Owen's Mom's Page

If you are unable to walk or train or exercise your herd dog... please don't get one. Please don't yell at your beautiful border collies who have been at your mercy since they were pups. They only want to do a job and because you have not given them one, today it is play with the red head's corgi. Do not ruin everyone else's time at the park by screaming at your dog constantly because it won't come to you. Perhaps this was the wrong dog for you. Next time get a small toy breed :(

So Owen and I took a trip to the Ft. Steilacoom dog park today.. which is huge. Last time we were there we had a great time and even met some other corgis. All and all had a good time. This time we ran into this awful woman who introduced herself as a trainer as Owen was playing with her awful poodle and awful chihuahua.

Not the first entry back you want when you have taken a bit of a break.

Came home after work, 3 hours later and Owen has throw up remenants on the floor again. I sigh, have to use the bathroom but let him out of… Continue

I'm not sure if Owen made it through okay or if he will ever look at the vet sweetly again. On Monday, I drove in the snow to get Owen fixed, vaccinated (rabies), and have his front dew claws removed. All in all, I'm pretty sure this was equally tragic for all of us involved. I picked up poor Owen that afternoon, paws bandaged and drove home. He cried until he got to my lap and I cried too.. we are babies. He rested alot and that night whined and whined. Matt had to sleep in the hallway part of… Continue
