I remember going to look at Duncan. I really wanted a female, but all they had left was the one male in the litter. My husband's job was not to let me take the first corgi puppy I saw. Well, that didn't work out too well. My husband said my face l...
My first corgi was no problem getting her nails done. She would stand and let you pick up each foot, clip the nail and never move an inch. I don't know if being with the litter a month longer than Duncan was with his has anything to do with it or ...
Duncan had what I believed to be spider bites once, I gave him Benedryl and watched him all night until the vet's opened at 7:30 in the morning. They said I did the right thing, also, if he'll stand it, put a cold washcloth over the area to help w...
I tried the dremel also. Took my time, Duncan got use to the sound, it touching his foot (somewhat), but as soon as I touch his nail, he yelped and screamed......another panic attack.
That's a good description of his behavior, a panic attack. He fights baths, but I don't let him win there. But holding him to clip his nails is basically a panic attack. I've tried since he was a puppy to him getting use to his feet being touched,...
I wish I could have a play date for Duncan, he seems to like other dogs as long as they aren't bigger than him. But, alas, the chow/corgi mix we took about 4 years ago, doesn't not like strange dogs around her. That's what was so funny when we got...
I'm placing my order now! Evie Anderson is one of my favorite artist, and I have a couple of her paintings. I can't wait to see the book and add it to my corgi collection
I have a major problem with Duncan and his nails. I have tried all the tricks and ploys recommended, it still doesn't help. One time, 3 of us couldn't control him to clip his nails. I have finally resorted to having him sedated and letting the vet...

About My Corgi(s):
I have a Pembroke Corgi and a Corgi/Chow mix that we adopted about 3 years ago. Duncan, the pure corgi is the second one I've ever owned. He'll be 4 years old this May. My first corgi I had over 25 years ago, and swore that if I ever had a chance, I would own another one. Chloe, the corgi/chow mix needed a home and I persauded my husband to go see her, cause he said one dog was enough. Well, she walked right over to him and roll over for her belly to be scratched. That's all it took with this tough guy.
Lou Ann, the way you get photos like that one of Megan involves an assistant waving the dog treats just behind the camera. You can't say, "Look here!" or "Smile!", and if you say, "Dinnertime!" or "Treat!", they get wise to that pretty fast. FYI. :)
Thank you for your comments. I feel so bad for allowing him to jump down but I am so careful now. The only thing I worry about now is him going down the few steps to get in and out of our house. He is not reluctant to do it so I may not bother him. I am an overprotective Mommy now.
My vet said that you rarely see a fistula in a dog that does not have a tail-for obvious reasons. Does Chloe have a tail-since she is a mix? I realize that from a $ standpoint things are tough,BUT IF it is a fistula, she needs to start on antibiotics as soon as possible. Also, fistulas require a lengthy antibiotic treatment-sometimes several weeks. Hopefully Chole does not have one-but just wanted to let you know what COULD be ahead.
Don't worry, they get along great. Ferrets are the kind of animals that like to play hide and seek. Kind of like stalking. They'll run and hide, then jump out of their hiding spot to play attack. This video is after they did this to the pup many times. She kept trying to get them in one spot and stay. Can't hear it on the video, but the ferrets were doing their play chirping. But this experience is just like litter mates playing, which is much rougher. She'll learn to calm down once she figures out how they play and stops trying to keep them in one place. Don't worry, I keep a very close eye on them.
