Wow, I haven't posted here in my blog for a long time!

 

Joshua is doing well. His leg healed nicely from his injury in the Spring of 2009. The only reminder of it is when he runs down the stairs in our house - he runs down on just 3 legs still! But other than that he seems to use that injured leg normally and doesn't ever seem to be in any pain. He's also been maintaining a healthy weight (especially for a corgi) - he's about 36-37 lbs. which is perfect for a male Cardigan. In…

I realized that I haven't posted here much recently, so it seems to be time for an update on my baby, Joshua!



Two months ago I got laid off from my job. The bright side of this otherwise not-so-bright situation was that I'd have lots of time to be with Joshua this spring. I had plans for lots of play time, lots of walks, and lots of trips to his favorite local dog park.

My husband and I are taking Joshua to our first corgi meet-up event today! I'm really looking forward to meeting some other local corgi owners and seeing all the cute corgis bounding around the park we're meeting at for a group walk. I am sure Joshua will have a blast. :)

Well, Joshua did very well while Jason and I were on vacation for a few days last week! :) My mother-in-law stayed at our house with him (and our kitties).

Of course, she lured him to her with a treat…and along came several other… Continue

Thanks for the warm welcome, everyone! :)



I am part of a community called "corgilove" on www.livejournal.com (which is how I found out about www.mycorgi.com, incidentally), but it's great to have an additional place to talk about and see adorable pictures of corgis! I also found a local corgi meet-up group online over the weekend. My husband and I are looking forward to taking Joshua to their next gathering to play with some fellow corgis at the beach!



This weekend we took… Continue

When we put Susie to sleep last November, my husband created a memorial for her on the Rainbow Bridge website. He really took losing her very hard, but writing about her, remembering her, sharing photos of her, and talking with others who have lost beloved pets really helped him deal with his grief.
