Hey John, Thanks for listening and being so supportive re. our Rafanator. I spoke to my vet, who's also an old friend, at length today, and he highly recommended a professional behavioral trainer. He's known her for years and worked with her on many projects. She's experienced and well-trained and I'm hoping she can give us the help we need. She's coming out on Friday for a 2 hr. consultation with Jack, RR, Lucy and me.

Jack and my baby, Marnie, have seen Best in Show a gazillion times. They love it. Meantime, you got two magnificent Corgis, that I trust is no accident. You know that our friend Doug is responsible for bringing RR into our lives. I have never seen a more FLK (funny looking kid). He's turning into an almost handsome dog that could fit into your family. haha! We definitely have to meet up with Doug at a Corgi Specialty Show!

Now we're back on the roller coaster. He's been near perfect for the last two days. I can't give him up. Can't live with 'em and can't live w/o 'em! He drives Jack far crazier than me because Jack is controlling and RR is out of control. It makes me nuts too considering the time I've put into training him. We've made major strides, but this destruction of our house in unacceptable, and I don't want an outside dog.

Say it ain't so. Your photo is a fake. I feel like I did when learning that black and white iconic photo of a nurse being kissed by a sailor in Times Square of V-J day was posed––not candid.

PS It's no accident that I have yet to include him in the mycorgi profile photo. It's so hard wondering if some day we will have to re-home him. He's captured our hearts and he has fans galore. But his fans don't have to live with him. They get to enjoy his antics and go home.

Indeed Lucy has Nebriowa Double Exposure in her pedigree. We're family. Actually Lucy resembles Nebriowa Double Exposure in head and body, low to the ground. Lucy%27s%20pedigree_2.jpg

Well ,John, he has Nebriowa in his ancestry... I have discovered it is the nebriowa that has drawn me in!!LOL his Nebriowa is several generations before "flash"( DBL exposure) :) he has and probably Al too a nebriowa dog called Nebriowa Front and Center along with couple others but nothing as recent as Double Exposuer - A gorgeous dog...CH Nebriowa Double Exposure

Indeed, Lucy's Nebriowa. She's a little beauty, but it's our bad boy that gets all the attention on mycorgi.  Lucy was handpicked by us from Tim Mathiesen. We flew up to Oakland and rented a car to get to Lucy and she was well worth it. What's your email address. I'll send you Lucy's pedigree. I scanned it for Doug when we compared ancesters. Does Al have any Sua Mah on his papers? I'd love to see his pedigree. Maybe they have more relatives...Have you seen Lucy's photos on mycorgi. I even have photos of the Nebriowa litter and one with Jack and Tim. Unfortunately, I take too many photos with my iPhone and then am too lazy to even edit out the bad ones. Ditto w. my flip videos. I've been starting to clean out some, but i have a long way to go. I love your photos, esp the one with Al keeping you warm in the tent. Who took the photo??

Sorry John, I must have been dogstracted...I didn't read that post very well.  Gosh 2007 issue, that's been awhile ago !   I wonder if they have back issues available, probably not.

Having owned corgis all 37 yrs. of our marriage and even when I was a kid, I can say, without question, that something is not normal. I called a trainer in LA that was highly recommended but I don't think he wants to drive out here. I took him to obedience classes but that didn't help; nor were the trainers very knowledgeable. I will call my vet tomorrow and see if he can recommend an animal behaviorist. This has become one of the saddest experiences for Jack and me. I have put so much time and love into him. I always believed that there aren't problem dogs, only problem owners. But, I know I gave him the same training clear and consistent daily training that I gave all my other corgis. If anything, I gave him even more time and attention because I don't work now & we rehomed him. Initially we kept telling ourselves, he's just a puppy. He'll outgrow this. Lucy was a little terror of a puppy. But, if anything, this month he is worse. It would be a lot easier on us if he wasn't so sweet and good-natured. I am also going to discuss medication with my vet, as a last resort.

Hi John...Thanks for the nice things you have said about Riley and Maggie.  They are quite the pair, love them (very entertaining).

 

Kelly commented to us that Maggie is a red-headed tri with a black skull.  I'm not sure what that means, I can see the red hair starting to come through the black.  As for Riley, he will be 2 yrs in July, I think the coat keeps changing for years.   Time will tell the tale (or is that tail) .  Al and Gwynnie have beautiful coats, do you think their coloring will change much more?

 

Maggie is like shooting a moving target...it's very difficult to get a good picture of her.  I will keep trying.   She isn't as laid back as Riley (he would actually pose for me, more or less).

I think I subscribed to the CPWCC newsletter, I should get the next issue.

Thanks, John. I don't think that there's a bone we don't have, including big beef bones, knuckles...some that are even too big for them to tackle. It doesn't help. He has no boundaries. Both Lucy and R/R destroy their toys, that's what the toys are there for. But Lucy, like all my other corgis, learned to distinguish their toys. When R/R is awake, we have to watch him every minute. He moves from chewing his bone under the chair, to chewing the chair, making the same sounds. We can't even relax when he's quiet. This week he ate a huge hole in my sofa, 2 telephone cables, and the wallpaper. Outside it's no better. He digs up the potted plants and flowers, and destroys all the irrigation drip lines. He also eats the wood, and our house is redwood. I could go on and on, but it'd be a laundry list. Jack has had it with him. We've been married and have had corgis for 37 yrs. I also had corgis as a kid. I devoted the first few months to training and it's always paid off with dogs I could take anywhere. I have never run into a corgi like R/R. It's like he has a screw loose or faulty wiring. We have fallen in love with him, but, we have no peace. Earlier today I asked Jack if our furniture was more important than our love for an animal. Jack said that if we were talking about me, he'd keep me even if I ate the furniture.

I read your line about the companionship and peaceful vibes from your corgis. The sad thing is that we have no peace inside or out with The Rafanator because he's so destructive. We're trying to find a good trainer to come out and get some help. He's the sweetest corgi, w/o a mean bone in his body. He's never met a baby, child, or dog that he doesn't love. We certainly can't say the same for Lucy! Now if he just didn't love eating everything inside and outside. We may have to consider rehoming him if we can't "fix" this. He would probably be happier in a more active environment where he would have jobs and kids/livestock to herd.

Hardly competition. It only looked bad, but did no real damage. The Rafanator is in a class of his own. I posted some new photos of sofa destruction and need to post one of the wallpaper he ripped. He's like Marly.

Just added a pic of Scout--after ACL surgery last week!  He is doing well, but sure looks funny with the naked butt.

I carry a point and shoot to the barn all the time! :) Those things take a pounding and still keep shooting. I have a little Canon Power shot I love.

 

 My Nikon doesn't... I've done some bad things to both of my cameras. This last one really has issues on some settings because my mare picked up the strap in her teeth and twirled it around with me going "NO, NO Blondie, drop it!!!!" like some sort of moron. Plus, they're so heavy, ugh. I've taken to backpacking my camera everywhere lately, which is great... but you lose a lot of shots when you can't just grab and click and stuff it back into your pocket. :(
