I can't wait until she releases it!

Le-Le 7 months and counting.....

Le-Le has been part of our family for 7 months now and we are having a wonderful time. Each day brings her more out of her shell. She comes to life at dinner time, and right before bed. So funny that she wants to play with her toys then, runs between the bed and other rooms. She steals a sock, a dish towel, napkin out of the laundry basket and runs outside if the door is open, another room or under a sofa to have a quick chew. She notices the leaves falling & tries to catch them. She is so… Continue

Losing her baby teeth

So I noticed today that Reese has lost her first baby tooth! She went to the vet for her last set of puppy shots and the DR said she'll be losing her teeth soon since he felt them wiggling. The next thing you know... I see a little hole and a missing itty bitty tooth! Our little girl is growing up way too fast! I guess she'll have a visit from the doggy tooth fairy... I wish I was able to catch it but they're so tiny I'm sure she swallows them or something. I'm excited to know that she is now… Continue

The worst day of my life RIP Riley

This photo makes me laugh its funny when you snap a picture and the animal blinks lol just like a person...Also he looks like he is smiling

There is nothing peaceful about putting your loved one to sleep. The vet couldn't believe Riley has made it this far. He couldn't find a vein to put the shot into because there were so many sores. God it was horrible! Riley cried as the shot went in I just held him tight and kept telling him he was the… Continue
