Manhattan, KS

It's Saturday and I have the whole day free. Anyone got any ideas of what there is to do with a 9 week old puppy in manhattan, KS? Is he too young to go to the dog park? We start puppy classes next week, so should I wait till then to take him to a dog park?

A primer for picking a pooch.

I really hope Corgis don't become too popular...

The Wait Begins

We finally got confirmation on the breeding schedule for the litter our puppy will be from. It's looking like puppies will be expected by the end of September/early October, which means puppies will go to their new homes (our home!) around the end of the year/early 2014.



That is a long time to have the "I WANT A DOG" pangs, but the wait will be worth it.



I'm continuing to read everything I can about the breed and refreshing myself on puppy rearing basics. It's been many… Continue

Wedding Corgi

So I'm thinking about having Dodger wear a little tux to our wedding. It's just an idea so far and I haven't decided if I'll take him along yet or not, but I'm really considering taking him with us to the wedding. Just wondering if anyone else has taken their corgi/corgis to their wedding or someone else's wedding and how it turned out?

good and bad news

Got some exciting news this morning. I was contacted by BBC. They would like to use videos of our Corgis working cows in a new series called "The Wonder of Dogs." This series will begin airing this fall, they saw the Animal Planet video and really want to show our dogs doing their thing!

Bad news, we are not going to get Joey puppies, Katie did not take. We did find out that one of Joeys puppies has sired puppies that will be born soon so we can possibly get a joey grandson. The…

Surprise!

So Jonathan has been plotting and planning something and didn't tell me. Well last night we sat down and he said he knew how much I've been trying to start traditions in our household when he surprised me with this:

It's a Corgi in a stocking Christmas ornament! I don't now how he got it or how long he's been planning on surprising me with it, but it was really sweet of him to pick out our first Christmas ornament. And I know Christmas is still a little bit off, but…

Winnie De Fluffy

  Winston aka WinnieDFluffy is an almost 7 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi that we've had since he was 8 weeks old. He came from a kennel near Berwyn, NE. This is an update on Winston's issues of late. Things are not going well, but he's still high spirited, ornery & still fights with his traffic cone.…

Happy Birthday Pumpkin

I spent the morning baking pupcakes for my darling Pumpkin, who today is 12 Years old. I'm so happy to look into her adoring eyes every morning when she jumps on the bed. I can see that sometimes it's an effort to get up after a snooze, and her hearing isn't what it was, but when she hops along the sidewalk I'm thrilled. She still has that puppy look with a little grey eye liner! This evening all her dog neighbors will get a pupcake & wish her the best. I'm the luckiest corgi mom…

Bailey needs your help

Three weeks ago, Bailey was frapping in the yard and running full speed as corgis do.  He tripped and slammed his chest into a wood step.  He seemed to be OK, but the next morning Bailey's back legs were paralyzed.  I rushed him to the vet and after tests, they determined he had spinal cord damage.  The vet sent us to a veterinary surgeon and after more tests it showed he needed surgery immediately. The surgery went well.  He stayed at the surgeons for 5 days. He is now recovering at home…

Collar and tag

Riley has been home for almost a week now and we've mostly gotten past hating his collar though he still scratches at it some. So we decided we could add a tag since he needs to have his dog licence tag on and we'd like him to have a tag with our number on as well (and he might need a rabies tag once he has had his vaccine). Problem is he HATES it, it's so big on his little neck he fights with it till he can get it in his mouth and then chew on it. I'm not thrilled about him chewing on metal…

Trying to Adopt

So, I've applied for three-four different corgis and well got really disappointing feedback. First email I got was saying that the one dog already had a deposit on him and that he was already majority through the process of being adopted. The second email I received was about the dog had already been adopted out and that the ad was old. I feel bad because I know how badly Jonathan's been looking in to getting another corgi since he can't have the dog he wants until next year and Dodger won't…

Thank you to my dogs.

My dogs are a blessing in my life. Especially this last year.

I learned a lot from Pilot, and continued to learn more when I got Lemmy 6 months later. They test(ed) me, taught me patients, compassion, and helped me to learn when to laugh things off.

This passed year had been rough. My marriage crashed and burned. As I grew miserable, not once did they leave my side. When I sank into a deep depression, again they never left my side, instead they reminded me I was still important,…

Puppy Supply Shopping Spree

So Jonathan and I went shopping for Dodger and we spent about almost two-three hundred on some supplies. Some we got from in a store and the rest we got online. So we're waiting on all of our online stuff we ordered, but I'm going to show the stuff we got from the store.

Things you won't see:

- Orange Teddy Bear

- Marvin the moose toy

- Coco colored dog bed

- Kibble…

Considering Service Dog Training

I haven't really discussed it with my fiance yet, but it's been at the back of my mind for a while now since we first started looking for a Corgi and it kept coming back to me after we decided we'd get Dodger. I'm considering having Dodger (once he's older of course) go into training to be a service dog. With myself having a lot of cardiac problems, I thought it might be a possibility to consider. Of course I'd have to talk to my fiance about it and of course take into consideration what…

Iowa Corgi Frap

Had a great time at the Iowa Corgi Frap Party at Foggy Bottom on Saturday.  Drake and Frosty very much enjoyed having some friends to play with.  I have posted pictures on Facebook if anyone is interested in seeing them :)

Meet Nimue.

I've always dreamed of owning Corgis I envisioned two,a male and a female. I had their names picked years ago.

 

Well I got my Gwenhwyfar. I've been looking for my Arthur..deciding to try the rescue route. Well apparently I was meant to get a Nimue first.

We're changing her name to Nimue to stay with the Arthurian legend.  She's a rescue a year and two months old. Not spayed...we're fixing (no pun intended) that ASAP.

We''re bringing her to the vet this…

Sad day

I know I've posted this elsewhere, so if you are seeing this in several places, I apologize.





I am asking if those in the corgi community can keep positive thoughts going Stormy's way. Pippa and he got into some rat poison today. It was in a cabinet that is normally child locked, but he worked at the cabinet enough to loosen the knob. After a shaky few hours, Pippa is doing better, but Stormy may not make it. He's only 9 months old, and my Thor has never been a day without his… Continue

Nasodigital Hyperkeratosis on my Corgi

Hi everyone, 

I noticed today that Maple had what looks like filaments, or long thick hair growing from her two back paw pads. First we thought it might be a fungal infection and after doing some research online and looking at some pictures, it sounds like she might have Nasodigital Hyperkeratosis, an ailment that occurs in dogs paws and nose. Apparently excess keratin grows and creates a fuzzy hair like growth on the paw pad. 

Have any of you experienced this with your dog? If…
