So, I've had Wydget for a little more than a month now and it's an EXPERIENCE.

OMG.

I've *never* had two dogs at once, let alone a puppy and an adult. It's *crazy*.

Zephyr is taking to the baby waaaaaay better than I thought she would! They're actually play buddies now! At first Zephyr had no idea what the little fuzzball was. But…

We've decided to call the puppy Wydget!

The breeder sent me Easter photos!

She's going to come pre-trained in fetch!

SO CUTE.…

So all of my ideas for puppy names have been shot down so far. If I like it, someone else in my family doesn't. If they all like it, I *hate* it. It's getting really frustrating because they're trying to be silly and joking around, which is fine every once and a while, but naming a puppy is a lot like naming a baby. I figure I just won't know until I meet her in person.

So far the next runners up (by that I mean the family…

I'm back! With news!

As of the middle of April I will be getting a new Pem puppy! She's BLUE! Not merle, just BLUE. It's adorable! I'm all about the odd colored corgis!

We're thinking about calling her Lyra. Is that a good name for a doggy?

She's #2. SO CUTE!

On news, Zephyr had her…

It's been a long time since I've been on.



Zephyr is oneandahalf ish. She's doing well. She apparently has a reaccuring ear infection that the vet thinks is caused by some kinda irritation due to spring. I don't blame the puppy, I'm irritated by spring too.



She's getting much better about riding in the car. She was very scared at first and kinda just cowered in her seat or on my lap. (She's very big now to be doing that, 21 pounds last vet visit). But now that we've been… Continue

I've been contemplating the idea for a couple days. I think that my next tattoo will be a little corgi silhouette on my ankle. I love my dog and I don't think I ever want to own any other kind of dog and this would be a permanent proof of my corgi-love.

I understand that tattoos are permanent. I have one already so I know they hurt, lol. I just wonder what people think.

So, what do you think? A nice little corgi silhouette, with or without "real dogs don't have tails".

Zephyr's spay incision got infected. According to the vet it is "normal" for her breed to get infections because they're such an active dog. I certainly wasn't expecting it! It didn't start until about a week ago, three-ish weeks after her surgery. It got REALLY swollen and very fluid filled, but not draining. I was worried, so I had my boyfriend take her to the vet at the first possible moment. But like I said the vet just said it was normal and sent him away (thank god they didn't charge me… Continue

So the dreaded thing has come to pass! Nothing bad, just Zephyr getting spayed. I had debated with myself LONG and HARD about whether I wanted to get it done, or breed her later. But I decided this is the more reasonable, responsible path. Not that I won't miss someday having itty bitty spotty corgi puppies.



Zephyr is recovering well, her incision looks terrible, but normal. If that makes any sense.



They had to pull her last two puppy fangs because the vet said they… Continue

I was looking through puppyfind.com because I like looking at all the cute little puppies. It's where I found Zephyr, so I know that some people on there are honest. I found… Continue

Zephyr only has ONE puppy front tooth. The fangs are still there, but all of the little front teeth have fallen out except for one loner dangling by a vessel. You can see her big girl teeth are already starting to come in! I'm sooo surprised how fast the process is. It's only been like 5 days and she's already growing new teeth in! Those are the most obvious ones, I'm sure she's getting new molars in too, but I wouldn't know the difference and it's not as cute as her gap-tooth grin.

Zephyr must've lost the second one last night because I checked this morning and the tooth right next to yesterday's hole is gone! If she keeps going at this rate soon she's not going to have any front teeth!

Secretly I know that the white kitty must be knocking them out. That's why Muffle looks so smug every time she walks by Zephyr's kennel.

Zephyr lost her first tooth today! Or at least the first one that's noticable, lol. It's one of the front bottom ones. Gives her a cute gap tooth smile! I know this is just the first step into the chewing everything phase, but I'm happy because I think it's a big milestone.
