Hi JollieEllie ! (good morning for me...and for you too may be in Australia ?)
For the language, I think the age is quite important: at 10, Nana understands really EVERYTHING about - going to a walk- and -food, treats- !!!
So many different ways to say, but may be, she feels when it's something she's interested in....we always laught with my husband because it's impossible to hide anything to her when it's in relation with walks and food....terrible Nana.
Uyanga has may be a French accent when she barks ! lol

Oh, for the tail, Australia followed Europe ! At Uyanga's breeder in France, all the pems have their tails, I hope this will come to Japan in the future....Nana's tail would have been gorgeous I gess !!!
In the US too, Pems don't have tails I think...

Hi JollieEllie,
I used to speak to Nana only in Japanese because I've never had a dog in France, and I attended obedience classses at Miyagi Police Dogs academy here ! But for Uyanga who was born in France, we found that she would come quicker when we call her in French ! Now, I use a bit both to both of my Corgis.
In the future, I don't know if we'll stay in Japan or go to France....we'll see when our daughter will be really independant !
For the icon, I took this photo when Uyanga just came at home, now, they would just run together to play ! lol
Did you asked for a tri to your breeder ?

That's right about Bailey,I bet he will get a bigger smile there at the vineyard.Looking forward to see pictures, they are so cute should have a lot more pictures post here...and Video
There is not much exciting in San Antonio now, it's very hot and Gizmo doesn't like that ,he would pant a lot if he stay too long outside.

Hello JollieEllie,
Check out the Video.
I made Vietnamese noodle soup yesterday.
I am very impressed that you can cook Thai food.
The new pictures show that Truffle and Bailley are happy buddies. Sooo cute.
Do they swim?

hello JollieEllie,
Uyanga's favorite shows are baseball and sumo, and also programs with dogs, ar any animal, but she watches really all the programs: news, films....she's unique !
I'll upload some videos.
And yes, Nana looks younger than she is ! Because of Uyanga may be, she always want to win in everything, to be faster, better than Uyanga. But Uyanga doesn't mind at all, she only thinks what she can do to play, play, play !
I'll look if I can find some pics of Nana when she was a pup to show you, her head was very black and still a little black now.
I like very much black head Pems ! And your icon is really cute....adorable expression !

Hi ^^ Coby is very friendly with doggie siblings (My cousin's dogs: Husky, Shi-Poo and pomeranian) But he is little bit shy~ at the dog park, he needs time to get along with others

ooh, more pics of Bailey and Truff- fun!

No, I haven't blogged on how I got Tigger, but that is a good idea. It is similar to how I got Molly too. Guess I know what I am doing later today!

Yes, Scooter pants is now a sea dog. He was terrified of the water for 2 yrs. We got the boat and now he loves the water! My nickname for him is Baby Pants-my husband calls him Scooter for short. You are so lucky to have 2 corgis, Scooter doesn't want a brother or sister. Your babies are precious. Don't you just love the way they lay by the windows like cats? It's really amaizing for me to hear from Australia. And all because of corgis!

Hi JollieEllie!

Uh-Oh! Sounds like you had a long weekend too! I don't know who is worse off- Bailey or Truffle!?!?! Puppies take patience, don't they? Thank dog they are cute! My dogs were walking a thin line as well- I was testing Tigger this weekend out of the kennel alone during the day for a few hours at a time, but he isn't up to it yet. Everytime I came home, I came back to an accident. And he has discovered the cat box! AAACK! We had to have a discussion about that one. Since Molly hasn't been out to the barn, she has been going crazy- running the fence line and barking. I told her she should know better, but she just gave me a dirty look. I had to have a glass of wine! Corgis driving me to drink!

Thank you for Uyanga !
In France, usualy, dogs with a pedigree have a "real name" on the paper, begining by the letter of the year they were born, but the "calling name" (am I right ?) is different, you can choose what you want. But Uyanga is Uyanga everywhere, on the paper, and in the life !
And yes, when Bailey will be a bit older, they will decide wich is the Big Boss ! It's good if Truffle isn't a dominant because Bailey can be the boss if he wants too...
For us, I really worried a lot because Nana is a dominant, so, if Uyanga was also a dominant, wow........and Uyanga came from France, impossible to ask the breeder to help ! But Uyanga is really really a peaceful girl, she only thinks about playing, watching tv (yes !)... she never had any fight with any other dog, I think she doesn't understand what a fight is ! ;0))

How are the two happiest corgis in Sydney? Molly and Tig say "HI!"

Uyanga's name is neither French or Japanese, but...Mongolian !
She had to have a name begining by an U because of the year she was born (I don't know if you fave the same system in the Australia ?), the breeder asked me to choose, and I named her after one of my student (I teach French) who was a mongolian, a very pretty and intelligent girl whose name was Uyanga ! It means melody, or music in Mongolian...

I hope your 2 will be soon a good team like mine !
Who is the "Big Boss", Truffle or Bailey ? But Bailey is may be too young to tell...

I finished the Video as your request.
Agian, I use your picture for the story, hope you don't mind.

Thank you for the friend invite !
Your 2 babies are so so cute !!!
I like black head Pems.
2 is good isn't it ? I hesitated before to add Uyanga to the family, but did the good choice, she's a perfect "little" sister to Nana !

Hello Master Truffle..good news!..Giz does BANG..soo funny, coz his heavy weight,he makes noise everytimes he(really) fall on his side...Speak"" ,we still working on it, may be my " Woof" not sound alike,I 'll make my husband to do that,he's home from the trip this weekend.
What's new with Bailey?

That is our horse show friend B.B., she actually belongs to my boss as does the pugle (Rudy) and the minpin (Duncan). The toy horse is a back pack that she takes to horse shows with her snacks in it. This picture was taken about 11:30 one night after we had been at the show since 5am. She got up on the bleachers and said I don't care whats happening, I'm got to have my beauty sleep!
