Ever since our puppy was little she has never, never liked the vacuum cleaner. We tried in her puppy socialization class to get her to at least tolerate the vacuum cleaner, but it never worked. Now when I take out the vacuum she goes over to the side of the room by the fire place and sits on the hearth of the fire place. Her ears go out straight - the Yoda position as we call it - and she sulks and freaks out. We have to "kill the monster" when we are finished with it. We wrap…

The Dudley Update, October 15

Today Dudley got his last stitch removed. We're just ending week 2 of rehab and I have to admit we've caved. Weeks 1-3 of rehab were supposed to be only walking on a short leash and crate rest. Yeah, try telling a puppy crate rest. Plus there was some mix up in our instructions. When we brought Dudley home from surgery they encouraged us to walk him. But when we took him back to get his first set of stitches out they assumed Dudley had been on total crate rest. When they instructed us to work… Continue

(four corgi stars of the film and their trainer and owner, Liz.)

Friends and family of nominated film stars are often nervous on the eve of a big cinema awards ceremony. For dog owner Liz Smith, the run-up to the first ever Fido Awards at the London Film Festival on 28 October will be tense indeed.

Corgi woke its owner as fire burned house - Kansas

ALTAMONT - Merry Barley's Welsh corgi usually only wakes her up in the middle of the night if she needs to go outside.

Early Sunday morning, Hannah the corgi jumped on the bed and woke Barley for a different reason - the house at 16094 Kiowa Road was on fire.

"I owe my life to her," Barley said. Barley said she woke at about 1:50 a.m. and wondered why her house was so bright. She thought she had left a light on somewhere… Continue

Moira's just a little bossy...

Moira absolutely kills me! This one left me dumbfounded.

I was lying on the futon with Tank (the Cardi x) and we were enjoying a quiet afternoon. Not for long. Moira hit the doggie stairs at a dead run. She turned in the air and football tackled poor Tank. She sent him sailing about two doggie-lengths. This meant she was now the owner of the prime spot next to me on the futon!! I have never had a dog do that! Totally cracked me up! I wish I had a video because you'd never believe it… Continue

Mac and Jager

We have been struggling the past couple of months. On August 29th we brought our 6 month German Shorthair Pointer Jager home for good. Before this she had been at the breeder's being trained to point and hunt. We brought her home for a couple of weekends to get her and Mac used to each other. She is now 50 lbs and our little corgi is only 22. Since Jager is only 8 months old now and Mac is 2 1/2 years she likes to play a bit more than Mac.

We have to feed them separate as Mac gets a…

Corgis on High Street, Christchurch, New Zealand

These were installed to coincide with the 50th jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. As New Zealand is a member of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth is also the Queen of New Zealand. And, the queen is well known for her corgis. The corgi at the back is sniffing a dropped ice cream.

Light to the lonely

VANDALIA, Mo. — Imagine living in a crowd but feeling lonely.

Imagine living in a place where an innocent look can lead to a brutal fight.

Imagine living through the worst day of your life in a place where hugs are against the rules.

That is the life inside a maximum security prison: the Women's Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center in Vandalia…

Landscaping with your pets in mind

Karen Basso lives on about a third of an acre in Fresno, Calif. As a Master Gardener, she obviously loves to garden. But she also loves her two dogs.

But can they coexist? Can she have a top-notch yard with a colorful variety of plants and not have to worry about whether her pets will be snacking on it? Or, worse, getting sick from eating the plants?...Details

Moira - the former chubby corgi

I'm tickled pink to say that Moira has lost more weight. When we got her she was tipping the scales at just under 47 lbs. (How insane is that?) I weighed her at work today and she's at 31 lbs.! That's just amazing! We adopted her on 5/3 and here we are on 10/3 and she's dropped 16 lbs.! Wow!

The Dudley Update, October 3

Dudley is doing GREAT! We made the journey to Columbia, MO today for Dudley's one month post op follow up visit at the MU Vet School. It was a long day. Our appointment was scheduled for 1:30 but they were way behind so we had a long wait for our appointment. Then we waited 2 hours for radiographs. We didn't get out of the clinic until after 5 pm and didn't get home until around 9 pm.

His elbow has aligned very nicely and the bone is healing wonderfully. You can still see the line… Continue

The Dudley Update

Dudley, our Cardigan Welsh Corgi, had surgery last month on his right front leg for elbow dysplasia. It was quite the experience. Ever since we got him I thought he ran kinda funny but he was a puppy. I just thought "he'll grow out of it" and didn't give it another thought. However as he grew, he started to limp after particularly hard play sessions. I took him to our local vet and she said that first we were going to take the conservative approach. We'd treat him for a sprain but if it… Continue

Tank the Therapy Corgi

Tank had a visit yesterday at one of our local assisted living facilities. He's such a ham!!! He performed all his tricks for the few residents who joined us. He was the hit of the party, for sure. All the other dogs sit around and look cute. But Tank has to perform!

FDA Warns Dog Owners on Chicken Treats

Chicken jerky treats may have sickened dozens of dogs, federal health officials warned Wednesday despite failing to find any trace of contamination.

The Food and Drug Administration said it's fielded more than 70 complaints, involving more than 95 dogs, from owners who believe their animals fell sick after eating the products, sold variously as chicken tenders, strips or treats. While most dogs appear to have recovered, an unspecified number died… Continue
