Day 50! Traveling With a 5 mo Corgi?

Hi everyone! So sorry that I dissapeared for a long time...Caught up in puppy life and figuring out he balance. I think we've got it down pretty good now. 

Nugget has grown like a weed and is healthy, thank goodness! We've had him for 50 days thus far and he got his last shot today! Woohoo! Time to show this pup the world!

Literally! I'm going home to Chicago for the month of may to be a temp at my old job for a girl's maternity leave. I'm nervous yet excited.…

Hands full!

I swear I didn't go MIA! I've just been sooo busy with Nugget, Im sure you all understand.

Scare #2: Nugget has Giardia. Got it from one of Lindsay's new pups. I was FUMING! Very upset. 



Scare #3: Ate an earplug. Oh boy. 200$ in x-rays and induced vomiting, lots of confusion as to if he even ate it or not, poops it out a day later. UGH. 

Progress: Sit, Lay Down, Paw, NO BITE, NO! and thats about it! lol! 

Its been a wild ride but I…

Looks Sweet, But Giving Me A Run For My Money!

Well...My husband beat me to the punch. Nugget sees him as the alpha dog. He listens to Tony but not me!!! But...He knows that I'm definitely his momma (that can be taken advantage of). Tony mowed the small lawn we have today with our push mower, you should have seen Nugget's ears standing straight up and shaking! hahaha! It was hilarious. He would run towards it like the little runt could actually do something to it, then come run and hide between my legs. Cutie. He seems to tolerate…

The First Scare!

Well only 3 days home so far and my little Nugget has roundworms. :( Not happy about that! With his hernia and all I am super paranoid because bloat would be more detrimental in him than others! The poor little guy...I hope he's okay! Just can't seem to get comfy. Maybe that's a puppy thing? I started him on panacur today so hopefully everything goes smoothly. 

For the most part it has! He did very well at the vet, slept most of the time, like he always does! (FOR NOW!) And…

Bliss

Pure puppy bliss! I am so happy and proud to be a corg mommy! What an eventful day our family had yesterday :)

We started our journey at about 11am knowing we had a 3 hour car ride ahead of us to Wittman, AZ! But of course...we had to stop in Goodyear to get a chicken sandwich at Red Robin! Mmm... Living in the middle of nowhere sometimes gets ya realllll excited for normal food! 

Onward! I knew only about 40 minutes away there was a little Nug waiting for me!…

SATURDAY!!

Its almost here! Ive been on the edge of my seat for what seems like forever...Only five more days until I get to hold my little Nugget!!! Lindsay has been in touch with me almost every day and sending me pics. I'm so glad I stuck with her, she has helped me along the way so much. I'm sure it will be worth every second of the wait! Ive been spending my free time making bandanas and bowties for the little guy. I'm crazy...I know. But the title Crazy Corgi Lady is something I'm not ashamed…

Fur future reference...

Hi everyone! Only 14 more days left! Making some last adjustments to the house and trying to get everything in order for the arrival. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the great advice, each one of your inputs truly helps! Which brings me to my next point...I have a few questions!

1. Furminators. I understand I need one and I was looking at getting the Medium Long Hair model with the vacuum attachment. I found it on amazon for 40.95. Have any of you used it before?…

First Time Corg-Mom Anxiety

17 More days until the little Nugget comes home! I can't wait! Sometimes I feel like its way too long to wait, and other times I feel like I don't have enough time to get everything done! LOL! Im just nervous/excited I suppose. My next venture is finding a vet for my little guy. As a first time dog owner I can easily be taken advantage of, and being new to the area makes it even worse. Yuma is sort of in the middle of nowhere and care is sort of limited...to my knowledge at…

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Went to see my Nugget on Sunday only to leave and have a sudden onset of flu like symptoms! The three hour car ride home was spent praying my throat wouldn't close. I know what youre thinking, and no, I don't believe that I'm…

Looking forward to Sunday! :)

Big things coming up:

1)Trip home to Chicago for grandma's arrangements

2) Meeting Nugget for the first time!

Today was a lot easier for me emotionally. New life is such a beautiful thing. I know my Gram is smiling down on me and I have to admit, it is nice having an angel. We are leaving on Monday out of Phoenix for a 10 day…

The miracle pup

Just when it seems like everything is going wrong...

My beloved grandmother passed away this morning in the presence of her two daughters. Being out of state, this hit me pretty hard. I spent the day crying until my body hurt.  Until...

After 8 months of waiting, searching, longing, and many unsuccessful litters...against all…
