they're so adorable! :D

Beautiful little girl!!! She is precious!

Oakley reminds me of Sirius, our first corgi who was also the runt of the litter, and one of the smartest dogs ever.
We now have two corgis also, and I like to see these social animals have each other to beat up on and tear each others' throats out repeatedly in so many creative ways. Utterly charming, good company.

Hi! Oakley is precious! Can't wait to see Griffen all grown up!

Yes, Kate those are English saddles in Oklahoma, while I deal mainly with POAs, there is a large contingency of Hunters in Tulsa and a large hunter show at the Tulsa Fairgrounds (Expo Square) in December. Whisper & I will be in Stillwater on September 6 & 7 for a show at the Payne County Fairgrounds if you'd like to come over.

Oakley's adorable! I love picture 19/60, where you're all sleeping on each other in the car.

Thanks for the add, your babies are adorable!

I have a red & white Griff, toooooo! He's a Fluffy, and officially his name is Griffith, but that name only comes out when he's really naughty. What an adorable addition to your family, have fun with his puppyhood! :)

No problem! Thank you! I LOVE talking to people in Oklahoma too! WOW! Enid is not too far from where I live! We need to have an Oklahoma corgi meet. That would be awesome.

OMIGOODNESS! Your corgi is so cute!!!!! Hello to a fellow Oklahoma corgi owner!

Hello Kate! It's true that I don't really live anywhere close to OK, but I just really like the breeder and am not willing to let the distance be a hassle for me. Anyhow, I noticed that your hometown is Kalispell and I was also born in Kalispell! How random is that! It is after all, a very small world!

Hi Kate! Thanks for the friend add. As far as the bell-training goes, I just used a little cowbell that I had and tied it on a shoelace around the shelf next to my front door. Suzy is kennel-trained, so what I did to train her was to take her out of the kennel and use her paw to ring the bell before I carried her outside. We walked around until she went and then went back inside- no playing around. I did at least a week of constantly following her around the apartment and taking her out every single time she looked even remotely interested in the floor ;-) Every time I took her out, I used her paw to ring the bell. Every time she had an accident, I soaked it up with a paper towel and then rang the bell and took her out. It took her about 3 days to figure out that the bell meant outside. I was extremely generous with the verbal praise whenever she used it! I never did use treats, and she was consistently ringing the bell after about 5 days. We have only had a handful of accidents since then, and I say "we" because most of them were my fault for not reacting quickly enough. The main thing about the bell is that she kind of uses it anytime she is bored instead of just for potty, so that gets a little annoying. I've learned to distinguish between frantic potty ringing and "I'm bored" ringing. Sorry this is so long, but let me know if you have more questions!

Griff is one of the most gorgeous corgi's I've ever seen. Wonderful- don't stop taking pics! I love the puppy phase and as kiyo approaches her big 1 year birthday, we'll finally have to stop taking so many pics of her too :)

Hi Kate...I ended up in Alabama when my dad took a job here. My mom was ill and couldn't take the winters up home...so here I am. Quite a culture shock.

Thanks for the comment! I love your pics! Do your corgis and your cat get along? My mom has a tabby that looks just like Maggie, but his name is Buddie. At first he wanted nothing to do with Mia, but started to warm up to her, now he goes around the house looking for her (not that shes too hard to find) he does this funny swatting thing to her, like playing tag. It's quite hysterical.

Growing up my grandma always said I was a misplaced farm girl. It would be hard to move back to town...but without horses and all I would save a bundle of cash...I don't think the dogs could handle the transition. Thanks for your kind comments.

Thanks for all the good info. I was leaning towards nylon myself, but I appreciate the brand suggestion. I guess I do need to ask the breeder about the collar, she did say she was the big girl in the litter!

I love the green colors behind her in the pic, makes her look so regal!
Thanks. I am so glad they get along. Daisy is quite the puppy. But Duke is used to her and they love to horseplay in the mornings while we get ready for work. She is part corgi and part min pinscher we think. She has a great lil temperament for Duke. :-)
