Thanks.  And we love it here; it's easy to forget we're in LA when you're surrounded by trees and craftsman houses.  Oh, and Corgis; there are a lot of Corgis in this little town!  

All I can say, is Tenby and Chepstow are two blessed little Corgis ! Enjoy your fall art shows !

I'm glad you mentioned that you replied on the Rv'ing Corgis page because I hadn't seen it.

It's wonderful that Tenby is doing so well.   How in the world did you ever find out about him in the first place ? He's a blessed little Corgi to have been found by you !

It won't be long and we'll have a new Corgi, and if we get a girl I'll be sure to let you know so Tenby and Chepstow will have a heads up about meeting a potential girlfriend in their camping travels.

Hi Joyce

We would love to come for a visit. We usually come to Nashville in June for the CMA festival.   When we were in Michigan last month the boys found a cute corgi girlfriend at the RV park.  We just love finding corgi's on our travels.  I am sure it is hard for you without Winston, my thoughts are with you.

You asked about our free spirited wild child........yes that is Tenby. If you look at my 1st Aug 9th post you will see one reason why he is our "crazy tri".  Tenby is a rescue and lived in a small kennel his first 6 months.  When we got him (at 6 months) he had no muscle mass and was afraid of his own shadow.

At 18 month a developed a limp. After xrays from the orthopedic vet they decided that due to his poor nutrition and in activity his shoulders didn't develop correctly and he would probably have to be put down by the time he was 3.

He was on 3 pain pills a day for a few years, but now he is just on 1 and is 6 years old.  Our vet isn't sure what caused the stabilization, but who cares!!!

I love the way you call Tenby a free spirited wild child.  Do you mind if I ask why he takes pain medication ? 

Your Corgi's are just beautiful !  Our 10 1/2 year old Corgi Winston just passed away two weeks ago.  Needless to say we're grieving terribly and I'm spending a lot of time online looking at Corgi sites and all night long I dream about Corgi's !   : )  Ours began to gain weight a couple of years ago despite a controlled diet and exercise.  We lowered his food intake just a little bit and he began to lose weight very slowly.  Unfortunately he developed diabetes and for a period of time we didn't know he had it because he was a happy healthy acting dog and his blood work was normal.   By the time we found out he had diabetes it had done some damage and a problem developed that he was not able to overcome even though he had very good specialized veterinary care.  I find myself asking other Corgi owners how much their dogs weigh because in a lot of photos other people's dogs look the same size as ours.   I can't help being concerned that other people's Corgis will develop diabetes and not know it.  Checking a dog's glucose levels isn't really a normal part of a dog check up, but because of our experience I recommend it.  

They do have cabins to rent which are tiny.  My husband and I rented an RV from them.  They are set up with a large deck and a couple of them have small fenced in yards.

We liked it too because no children are allowed.  We have gone places before where the kids will not leave our dogs alone.  Our Corgis go to dog parks to play with other dogs, not to be held by kids that won't let go.  The no children policy takes care of that problem.

On the weekends they have social events.  Special breakfasts, potlucks, dog training, craft classes, cooking classes, etc.  That is all listed on their events page and it varies every weekend.  The week after we left they were having Corgi-ritaville.  (Like Margaritaville)  The regulars were decorating their RVs with lights and displays.  There was going to be a big party that weekend, but alas we had to get back to work.

Our dogs loved running everyday with other dogs and hanging out by the pond.  We also tried the agility equipment and just let them explore all the areas.  I wish it was not so far for us because we would go there for weekends and such, but it is 10 1/2 hours of pure driving time for us.  It could be a few year before we return.

Hope you get a chance to visit their campground.  It is great to go places where your dogs are welcome and not just tolerated.

I am curious where you go with the RV in the pictures.  My husband and I just went to Rutherfordton, NC and rented an RV at 4 Paws Kingdom.  The place is set up for dogs with 8 dog parks on the campsite.  The owners have 2 corgis.  It was a great vacation.  Have you heard of the place?

You already have the Calming treats don't you? I can't remember for sure if you had them or if it was somebody else....They sell them at places like Petco and they are in a light blue and cream colored package. They seemed to help Kirby. Or you can get Rescue Remedy. Benadryl/Diphenhydramine works well too on some dogs, you can give up to 1 mg per pound every 8-12 hours so that might do good to make him drowsy. It makes Frank crazy though and I've never tried it with Kirby. Those are all I can think of off the top of my head for over-the-counter stuff. A lot of Kirby's sedatives/anxiety meds are prescription, Alprazolam works the best by far for Franklin but Ace works best for Kirby, maybe your vet can give you a supply to keep on hand for traveling?

Yes the RV park sounds cool. Don't know if we could commit to that length trip since my husband is not retired but would love to do it.  

Glad that you're ok...as for my finger I can "thank" Livvy and Bella...we had a female hormone thing going on, Bella was out by Livvy's goats and Livvy snuck out, I knew immediatly it was a bad situation but neither would come to me. So I broke up a battle had each one by their collar and when I got them separated and got in the house I looked at my hand and knew it was bad...no bites but I have a plate and 6 screws in the one finger portion and never knew how hard it is to not use one hand...it will take quite awhile for it to mend...darn dogs...but I love them and that's part of having unfixed females.

We have been busy too, my husband just had 3 months of cancer treatment(it's gone:), 17 pups(1st litters in over 18 months) and I broke my finger and had surgery...hope the 2nd half of the year is much quieter!

Your pics always bring a smile to my face...hope you're enjoying the RV!

Hi Laurie,

Glad you found Steve on MyCorgi...I was going to ask him if he lived anywhere's near you. Too bad I didn't have time to drive Reggie there as we could have finally met:)

I know where Southern Pines & Pinehurst is been through many times growing up. I have had a tri and red and whites too. My Boomer was a rescue and I have had him 8 1/2 years.  Boomer is turning into a ham when it comes to pictures these days. Getting ready for his book to come out this spring. Having to take a lot of pictures for website, & book stuff. I miss North Carolina

Where in North Carolina? I was born in High Point and grew up in Asheboro, North Carolina. Small world. Your corgis are beautiful.
