Im getting that feeling i got almost 4 years ago... it was what started with me wanting to get Ace.. i refer to it as puppy blues.. and part of me thinks its because I miss buffy and i miss the fact of there being 2! Dogs in the house.. not to mention i feel bad for Ace being left at home with no one to play with while im at School.. I cant take him with me to School with me right now for his safety's sake.. Chemistry Lab and Biology labs... I know they make safety goggles for dogs.. buuut there is the chance he could lick a chemical on the floor and I DONT want that.. so for now until the labs are  done Ace stays at home.. and i feel bad.. 
SO ANYWAYS.. the fact i miss having 2 dogs.. the fact that Ace doesnt have anyone other then my mom when she is home.. to play with (and she doesnt really play with him but takes naps with him) there is about 5 hours a day he wants to play that he cant.. so.. im getting the puppy blues and want to get another puppy lol

not to mention a majority of the ladies im around are pregnant... again like they were right before i got Ace LOL

I think im going to wait until later this yearto start puppy searching. because I DO want a playmate for Ace.. and Later this year i will be moving out and into a place hopefully big enough for 2 puppys.. no matter what Ace will always be my puppy LOL

Speaking of Ace.. i dont know if its the way he walks or if its just his nails were cut weird.. but he filed the one nail on his left paw down far enough with walking yesterday that when i played with him with the hose he tripped over something in the yard and it caused his nail to bleed.. like bad. i put pressure on it i put ice on it.. finally i made him stay laid down for a few hours and wrapped his paw up in a towel.. thankfully doing that and keeping him from licking it.. the bleeding stopped.. poor thing he woke up a little sore.. i shouldnt of let him play with the hose yesterday.. i feel bad. like a bad owner.. he is a little limpy on the driveway but in the hosue and the yard he isnt.. i think the rocks in our driveway are a little to rough on his still tender paw.. though this excersize DID do us good... because he is very whiney about people holding his front paws.. he could careless about his back ones from me manipulating tthouse when he was little.. but his front ones he dislikes people touching.. but because of it being hurt.. i kept up our routine of "paw" which he then handsme his paw.. but in doing so me messing with the hurt nail i am able to put pressure on it and check it out. I think I MIGHT buy him booties when i get paid next to help his little feet out

anyways he seems to be doing alright now
anyone else have a problem with their corgis nails chipping or getting hurt like that... because his nail seems normal aside from a chip and the one side being worn down.

We have not had good luck with booties.....They just do not seem to fit our fellows large paws and short legs.....I bought some infant size socks with the treads on the bottom and use a strip of velcro to secure......Make sure you can return any booties that do not work for you....They get expensive, we bought two pair before throwing in the towel and going with the socks.  :)

When Brodie showed up here I knew he had traveled a great distance because his nails were worn to the quick and his pads were really rough, almost callused, plus he had NO hair sticking through between his pads. I wonder if it's not partly because of their short legs that they were their nails down quicker? Not really sure.

I understand the puppy blues. Just before Brodie showed up, the breeder I got Kadi from showed me pics of her newest litter. I had to really argue with myself because I wanted one! Lucky for me Brodie arrived just in the nick of time or I'm sure I would have ended up getting another puppy! They're just so darn cute and they grow up so fast!
