Life with Gibson: 11 weeks old

My Gibson is 11 weeks today! He's getting so big..I swear he goes in his crate at night and comes out a different puppy :) And he's looking...chunkier? Is this normal for growing puppies? Everyone is commenting on what a chunk he is (maybe because he waddles), but I know I do not overfeed. The area around his neck especially, but I think that might be normal for a corgi? In any case, he's adorable. I'm seriously excited to see how he will look when he's an adult. I know a lot of people want… Continue

Getting ready to move

I am going to be moving out on my own soon and my sweet Callie will be joining me. I am really nervous on how she is going to take it. She is 4 months old and 10lbs (she's small I know!) and she has gotten used to living with 4 people, 3 cats, a rabbit, and a chinchilla. Now we are going to live in an apartment with just us 5 hours away. I'm moving because of school and there is no way I could leave my baby behind. Not only because I'd miss her but she is so attached to me.

She has been an… Continue

Ever notice..

That when your precious corgi does something wrong.. you blame your spouse/significant other...

like this morning.. I was awakened by my husband going "are you kidding?" I grumble.. "did he poop?" "No" "did he pee" "no"

At this I sit up in bed a little bit grumbling about waking up before 8 on my only day completely off. Matt comes in and says, "Owen chewed on your brown flats." I knew I had left them on the floor but not in an area Owen has free reign. And up until now… Continue

Exciting news!

I bought my husband another Corgi for his birthday!

She is 5 months old.

I don't have a name for her yet, but we're about to go out to dinner to talk about it and make a decision :)

Will post pics soon!

Unfortunatly i forgot my camera card so i have no photos only my memory that sucked! Riley was afraid of the waves like I figured and he barked at them and had fun playin in the sand. He is still hanging in there so we are doing good!

Rainy Days Dilema

Well as you know it has been quite rainy, its nice to see the grass getting some water but enough is enough. Lance doesnt like going on wet grass he puts on the brakes, all paws are glued to the cement!! Eventually I will get him to go into the wet grass but he is very picky what section of the wet grass he will go on??? What a funny dog! He will go out into the rain to pee if he really has to go but anything other than that he just rather hold for better weather or just go inside! Lately with… Continue

Harlly!!

So yesterday was the day. I brought home my little princess! It was really the best day of my entire life. It was my last day of school so after class i packed up and my boyfriend came and picked me up and we went to SFO to pick up little Harlly. Then they told us she was being taken to cargo, so we had to drive there. The people there said come back in an hour, she should be her by then! We were super anxious at this point. We saw another couple outside the cargo hold with there new dog. it… Continue

Ugh!

So I thought Gibson was an allstar at crate training..but yesterday I started smelling pee when I was sitting on the floor next to his crate, and today it was really bad and he stunk of pee! So I decide to investigate his crate and there it is under his bedding, a nice wet spot...and after pulling out his bedding I notice a huge stain on the bottom of it! Ugh! He does not cry or whine at all when he's in there. It's a very small crate too, I even thought be too small. Why does he think it's ok… Continue

Ein the brat!

Do I need to expect a lifetime of a stubborn corgi? Ein is a little over 6 months and he has just been terrible lately! We got him neutered last week so we thought he would mellow out a bit after it. However, since he has been neutered we are unable to take him to the dog park or the doggy day care, because he can't get his stiches wet and it is harder to monitor him at those places. So, it seems he has bundles of energy but he just doesn't use it appropriately. He gets a 1/2 mile walk in the… Continue

6-month Cheez-it Update

Well, I've been distracted for a while but I thought it was about time to stop on in and say how Cheez-it was doing. He is just around 6 months old now and weighs around 17 lbs. (correction: I just weighed him and he is 19lbs.) He still seems rather small for his age, or mabye some of you guys have giant monster-corgi's. He just really isnt intrested in food too much, he mabye eats a cup daily and every other day a cup and a half (I feed him blue buffalo lamb for pups).

He's… Continue

time for a spray bottle...

Owen has been weird this week. It is a week that has made me very thankful for this website! He turned 4 months on Sunday. He lost a few teeth recently (hilarious- two front teeth on the top AND the bottom) so he looks a little funny. Our schedules have been weird but twice he put himself to bed at the end of the night. Walks have happened at different times of the day and goodness knows our stubborn little boy is confused by that. However work has just forced us to have this weird… Continue

Sigh....Rough First Class

Grover's first day in Intermediate class was tonight and....well....it did not go well. There were only 2 other dogs in the class and they have all been in several classes and are much older than Grover (Grove is 8 months). So, of course, I wasn't comparing him to them. But, even still, it was a rough class. He did wonderful in Beginner Obediance class. He was a star. But we've had a couple of months off and he just acted like a stink pot tonight.

First of all, we practiced sit-stay's and… Continue

Getting ready for Ike!

Jack is a nervous wreck! I think he knows something big is coming. He's been in hiding most of the day, even growling at me when I try to pick him up and take him outside. We live in Cypress where the winds are supposed to be up to 95 mph! We've decided to ride it out, but if we're without power for too long, we're taking the dogs and going to a hotel!

Good luck to all who are weathering the storm!

Didi prepares for Hurricane Ike!

Here on the third coast, Didi's preparing for hurricane ike! Mostly by watching me prepare for Hurricane Ike by laying lazily at my feet while I toil away!
And by toil, I mean put up and away water-sensitive things. Also cleaning the yard of potential projectiles. And boarding up. She thinks that moving outdoor furniture is hilarious!
We're sheltering in place with all the animals, so wish us luck. :)

Dog gets neglected because of videogames.

Naw, just kidding.

Spore came out, so Didi and I have been playing a whole lot of it. Yesterday I tore myself away from it long enough to take her to the dog park where she got to play with a little beagle. Usually she fence-hugs when we're there, or makes the rounds to all the people, but this time she got a lot of running in behind that beagle.

On the way home I got her a 24" bully stick, which should keep her well occupied while I lose myself in the spore universe… Continue

My Dad's Schnauzer has Cushings disease

My Dad is so upset because his 12 year old Schnauzer has been diagnosed with Cushings disease and pancreatitis. Peggy Sue was my Mom's dog and I think if she passes that my Dad will lose his last reminder of Mom who died in 2004. I have done some internet research and it seems to be treatable. Has anyone had any experience with these diseases? He also is having trouble getting her to eat the prescription diet that the vet gave her. The vet put her on ID. Dad always gave her lots and lots of… Continue

Madog goes calling

I made Madog stay home from the office today because of his poor performance yesterday. I went home at lunch and let him out and he peed and pooped on command (in training) and then wanted back in the house instead of a walk. We played for a bit and then I headed back to work.

At the end of the day the bosses wanted to know where he was because they wanted him in the office (where he is known as Johnson) and they don't seem to care that he still leaks which means of course I can… Continue

Life with Gibson: 10 weeks old

Well, little Gibson has had quite the week! He's still doing fabulously with the potty training and crate training..and learning a few basic commands (sit, stay, lay down). He can be a little mean at times though, which worries me, even though I know it's just the way he plays. He will herd us and run up and growl at us and bite at our feet..we've tried lots of techniques to get him to stop but nothing has really worked yet. So, today I sent in registration for puppy obedience at our park… Continue

Sliding into home

Madog was so funny leaving the office today. It was time to go home. And he was down the mezzanine from me. I called him and told him it was time to go. I was crouched down and had his car harness open and ready to put on. He came barreling down on me and slid head first into his harness. He really must have wanted to get out of there. :)

But with the amount of accidents he had this afternoon he has guaranteed he will not be going back anytime soon.

I can only hope he someday… Continue
