Thanks for the info. I'd like to do group classes because of the interaction she could have with other dogs, but I kind of want to do more targetted training that I think one-on-one would be better for. I'm trying to do agility-type training with her (if not for competition, then just for fun) and since I have never done that type of training, I am looking for good tips and methods to boost Scout's confidence in the unfamiliar obstacles.
awe thank you, the one on the left is Toby, he is our rescue tomorrow it will be 2 weeks.He is 7mo old, and gracie is on the right she will be a year May 14. I also have to Tri males, Nicky and Wrangler. Have a house full of little wiggle butts. Love it. You will have so much fun with little ruger, they are such a joy, and funny. They do corgi sprints in the house. All of a sudden they get these burst to run. Its funny to watch.
Hey Brittany and Ruger! Thanks for the friend invite! I know exactly where you are from! I've been to Colville before! It is completely different than Moses Lake. Everything here is so flat and no trees except what we plant ourselves. I would rather be up in the mountains. LOL
Best of luck with your schooling no matter what you decide. My suggestion is find a vet clinic that will let you shadow one of their assistants so you can get a first hand experience in a clinic setting. It will help you make the decision if you want to go into vet med. It is a tough job but really rewarding at the same time. Take care and have lots of fun with Ruger in puppy obedience! <3
Thanks so much!! Your pup is so cute, looking forward to watching Ruger grow on here! What a bummer about your pics at Walmart, I cant believe the people didnt return them, knowing they werent theirs!! I agree with not deleting pics from memory cards...my hubby always wants me to, but I refuse and just buy new ones, which is quite a bit, since I take quite a bit of pictures! To justify not deleting them though, I have a digital frame that plays the pics back. :)
The meet up is just a lot of corgis at a dog park chasing each other around while the humans visit. I have photos on my page of one from last year. We had about 20 corgis there.
Welcome! We have a lot of favorite camping spots, Michigan is full of beautiful state parks. A favorite of mine is Mill Creek in Mackinaw City. It is a large private park and many of the sites are close together but it is on the Lake Huron shore line with views of the Mac Bridge. Across the street there are nice hiking trails in the Mill Creek historic park and you can take a ferry (with dog) to Mackinaw Island which once you get past the fudge and t-shirt shops has great hiking trails in the interior of the Island and no cars. There is a corgi meet scheduled for April 23 in East Lansing. Check out the Michigan meet up group. I also love Burt Lake Park. It has a dog area on the beach. Do you like rustic or things to do when you camp?
He is very well mannered. He makes me look bad most of the time LOL! I am glad that you like the Dog in the Log picture. I thought that it was a really cool shot and you are the first person to even mention it. I think you have great taste!!!
You might miss Washington, but do not misunderestimate the forests of the midwest. I grew up in Duluth, MN. There's a place I loved on the UP, Porcupine Mtns. State Park, backpacking there winter and fall. There's a ridge there, looking south, with a view of Lake Superior at either end. I've seen it in full fall color. It was a centerfold spread in Audubon magazine once. The eastern mixed deciduous forests have charms that Washington cannot match. Get a bird guide (I like the Golden guides) and a good pair of binoculars. Study the plants. The West has nothing like the bird diversity of the east. Ruger would love to go birding with you; that would be a great outdoor dogwalking hobby. Consult dog locals about what they do for ticks. I've used Advantix when we go to the east side of the Cascades in spring and summer. Watch out if he develops a prey drive; you don't want him to learn about porcupines (or skunks) the hard way. Ditto coyotes.
You must have learned to love snow and cold in Colville. Get some nordic skis and make it a virtue. Al & Gwynn LOVE to go snowshoeing and skiing. Fortunately, dogs seem to love snow.
...and Deborah too! Also ~ welcome to Michigan! I live about 45 miles north of Grand Rapids, but I used to live much closer to Benton Harbor. Just wait until all this weather has changed...Michigan is a great place to be! :)

So where'd you get little Ruger? Washington, or from someone in Michigan?
