Catarina(the human), Matilda(Tricolored Pembroke Welsh Corgi)

It's been awhile since i posted news about Tilda.

She's now 15 months old. She seems to have gone through a bout of teenage madness where she chewed the railing of our hallway, talked back alot, disobeyed, etc. She's still not as obedient as before, but we have been preventing the destructive chewing with crating when unsupervised or having her leashed to me when i'm in the house. Leashing her to me seems to have been helping her learn that she needs to settle down next to us once in awhile, an… Continue

Well my worst fears have been confirmed today, Tilda is going through her worse phase ever. It started after her spay, wich was done when she turned 1 year old.

Good news everyone, it's been day two of the sleeping arrangements and both me and Tilda have slept soundly(husband always sleeps well because he is a heavy sleeper :P).

At first i left her in the hallway, placed a baby gate in my bedroom door and went to sleep. So if she wanted to check us out, she could. She came to check us out when we headed off to bed but never came again. She just curled up on her favorite spot of the hallway. She does have a tendency to pace around, so after a few hours(… Continue

Well, just wanted to update this since we came back from the vet.

The urine sample showed alot of bacteria, but at the same time there was no white cells so the vet fears that it might be a contaminated sample. I did get it directly from her urine stream with a margarine lid(that i sterilized) so she isn't sure. She still gave her some antibiotics just in case, but the fact that she has no urgency to pee during the day is very odd.

The vet thinks that this is because Tilda is such a anxious do… Continue
