Hi guys, Pooka has yet to encounter a south Texas summer and I'm worried about her getting too hot (at least she'll probably calm down and not want to play fetch as much =P) I've been wanting to make my own dog bed for her because they're so expensive and none have really stricken me in their fabric choice. She really liked just this big pillow her friend Aurora had, so I figure that would be simple enough. I can even make it to have a cover for easy washing.



In looking up beds, I… Continue

They look so cute when illustrated!!

I have 3 webcomics to show y'all (two are by the same person)

Girly is a weird adventure comic (with occasional mature content) featuring a girl and her "sidekick". There is a corgi who wears glasses who lives in their town. He is very fast!…

...sometimes its just too much! This morning Pooka decided to wake up 45 minutes before us and kept scratching at her neck, causing her collar to spin around, her two tags clanking together unbareably. A din! A cacophony! If she wasn't scratching her neck, she's scratching her belly, or chewing on her haunches.



This isn't an abnormal thing. EVERY morning, when I let her out of the crate, as she follows me to the door to go out, she pauses every few feet to scratch. I open the door,… Continue

We were driving back from Colorado, leaving Friday at 7AM, to arrive back in San Antonio at 11PM after being gone for SIX DAYS) Luckily my sister was driving from College Station to SA at around 4PM, so she was able to pick up Pooka from my grandmother's house. Katie kind've looks like me and she said when she got there, Pooka was all crated up and barking at her incessantly (excited) and whined the whole car ride.



When we finally got there, I did not recognize the dog jumping over… Continue

hehe, please don't lynch me for this:



"Pooka's gone LOCO"

"HypnoCorgi, bow down!"

hehehehe, I found these at a garage sale. Best quarter I ever spent ^_^. She actually doesn't mind them too much, as long as I have them on right (not in her eye) and its been less than 30 seconds.



But THIS one:

she found some ear muffs on the ground earlier (we're going on a ski… Continue

... not really. My family and I are going on a ski trip to Colorado for a week (spring break!) but I can't get excited because I know I'll be missing Pooka (and I really really wanted to take her so she could play in snow). We went on a weekend trip to visit my college roommate in Wisconsin 2 weeks ago, and I was really missing her hard by the end of it. My mom said on the last day Pooka too was acting kind've mopey and getting excited to see my sister (who looks like me) even though she had… Continue

I may be a strange sort. I looove the sound of my puppies whining. It is just so cute! Everyone else can't believe how sad it is. How she sounds like she's dieing if she's secluded to a room or crate. But as her mother, I know there is nothing wrong and she is just being a baby, so I'm able to see through to how cute she sounds. I have a 15 minute video (mostly a sound recording, I wasn't worried about where the camera was pointing) from when Pooka was first crate training and so I left the… Continue

And apparently the groomer there breeds and shows corgis!! so we were very happy to meet her and she was happy to meet Pooka, whom she called Peanut, because she apparently looks just like him! ("Peanut" is also the common name for the runt of the litter)



I told her, we of course think Pooka is the prettiest (I never can see what's so special about the corgis you see at shows, none are as pretty as Pooka), but asked what she thought. I just never knew what's a fault and what a show… Continue

Pooka has lost all her front teeth and is now working on her molars. I have only managed to find ONE baby tooth as it was sitting on the couch and she was licking at it preparing to eat it. So I have a small molar on my mantle.



Today we were playing frisbee and suddenly she started, what looked like gagging, just reeaaally trying to get something out of her mouth. I went over and stuck my finger all around in there feeling for a problem until I noticed the blood along her top… Continue

Today we found out something very strange. We had always wanted to train Pooka to play dead when we pointed a 'finger gun' at her and said "Bang, you're dead" EVENTUALLY. Well zachary was playing around while I was training her the normal stuff and pointed his finger gun at her and said "POW" and she got scared and ran. We tested this out a few more times (she will also run if you say BANG, but not if you say PYEW PYEW). She will run to a corner and hide and look pathetic like she did something… Continue
