Happy, Happy Birthday to you!

I'm sorry I just saw this (I am terrible about keeping up on websites!). My Emma certainly has a lot to say!! Thanks so much for sharing :)

Dang, sorry for your Beav's loss. (not) No really I am. My Ducks won yesterday, but it wasn't very pretty. Real wake up call. Got any snow over there yet? My friends that live in Bend got some off and on last week.

Thanks Carol. My sister is a Beaver fan and she is very disapointed with them this year. On the other hand, I told her if she wanted to cheer for a winning team, it's called "GO DUCKS". hahaha Very proud of them and hope they go all the way. Tucker

Good to have you back. I've missed you and your stories. Sorry to hear about the bronchitis. Take care of yourself and feel better!

That photo of Lucy drinking beer was 2 years ago and notice how lady-like her approach is. Rafa would have knocked the glass over and licked it off the deck. How are you? I've missed you.

Hi Carol...thanks for the ribbon. Being new to this site, I haven't quite figured out how to navigate it yet. I just wanted to be sure to let you know I appreciate your kinds thougths and words. I hope to rejoin the wonderful world of corgi owners again sometime soon. In the meantime, I'll continue to enjoy the pictures and stories here as I remember my wonderful Langston. Thanks again.

Hi Carol, I thought I had sent this already, but just in case, yes I am already on nexium and pancrease, so I get them thru the co's. I simply cannot afford. so I already applied for plavix, just waiting for my app to get processed. hospital gave me a 30 day supply to start. I also have a coupon for 2 more weeks just in case,.
went to see my doc and she said it was a main artery they had put 3 stents all the way down. I jsut have to keep my blood sugar at a good level. been fighting that. even tho i lost over 30 lbs it still goes out of whack. especially now i can only excercise 5 mins a day. whoop de doo, huh?
i did do yard work yest for an hour, but it didnt make much difference. doc said 5 mins a day and i can increase 1 min each week.
I took katie off her pills but after a week, it looked like she went back to moping again and her back is real sensitive. so i have been giving her 1/2 a deramax a day. i can stretch them out doing that. they seem to help. anything more and she is sleeping all day. it seems ringo is real clumsy around her and knocks her over, and she always tries to run with hum. so he has been cooped up alot again, he misses his toys tho. i do bring him out to play eveyr night. he just loves those squeaky toys, thats all i hear, squeak squeak, constantly.
so how are you?

Well, one time my ex was swimming with my first Corgi, "Otis" and our two other cattle dogs. The other dogs got out of the water and then Otis got out and a lady said "what happened to your dog"? She thought he was a full size dog in the water and that something had happened to his legs. hahaha When he started swiming, it scared me for him to be so far out in the water, But he really loved it and was a strong swimmer.

Hi Carol, I just took Katie off her meds. She was doing alot better towards the end she even started jumping down off the couch, which I stopped immediately. Now I turn the couch cushions all up when I leave. I told her not to do that anymore, I jsut hope she listens. she usually does tho. she has been running around alot more with ringo. he is overly active, i think he has ADD. I learned he knows how to fetch really well.
about 3 days affter I took Katie off her meds, she started moping in my room again at night. I hope I dont have to take her to a chiropractor. but if this keeps up i may have to.
But at any rate, all vet visits will have to be put off for ahwile, since I had a heart attack 2 weeks ago, had to take a week off work, without pay so I am catching up right now on bills and the mortgage. i am okay now had 3 stents put in.
hope all is weel with you!, Pat

My sister is a OSU fan. So I am use to the jab's. It's all in fun! I am sorry that your Beav's loss to the Dogs. I really don't like them Huskies. hehehe The Corgi walk was a blast. You should try to make it next year. It goes to a really good cause. I wish I had an answer for getting your Corgi to like water, but I don't. All of my Corgi's have love water. I have more problems getting Tucker to stay out of it!

Thanks. I'll check out Big 5 this week. In the meantime I got them some big balls, which dish out random treats. Should keep them busy for a while.

Sorry about OSU yesterday.

I still can't find the volleyball & soccer ball that John has recommended, but found some other cool toys that are too big to roll under the sofa (so I have to retrieve every 5 seconds!) and also keep them both busy. I'll go to a sporting goods store or a target & I'm sure I'll find them. Rafa had his first obedience class today. He did his mommy proud. He loved every minute of the hour. What an attention span on this guy.

How cute are they? I tell you what - I think corgis have to be one of the cutest breeds. : )

Thanks, I joined those 2 yahoo groups so's I can post notices there.

Good for you if you want to help Dr. Coates. I'd expect they need specimens ASAP though, so spread the word to anybody you know who has an older unaffected corgi.
Other breeds may be useful too -- I'm unclear on that -- a lot of boxers and GSDs are affected, and the age-of-onset for DM is lower in those breeds, so healthy controls don't need to be so old. Thanks!

Yes...we are new here the time I spend here is so useful and fun at the same time =)
Lily& Bunnies poop ....huge problem with nothing to fix .....
Thanks for the welcome!!!!!
