Banzai has always had this tiny bit of a habit of hooking his bottom jaw under his collars and chewing on them. I have probably only seen him do it about 10 times max since I've been putting collars on him. But today I wake up, go into the living room, and spot something chewed up on the floor. I wonder, what on earth it can be since my mom closes off her room from him now? He used to go in there to get things to chew on. Then I realize it's his pretty blue collar.



At first I was… Continue

I just spent a month away from my FuzzyButt baby. I went to see my boyfriend up in Washington State. I was worried about taking Banzai with me since my connecting flight was in Chicago. American Airlines has a weather restriction when it comes to pets traveling in cargo. Below 40 degrees a vet needs to sign a waver stating that the animal can withstand the temperatures. But anything below 20 something degrees is not allowed. So I opted to play it safe and left Banzai home with my mom. It is a… Continue

I keep getting invites from "Corgis for McCain & Palin." First off, this is a site about corgis not ones' political views. Secondly I might be Independent but I will NOT accept propaganda from this website. I get enough of that crap sent to me by mail. Thirdly I ALREADY VOTED, and for your information it was not for McCain. How DARE you use this site as propaganda!



I am here to talk with people about corgis. Not be pulled into some political BS by someone who thinks it's funny or… Continue

I took Banzai out to go potty, and on our way in I see him pick up a plastic sandwich bag. I take the bag from him and toss it away. But when we got inside I saw that he had something else in his mouth. I asked "what do you have," which is normally our sign to him that he has something he knows he is not supposed to. I reach in to grab it. He turns away quickly and then SNAP. He bites me.



Needless to say I was shocked. Outside of playing around he has never bit any of us. Even when… Continue

*flails* I can't tell whether Banzai is a red/wht or sable. I have AKC papers that I have yet to fill out, and I can't do it because I am not sure what color he is going to be. The whole litter looked to be red/wht. That is what I have down so far. But Banzai is still so dark and the black in him looks to be spreading, and staying. Some red is coming in along his withers, but he has that skull cap. His ears are not black tipped or outlined, but he has a lot of black around his hind quarters. I… Continue

Well Banzai is hitting the adolescent stage. How can we tell? The biting. You can be sitting on the couch with your hands resting in your lap, and he'll charge up his stairs just to attack and gnaw on your hands. We remove his steps from the couch and set him down on the floor. He then walks a little ways and pees. Why yes, the good old defiance pee. That, "I'm angry at my father and you can't tell me what to do," pee.



We try to give him his toys but the second he sees your hands, he… Continue

First off just let me say that I love this dog. Lovelovelovelovelove.....



Secondly, OMFG* he takes it out of you! I feel tired constantly but I am happy at the same time. Strange...



Bringing him home was easy. Banzai slept through the later half of our trip. But he was thirsty and wanting something to chew on at first. He loves his PetStages teething stick, I think it is his favorite toy. Well next to the small Bobo toy.



Banzai is so well behaved, I was worried… Continue

I just found THIS awesome bomber jacket on there. Ryan bought it for me with his last bit of money. I love this man.

I have been dying to get a bomber jacket for Banzai. This one is perfect. Of course we'll have to wait till he gets older to put it on him. The size is perfect, and even though it says large the sleeves aren't long, 20" from neck to tail (or lack there of). Now for the leather collar and aviator hat.

These are the thoughts of my boyfriend Ryan whom I dragged along to the meet.



So, Jen woke me up this morning so we could go out to a corgi meet she heard about on mycorgi.com. I figure it would be nice to meet some other corgis and their owners, and possibly some of the people she's been talking to on the website. We got there with minimal trouble, a LOT less than when we went to go see Banzai in person... THAT was a hell of a trip.



We mingle, we schmooze, and… Continue

We got lost about 5 times and was 30 minutes late. Even worse I forgot my cell phone.



Once we were there we got greeted by Courtney (the momma of Indy, Banzai, Olive, and Mia), Beauty (5 month tri puppy), Ruby (fatest black sausage I have ever seen), Robin (Ella and Reese's mother), and Angel (a sweetheart red/white). LOL Celeste is so sweet. She told us everything about the night they were born. Courtney went into premature labor, and that's why a lot of the boy pups died. Indy, and… Continue

Today is the day that I get to visit Banzai. I cannot take him home till 2 more weeks. I am so excited I can hardly think straight. I have his bag ready and packed with goodies. I left Celeste an e-mail letting her know when we are heading out, and to contact me on my cell. Oh my gosh we are leaving in an hour! I can't take it! *squeals and runs in circles*



I promise to take video and lots of pictures. The camera is fully charged and in my bag. I'm wondering if I should bring… Continue

Ryan and I have talked about this subject off and on throughout the past few weeks. Seeing as how I own three cats, catnip is always an item we have in the house. After seeing my cats get "high," Ryan wondered if there was an herb that does the same thing for dogs. I told him that there probably was. After all cinnamon is catnip for tigers.



Our curiosity is constantly piqued by this thought. It's such a strange question that I want to ask it here. Have any of you ever wondered about… Continue

I signed Banzai up for puppy classes last week. He will be starting on Aug. 17th. My ultimate goal is the Canine Good Citizen coarse. That way if anyone wants to say that my puppy is a bad dog I can shove that certificate in their face.



I have all items needed for the class except my puppy, and treats. I even got a bag (that matches his collar I might add) to store them all in. Well not the puppy, he will be on lead beside me.



Today I went to Target (thanks for the tips… Continue

Hello everyone, its ME little Banzai. Guess what. My eyes opened recently! Yay! I can't see much now, everything is still a blur. But for some reason I kept seeing these bright flashes for a while.

I'm about as photogenic as my human mom. I can't help it! I didn't know… Continue

I want to go so, so bad to the meet. I want to get out and meet new people, be around corgis, and have fun but there is a problem. I can't drive. T_T My mom works at night, and sleeps during the day. I have no friends, and on top of it all Ryan, my boyfriend, doesn't have a license.



I put that I might go, but it doesn't look possible to me now. I want to ask my mom if she could take me, but she is so stressed that I don't want to add another thing to her worries. Is there anyone who… Continue
