Have not been up to much, moved back in with my mom and Kota. He is wonderful... All grown up. Such a good boy. Getting food stamps now. No job still. Have to go to these class things since I'm on food stamps... I have a Vocational Rehab apt in the morning, they are going to tell me my options for becoming Pharmacy Tech Certified again... whether I have to go to school or if there are any other options... Was doing some home improvement stuff around my mom's house. But, she kinda made me feel bad... So, I'm not sure how much more of that I will be doing... I have been sleeping a lot. And don't really have much motivation. I'm trying. It just isn't working out very well...

Kristen. Bazel injury from running! Has nothing to do with short legs, etc. Cleaned out my tomato plants, and he was eating the little grape tomatoes as fast as I was picking them from the other side of the fence. No wonder he's had diarrhea! Audrey is going to be working for AmeriCorp at a high school in Denver for 10 months, then? She calls every day and sounds sad. Encourage her but with the boot on her foot she can't do or go out much. Still can't put weight on her foot! I'm missing her terribly. My dad is the same, so many health issues, poor guy. Still pleasant to be with though. More than my husband is. Lots of work stress. His company let 2 more people go this week. I feel for your husband and you. I would go crazy with Don home all the time! Orchids are lovely. Do you get yours to bloom occassionally? I've not had good luck but love them. Why don't you email me at spencerpam@gmail.com. I tend to get long winded and not always about Corgi stuff. Oh, do you have yet another corgi? I'm jealous. Penny

Thank you :)

Hi! My husband spent the night in N. Platte last week, on his way to Denver!
Is that near you? Audrey flew out because she didn't think her ankle could handle the long drive. They are settled and I've done my crying for now. Leaving her at airport was heartbreaking for both of us. The "empty nest" has hit the Spencer home. We are almost thru with Vet payments for Bazel's surgeries. Today we found out he's torn knee ligaments in right rear knee and needs surgery at some point! Roscoe turned 3 on Sunday! Made a birthday pizza for the 3 dogs to celebrate. Has your husband found another job yet? Let me know what's up. Take care. Penny

Oh my goodness I love your pics!! I'm so jealous!!

thanks for the welcome!!! I really have to get with the program and get pictures of my wild bunch on here. I love your "corgis in a winter wonderland" pictures.

Thank you for your comment. How do your corgis get along with the horses ?

Thank you so much for your kind words.

You sure have a good looking crew with Lizzie, Fergie, Brodie and Fern!

Tobey's parents were Piper and Nacho. I believe that Nacho was their daughter's dog so I've never actually seen a picture of him. I have been looking at their site very frequently because I'd love to get Tobey a pal, however, I'm doing a lot of travel for work right now so I don't think the timing is right.

Kristen. Don't you love the "rooos" as you call it? Mine also do a "yawn-squeak" as well as howl every time the train comes by! Love talking dogs.
Busy weekend. Steve's (Audrey's bf) parents are coming by tonight for our
weekly pizza "za" night. Homemade usually on Saturday, but will do it tonight.
I've met them, super nice, but the dad has offered to drive to CO with Don so they'll have 3 drivers going up. Tomorrow a cousin I've never met wants to "drop by to meet me". Now I have to clean house, cut grass, etc.! It means a lot to my dad, soooo. Don has been building a "doggy deck" out of trek material for the 2 corgie boys so they hopefully will be out of the mud in their little "yard". Hope Roscoe will learn to jump up the 4" to get on it, after all this work. Sure they'll still find the dirt to lay in. Penny hanging in there. For a few days it didn't look good for her when she wasn't eating. Especially for her! She's still not eating like usual though. I will ask Vet about a doggy vasectomy with local anesthetic. Know that would solve some problem with Roscoe. You take care. Hope you have a good holiday weekend. Penny

Poppit. How cute. When dogs hold their heads in that manner and are blind, it's referred to as "setting sun" stance. Maybe they get some light sensation by holding their heads up? I didn't ask vet about neutering under local anesthesia, wonder if it's possible? I'll inquire. When Penny is in the room he has a one track mind, disgusting little boy, but normal. She is not doing well. Very weak and lethargic. Don't think I'll have her much longer. Can't see the point in having all kinds of tests run on her. Just make her comfortable and love her up right? Audrey is very upset I can't go to Denver with dad to move her there. Said my life is too centered around the dogs.
She's right and it does make me mad, but I'm stuck in this situation. Don't think Roscoe would do well in a kennel at all. The noises and smells and anxiety. My dad is not able to take care of them alone, especially with Roscoe having to be carried outside! With Aaron now living in his own home,. He'd have to stay here overnight. If you don't get Roscoe out of his "crib" by 6:30 a.m. he has poop all over and he needs a bath. I can't ask anyone to deal with that. Oh well. Lots going on here for sure. I'd love a weekend on my own at the beach with a good book! Bazel's hair is growing out some. He's more clingy since attack. I think he's the "barking" type of corgi I've heard about. All the time it seems. Are yours vocal like that?
Thanks for "listening" to me, ha ha! Take care Kristen. Pam

Hi Kristen. How are things going with your new addition? Is she adjusting well?
What do you call her? Give Bazel antihistamine for his eyes now and it helps (just like me!) My Audrey broke her ankle and had surgery last week. She is home now while mom and dad move her in with us until she goes to Denver in Sept. Now I'm waiting on her too, just like when she was little (I love it, but it's getting old he he). She'll get a walking cast soon I hope. Still plans on going to Denver. Hope you're well. Take care. Pam

Thanks for the comment! =)

WHAT a small world! Haha. I spoke with Lacy, and she is a terrific person. Your corgi looks amazing!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm going to try to put together a little video with a plot sometime soon, so stay tuned!

Hi Kristen! Bazel doing fine. Stitches out. Really funky, punky haircut though.
Don said we should shave all of his fur off. He has allergies on his feet which I use a spray on and now his eyes are runny and swollen and itchy. Do you know what I could use for his eyes. Vet said l/2 benadryl 3x day, but it makes him groggy. Poor guy has been through so much. After all the tests he's been through, my dad doesn't have enough blockage in his carotids to stent! Nothing out of the ordinary but still don't know why he's having blood pressure problems. Roscoe seems to be getting more aggressive which concerns me. Afraid it will become a real problem in the future. Vet said she would absolutely not neuter him because of anesthesia and I know an unneutered male dog can be more aggressive. What is new doggies name?
Poor little girl. They do adapt to poor or no sight but do bump into things.
Roscoe is only allowed in kitchen/dining room which is fairly large and he knows where furniture is placed. Manages to avoid things most of the time but sometimes you'll hear him run into cabinet or chair, etc. It is interesting to watch him even outside because for the most part he seems to sense when something is in his path, maybe echolocation? It scares me when he starts to run figure 8s and is going full speed because of running hard into something like the deck or tree then I have to be the bad guy and stop his fun. He does follow sounds and your voice. Would love to be able to get together. Know we'd get along great! How did you get the new pup? Take care and good luck with her. Pam

Hi Kristen,

Thank you. Corgi is doing just fine. Can't believe how far that little one has come. She taught all of us a lesson in coping.

Marianne

How precious.

Thank you for the warm welcome ... Beautiful Pictures.
We are about to bring another into our home next weekend. A female Tri ... Looking forward to her arrival and while nothing can replace Chloe' ... it has been a while since we had a baby Bunny butt in the house and this feels right.
