I have the sad task of finding a home for 2 Corgis belonging to a dear friend.  I have a couple good leads thanks to the Lincoln (NE) Corgi Group.  It is a daunting task trying to make sure I do the right thing by them. I have no experience re homing pets so any experience any of you can share would be much appreciated.  I have lined up a good home for my baby should something happen to me, but Sandy hasn't...and she won't be coming home from the hospital this time.  Her daughter asked for…

My ( grown) son's Corgi got hit by a car Sunday. He will survive but his leg is in bad shape and there a possibility he could lose it or be very lame...time will tell.  I'm posting this to reaffirm how great dog people are.  I posted on Facebook that we were looking to borrow an XL wire crate or X-pen to put him in as he gets more active....he is in a splint so our crates are not large enough.  Within probably 20 minutes I had offers from friends of 3 x-pens and a crate!  We compete in…

Murray HATES being combed and sheds the most of any Corgi we've had.  Even with lots of treats and threats it was a chore that I didn't do nearly often enough ( if there is such a thing with a Corgi ).  About a month ago a light bulb went off. I started with a relatively well groomed Corgi and now keep his comb on the counter right by where I feed him. Before each meal I run the comb through him for maybe 30-60 seconds and then give him his food.  He quickly figured out that he has to hold…

We got 4 perfect scores out of 5 runs at our last CPE trial.  You can tell by the look on Murray's face how much he loves it.  It's a blast...I highly recommend it.  Takes a bit to get the hang of it, but once you do it's addictive!

I finally got brave enough to enter Murray in his first agility trial.  The main reason I hadn't was that he has a habit of clipping jumps.  We have been working on it, but he seldom has a totally clean run.  I've come to the conclusion that the very thing that he has gotten praised for is the main problem: he watches me very closely.  You wouldn't think that would be a problem, but it takes his attention away from the jump, especially if he gets a little ahead of me.  Very frustrating.  He…
