Hello!! I am considering a dog from Janet Richardson of Tresaith Corgis and notice you mention you got one of your dogs from her. Please add me as a friend so we can converse about this via email! Thanks!!!

That is a great photo! I can see how Bertie would win the beautiful dog contest. I wanted to do that same effect with the photo attached here because Rufus' ears look so BIG! But the picture isn't the clearest and I didn't like the stuff in the background so I just played around with it on paint and took out the background. I'd still love to get a good enough picture of my dog to make a pop art picture like yours.

I love your profile picture! Is that your corgi (I know there is a website where you can turn pictures into pop art like that)?

the funky corgi cursor is an HTML code that you add to your advanced code in Themes. . . .it is cute huh???

Sounds like you have an absolute natural. Lol. That's hilarious about him only herding if you were there though. I can imagine the other dogs found it pretty amusing, haha. And I totally understand the money thing, fencing can cost quite a bit, depending what kind you get.

Well the ferrets are definitely capable of holding their own, and yes they are also known for being escape artists.My poor Ray will probably grow up thinking she is a ferret. Haha. I think the goat thing would be a great idea. I'm sure your lovely dogs would really enjoy that. Have you tried buying them some geese as herding practice? They're a great starter animal.

Ya, I'd probably want the tails too if someone took mine away, lol. Don't worry though, she doesn't hurt them. And they are tougher than they look ;) The ferrets are much more rough playing together than the pup is when she's playing with them

Thats ok, it probaly was a glitch

thanks a ton for the kind words. yeah i figured the same that she would need a little bit of jewels and it would have been perfect. This was a lot of fun ... downtown hosted a dogs night out with contests and games and dinner out with the pups and photo shoots and all kinds of booths with doggie accessories. it was good times and i love the photos too they really capture her personality and beauty.

I wish I had say in the neutering for Cloud, but he's my boyfriend's dog and I don't have say--sadly. I don't know if it would make a difference with all he experienced at the dog park--before that he was a lot sweeter and friendlier with new dogs and now he isn't so much, except for Freya.

Eddy's eyeball's fine now... But it was definately the other dog who needs to learn the soft mouth. Eddy's lost a lot of his interest in biting anything these days (lucky me), let alone living creatures. It was not serious, though, I was like, "Buck up wimp!" Hehe.

That is what I thought but some unusual circumstances have led to the availability of little Rowdy and I am thinking I would be able to give him a good home even if it is a little crowded.

We used rimydal too. Sparty limped after resting too but now if he does it, it usually means he overdid it the day before. He hasn't been on the anti-inflamatories for several years now. He is ten and has slowed down a little plus we don't encourage mad dashes and jumping high after balls.

Sparty started favoring the back leg on and off. The vet had difficulty manipulating his back leg because of how muscular he is but he said you could feel movement (which is a sympton of torn ligament). He did an x-ray which showed some disconection in the knee (who knew corgis had knees?). We decided not to do the surgery for the reasons I mentioned and Sparty took anti-inflamatories for a couple months. It has been a couple years and we just try to limit some activities like jumping and racing around. He is ten now and has an excellant quality of life. My neighbor's cocker had the surgery and also is doing well so I guess it is different in every case. Good luck!

Susan your babies are beautiful and it is so true about the corgis being great companions. I know I don't know what I would do without mine.

Thanks for the boot suggestion.

We named him Faulks because he looks like a Fox, and my boyfriend was a history major so also after Guy Fawkes, and also Fox Mulder ;) Hehe, we just changed the spelling a bit.

Yeah we untaped her ears 4 days early, she hated it and she's only 11 weeks so I honestly didn't see a need for it even though the breeder obviously did (she had already taped them when we picked her up). Her one ear flopped a little today but I'd rather give her a little bit of cottage cheese in her food and massage it than make her go through the itchiness of having her head taped! Thanks for your comment, we've been doing everything you talked about (sans actually being able to give puppy 1 on 1 attention because Faulks gets really upset if you shut him in a room away from her I'm going to sign her up for puppy classes soon so she'll get some time away from him.) I'm hoping they'll be happy and best buds :)
