What would be fair to the dog?

Currently, I have been thinking a lot about what I want my dog to be: an agility dog, a service dog or just a normal family pet... And the other question to me which I think I will never have the answer is what kind of dog my dog wants to be...



I have been with dogs for a long time, but neither none of them has been trained in certain way, nor was provided the opportunity to be trained or even exercise, due to lack of knowledge of this in my hometown. Though they looked happy to me… Continue

Yeast? Staph? Chloe's August skin woes

Hi Friends,

I was just looking at my blog when Chloe was having a terrible itchy time, & I can't believe it was a year ago! Now I'm just starting to realize that perhaps she has seasonal allergies. The weather here a few weeks ago was HOT! She has this funky rash on her private area and under her armpit. I'll attach pic of her front armpit (her genital area is the same color like the armpit; it wasn't that way previous to this rash) She swims 2-3 days a week at the beach. I'm…

About the Worst day Ever

And Ziggy is what I have to thank for being able to get through it. Well, friends help too, of course.. But Ziggy is what makes me able to ignore the stomach twists and focus on something else for a while, giving me a much needed distraction. I love his big ears and little legs and tailless hiney and his overbite and everything about him. He's an instant happy source.…

URGENT NEED: HAWAI'I CORGIS

Hi everyone, 

Patti's got to go back to Oahu (Waipahu) because of a family emergency.  For those who don't remember, Patti is an Iraq War vet with PTSD.  She has a service dog, but we are concerned that with the time line we will not have a way to send Harmony with her.  Anyone on here in Hawai'i who can help us with what is necessary to get Harmony into Honolulu with Patti.  Or if you can be a contact for her while there to help her out.  Please get ahold of me on Facebook …

Complete Bed rest for two weeks!

We returned from the vet not too long ago.  What we thought was a hurt paw is not.  The reason Chloe yelps once in awhile is because she tweaked her back.  This could not have come at a worse time.  Chloe had her teeth cleaned last Friday so she was under sedation.  Friday I got the call that my dad was on his deathbed so my husband had to pick Chloe up.  Chloe was still somewhat under the influence and tried to jump up on her chair-a leather recliner love seat, well she missed and…

Jack thinks I'm some sort of magician.

I make the dogs a scrambled egg several times a month, and Jack always gets very excited when he sees me making eggs.  (Maddie gets excited when we do anything, anywhere, at any time, so it's hard to see a change in her behavior).

Apparently, he associates the frying pan with the resulting egg dinner, rather than the carton of eggs.  Today I had one egg left that was hitting its expiration date, so I decided to cook it for the dogs.  Since I was not making any for us, I just…

quick update on helix and emi

its been a little over a month since little helix entered our lives. its quite funny how things work out sometimes! 

emi has always been quite the diva and brat ever since the day we brought her home. she is definitely a very headstrong girl, and is sooo stubborn! it doesn't change how much we love her though! 

helix turned out to be such a sweet boy, the complete opposite of emi! hes more calm and doesnt always try to attack everyones face, but he also does not trust very…

Normal puppy behavior or not? HELP!

So it is the one week marker of my getting my Dilly Dog and I am getting a little nervous about how nasty she can be sometimes.I understand it's still new for her and she is adjusting and such, and I originally thought it was just with food that she got a little aggressive. But it's becoming a little more often now. When I pick her up she snarls and nips at me. She plays REALLY rough for a 9 week old puppy. And when she met my neighbors 7 week old puppy, she was really nasty there too. I…

The Real Purpose of a Crate--A Corgi's Point of View

I know a great majority of you out there are strong believers in crate training, and I certainly don't knock it, but I wasn't sure if you really understood the true purpose of a crate. So, I thought I would share with you how Brodie uses his crate.

Now, Kadi has had her wire crate in her x-pen right from the start and she used to sleep in it religiously. We never shut her up in it, because her pen is in the basement and that gave…

could this be complications from an IV?

Chloe had her teeth cleaned Friday.  The dentist put her on IV to sedate her.  Her teeth look great. The paw that had the IV is now painful to the touch.  I took her to the vet after she yelped and almost bit me.  I wonder if it could be something that happend with the IV?  She is not limping at all, but touch it and it is painful.  I got her some pain medication from the vet.  I am thinking of taking her back Friday if it does not improve.

2012 Corgi Walk in the Pearl

This past Saturday was the 5th annual corgi walk in the Pearl. We had a wonderful time and a rough count estimates there were 255 corgi's. Can you imagine seeing all of them in one place? It was fun and we literally stopped traffic, brought people out of stores and their homes in order to see our group. One of the funniest comments was a lady who just walked out of the store and saw us and exclaimed "it's the corgi walk. This is the best day of the year!" She then promptly bent down to pet…

Stitch's Story

Hello,

Stitch and I are new to My Corgi.  I wish I had known about it sooner.  I found this site while looking for help for my little Stitchy.  Sam's post on Mocha and Vienna came up in my search.

This is our story:

Stitch came to us 7 years ago at 3 months old, as a dog for our children, then ages 7 and 9.  I have to admit, when we saw him for the first time, I knew nothing about Corgi's and thought, " How in the world is he going to keep up with the kids with…

First week home, first blog post, first blah blah blah- Moral of the story- My dog is a blessing!

Delia is really something else. First, I have never had a puppy this young. 5 months had previously been my youngest. And Second, I have never had a small ish dog. My other dogs are a German Shepherd/blue heeler mix and a black lab. So when I got the unexpected email that there might be a puppy for me, I was all smiles. 

See, after expecting to be in a little born in June, I was informed that the mom did not have enough in her litter to get down to my name on the list. I was…

Oh Sammie.

I understand Sammie is part lab but she has a spot on Corgi body with a lab head attached. I saw the most beautiful pure corgi today which is rare here. I want one so bad!!!! But back on subject. Sammie brought me a mouse this morning and this wouldn't be the first time she brings me a dead friend... She brings me birds. She has never once eaten them just carries them around and brings them to me. So gross.

New Corgi Owner - Decision Made

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that we have decided to listen to our breeder and return our 12 week old corgi to her.  She's also the rescue coordinator for new england so she's either keeping him, or placing him with another experienced corgi person after she spends some time evaluating him.  We're heartbroken, but the dog just isn't happy here and so far hasn't brought us any joy because of all that.  It just didn't work out, wans't the right fit, and he'll be happier somewhere…

New Corgi Owner - Updated Advice Request

Hi there, i posted a blog a few days ago looking for some advice on our unaffectionate, timid new corgi.  So since then things havn't progressed and if anything he's regressed in his potty training.  My breeder thinks we should return our puppy to her because she thinks it's not a good fit and that the temperament test just didn't pan out.  She is the rescue coordinator for new england so he won't be going to some shelter or anything.  She'll most likely keep him or give him to another…

Naughty & Nice

Lucy is asserting her independence and her mischief by ignoring me completely when I call her. She will look up and right at me, pause, then bound off in another direction. Treats only work once, then after that the chase is on... She will come bounding back if I begin to walk away but never close enough for me to grab her collar to releash her. She will also come if I am with a friend and she or he calls her!! She doesn't mind the leash, but she has turned releashing her into a big chase…
