Rattlesnakes - The New Enemy!

Today we took Sidney to rattlesnake avoidance training. Wow, it's hard to hear your baby yelp like that and become so scared, but he passed with flying colors. There are so many rattlers in our area that I feel better knowing that now he will avoid them!

The train in three phases. The first was Sight and Scent recognition. Sidney was very curious about the snake, but he… Continue

Mudhead!

Hi, this is Sidney the corgi again!

I went to the dog park last Sunday and had a lot of fun...until my mom decided I looked hot and she got...get this...water all over my head! She knows how I feel about WATER! Grr! Yeah sure I felt cooler, but I did not like the water. So as soon as she set me down, I found the biggest patch of dirt at the park and rolled and rolled in it, making sure to get all that nasty water off! Mom was yelling at me (and laughing at the same time), I don't know… Continue

Sidney's First Birthday

We bought Sid a couple toys too. One is just a fuzzy dot that squeeks,… Continue

"If I didn't have dogs"

(not written by me, but I loved it and wanted to share)

If I didn't have dogs

I could walk around the yard barefoot in safety.

My house could be carpeted instead of tiled and laminated.

All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture, and cars would be free of hair.

When the doorbell rings, it wouldn't sound like a kennel.

New Dog Park fun!

Hi everyone, it's Sidney the corgi!

Today we went to check out another dog park. See, our town does not have a leash-free park, so we get to drive to other towns and see what their parks are like.

Today we went to a park in Rancho Bernardo. It's about 20 minutes from home, but it was worth the time spent in the car! It was a nice big area, divided into three areas: one for big dogs, one for small dogs, and one for all dogs. We went to play in the all dogs area. I had such a… Continue
