Here is what I learned from yesterday's interior painting...1.) Oil based paint fumes are toxic to animals. I thought I would have to take Amy to the emergency vet with neurological and emotional distress. 2.) The burners on your gas stove burn the paint fumes and turn them into something that smells like kerosene and makes you think you are about to die. 3.) Corgis are like furry cockroaches and none of the above…

So Hubby has started this thing with Logan that whenever we are getting ice out of the frig door Logan comes over for an ice cube.  Hubby tells Logan they are "popsicles".  Logan likes them even even though they are plain-flavored.  Last night Twinkie saw the commotion at the frig and got in line for a popsicle.   Logan got his and ran off with his treat.  Twinkie got hers, put it down at my feet and looked at me and said (telepathically), "This is NOT a popsicle.  It is an icecube,  What…

Today (Well yesterday but I like to celebrate the dogs' birthday on other holidays so they are easy to remember. The two-legged kids won't let me do that.) is Logan's first birthday!  The carrot/peanut butter cake is made and he might get a trip to Petsmart later.  Look for more pictures…

One of the Groupon  deals today in Atlanta is 16X20 gallery-wrapped retro art print from Imagekind.  One of the prints is called "Corgi Coffee."  To the see selection scroll down to the bottom of the "what you get" box.  

These are pretty cute but I just got the bill for framing my latest corgi art purchases and I have been cute off.  Enjoy!

Mrs.Brown's dog is very old and unwell. The kids are trying to figure out a way to tell her that its time to put the dog down. Very funny. Click to watch. …

A gift for me that is!  I want one of these pillows from Red Envelope for Mother's Day but I don't know what to put on the second line.

I want the red pillow for a place of prominence on a black leather chair in our living room. The first line will say "TWINKIE".  And I think the second line should say something about how…

Someone sent this around on that other, large social network site but I thought you all would enjoy it.  You  will have to get all the way to the end for the big pay off.

PS-Who knew bunnies were such a-holes?

Baby boy was just dropped off for his procedure.   I was feeling very guilty as I prepared to leave him at the vet BUT then he whizzed on a pillar in their office.  Way to strengthen my resolve Logi!  The very worst part?  Not feeding the gang this morning.  Twinkie and Logan were looking at me like I had lost my mind while I was making breakfast for my son.  What did they get?  Nothing!  Everyone who knows anything knows that corgis need their noms or will die of starvation within the hour!…

I have finally gotten the gang all microchipped!  I had written a few months ago that I didn't think I could afford it as I thought there was an annual fee attached to each chip and with three dogs, it was too much for me to pay.  Thanks everyone for setting me straight.  Another big thanks needs to go to a friend who gave me a heads up to a daily deal site that offered half price on microchipping through the local ASPCA.  I was able to get vouchers for all three dogs to get chips for…

You have to leave notes like this...

I find myself just sick with sadness today.  I woke up and checked Facebook and saw that two friends are trying to find homes for abandoned dogs they have found.  The past few week have been full of similar posts on numerous sites I follow.  To top if it off, some one posted a picture of a dog with the upper part of its face blown off.  It was the result of kids putting a high-powered fire cracker in it's mouth!!  I can never unsee that image and I have been thinking about it all day.  I…

I looked out into the backyard this morning and way in the back I saw Twinkie just sitting there.  Right in front of her was Logan, laying on his back being very still.  I imagined a scene where Twinkie came in, without Logan, and I asked where he was.  When she broke into song, here is what she would sing...

Sometimes...you go to kill the puppy
