So it's been a little over a week since I've had "Jack", who I've decided to rename "Mickey". Now to get him a proper tag. So here's a little update on how we're doing...

I took him to the vet earlier this week, and she said that he needed to wear an e-collar again (that is the cone of shame for anyone that doesn't know. Haha.) because he's been licking his neuter suture, and he's been biting at his butt area. I was worried that he has fleas, but she combed him and said it…

Well, Jack has been here for just about 24 hours now. And I can honestly say, I love this puppy!

Jack was a show prospect before he came to live with me, so he's never learned any of those "silly" things like "sit" or "stay". But he's one of the most polite puppies I've ever met! He doesn't try to eat everything, and if he does, a stern "no" will usually deter him. He does lick... kinda a lot though. Not sure if this will be a problem or not, since I'm not a huge fan of dog…

Talked to the breeder today. Jack's flying out here tomorrow night! By this time tomorrow, he should already be here! :] I'm so excited!!! We had a slight hiccup earlier since Jack went to the vet, and the vet found out he developed hematoma at his incision site, but he should be fine with some antibiotics. Which I will now have to learn to feed to him. Haha.

Today I went pet supply shopping. Spent a good... almost $200. And that's without all the crate stuff, and the x-pen!…

Being part of this site has only been a very short part of my dog-wanting life, but I'm very, very happy to report that a payment has been made, and contracts reviewed... Finally, after almost 20 years of waiting... I'm getting a puppy. :]

Everyone, meet "Jack"!

(Totally grabbed this photo from the breeder's fb. Haha. Hope she doesn't…

So how long does everyone usually wait for a response before giving up on a breeder?

I found a breeder on puppyfind (after sifting through all the suspicious ones...) who looks decent, and might prove to be good depending on how my tons of questions are answered... But it's been almost a week and a half and still no response. I've emailed, called and left a message, and messaged through puppyfind. Still nothing yet.

I suppose it's possible that they're really busy... But I'm…

This is a cute post on 9gag. Not corgi related, but definitely so true! Wish more people would understand a dog's body language. They try so hard to tell us things and most people just ignore them cuz they can't understand.

So I've been looking around for breeders again... Just in case someone has something that I want. I know I shouldn't be impatient when it comes to making a big decision like getting a dog, but I admit... it's been more than 15 years that I've been waiting! It's hard to stay patient and not make rash decisions. And most breeders that I've contacted seem to be not good about replying to a 2nd email... I'll usually get one reply, and then nothing after that. It's a bit…

So today I stopped by the pet store that's really close to my house, just to check out what they have. Considering that it wasn't a huge store, I was really quite impressed that they had 2 aisles of different premium grain free foods! They had canned and dry stuff. And the lady at the counter who looked like she might be the owner, when I asked her what she suggested, said she recommended grain free. She also mentioned things like, feeding grain free isn't more expensive cuz you have to feed…

Yay first blog post on here.

I think I found my "dream corgi" today. Except... he's in the Netherlands. Haha. Literally half the world away. And I'm still unsure whether I should get a puppy right now. Though, my birthday is coming up at the end of the month... Maybe I can convince my parents to get me a puppy for my birthday. Haha. When I half jokingly mentioned it to my mom on the phone the other day, she actually said "maybe". That's something I never thought I would…
