Leela was brought into my fiance's coworker's home after she had been in a somewhat neglectful situation. She was very skinny and apparently food was thrown outside on the ground for a large group of dogs to eat. Their only water source was a hole dug in the dirt that was filled with water and was very muddy. Leela was covered in fleas and ticks, and when they started cleaning her off they started pouring out of her ears. A day later we came to meet her and it was love at first sight. Now, only… Continue

I work in at a school as a speech therapy assistant, and I'm working on my Master's over the summer. So I am in Flagstaff away from my fiance and my puppykins for a week at a time! I'm so sad. I have my MyCorgi calendar in my dorm so that helps a little bit. The June corgi, Steve, is so adorable! But I miss cuddling my fiance and my little Nibbler :(

She never gets a "doggy" smell, unless she steps or rolls in something horrible. She always smells so good, just like she did when she was a puppy. I remember when we first got her and I would just bury my nose in her fur and rue the future in which she wouldn't smell like puppy heaven, but she still does.

And the thought crossed my mind, maybe she could do therapy? It has been something that I talked about with my boyfriend, and something I have considered doing. But it wasn't… Continue

Below is my boyfriend's mom's dog Pepper, with my puppy Nibbler. We're not quite sure what mix Pepper is, but the people at the shelter thought she might be part corgi. She has short fur and has a very light bone structure, maybe part chihuahua, or part dachshund? She is a sweet dog anyway, but what do you think?…

Only another 3 weeks to go! I just went to Petsmart and got all the stuff I think I will need initially. Plus a few things I won't need for a while :) but it's because I'm so excited! I even went online and planned out some rest stops from the breeder's house to our house, and made up a mini schedule for our puppy's meals and potty times. Actually I think I'm preparing like crazy because while I'm excited, I'm also a little nervous. Not only is this the first dog I'm adopting as an adult, but… Continue
