I so love the look on his face! If your camera doesn't straighten up my brother swears by his D80. I'm still a Canon fan girl but I have to admit he has some nice shots. :)

If my husband and I weren't both allergic to cats we would totally get one. Finnigan loves cats, they just don't love him. :)

Profile Information

Hometown:: Bainbridge Island

About Me:: I own a small retail pet store in Washington State, and used to do Search and Rescue with my German Shepherd, Gabriel, who passed away suddenly in Feb. (He was happily bossed around by his Corgifriends, who miss him terribly.) I also have several cats, and two wonderful horses.

Surprisingly, everyone gets along fairly well... *grin*

Welsh Corgi Breeder?: No

Website:: http://wagginthedog.blogspot.com/

About My Corgi(s):: My Pembroke Corgis are both rehomed/rescue dogs, and my Cardigans are hopefully show prospect guys! :) *fingers crossed*

Riley: My shop dog and constant companion, Riley was a puppy mill dog. He was dropped off at my shop when he was 12 weeks old; the person who bought him realized she made a bad decision to buy him, and couldn't keep him... He's a great ambassador for his breed, and also a great way to explain why you shouldn't purchase a pup this way.

Piper: A little wagging machine! Piper supposedly came off of a working cattle ranch in Montana. The person who had her unfortunately had a family in the military after 9-11 and thus, she had to leave the dogs behind with a sitter. Piper spent nearly five months literally in her crate... amazingly enough, she shook off her experience and has a lick and a love for everyone she meets.

"Simon Sez" aka Simon. Our brand new kid on the block, our little show prospect Cardigan Corgi. Wow, it's really interesting to me the difference in the two breeds from the get go!

"Caleb" - Our other show prospect Cardigan Corgi, a brindle male born in December 08.

I have:: Both Pembroke and Cardigan

It was a day of sitting. A day of raining. A day of utter inside boredom that had to be rectified, through any means.

So our mighty (and rather short) hero takes these matters into his own short paws...

Rehoming Corgi - Seattle Area.

Home found and he's doing awesome in it! Thank you for all your help! :D

I don't have all the details yet, and I've only met the dog a few times myself.

However, he's coming here tomorrow morning to foster with me and I'll evaluate him and get a better picture of what he's like...

Edit - okay, this is a NICE dog. A really, really nice dog. If I didn't have four of my own I'd take this guy, but he really deserves a home where he can be an only child. I think he'd be happiest that way. H… Continue

Pudge, pudge go away....

Hey, I don't do too many entries, but this one deserved one on its own, since I know a lot of you have similar weight issues with your Corgis.

Riley at his high point was 42.2 lbs, ugh. I felt bad, because it was honestly not his fault (well, or really mine either.)

My vet and I were baffled for years, to the point where we were going to put him on drugs for the issue, as a last resort. We had to get the weight off this dog. We drew blood, expected there to be a thyroid issue - he naturally ha… Continue

Doors open... :)

People have been so, so nice. I can't say how much I appreciate that. My back counter had flowers all over it all last week. think I could stock a florist's shop. I've gotten cards in the mail from a lot of friends, several of them here. I just... I cannot thank everyone enough, for their kind words and support. I am so, so honored that Gabriel was so well-loved, and made a lot of people proud of him (and a lot of them laugh at us.) I've had so many people say, "He had a great life," and he did.… Continue

Conclusion - last sad thing for a bit, hopefully.

I got back Gabriel's autopsy results yesterday. The diagnosis was a sudden internal bacterial infection that went instantly septic. The vets talked to me for a while - there's no way they'll ever really know where it was or began. It could have been something as minor as a tiny cut in his mouth that just healed up instantly but trapped a pocket of bacteria and it spread through his bloodstream to his heart and internal organs. They honestly don't think there's anything anyone could have done, by… Continue

At 8:54pm on October 9, 2009, JILL said…: - thought you'd like to know that I, too, can't get enough of Sharon's puppies. After falling in love with both Figg and Newton on her web page, I should have known not to look any more. But, there was Siren (soon to be Biscotti - biscuit for short) and I couldn't resist. I see you have Caleb added to your brood. I should have Biscuit in a few weeks. Congrats again on Caleb's win!

It was nice to meet Simon and Caleb!

At 11:26pm on September 14, 2009, Anne said…: So Caleb came from Notzmo? Our dog Le-Le came from Sharon Nottingham's kennel in OK and we got her at two years old. She has beautiful dogs. George was Le-Le's father. Any relation? Also do you know other dogs from her kennel on mycorgi? Your dogs are very cute!

At 2:09pm on August 24, 2009, Cassie and Jaunty said…: Jaunty didn't win his class until Sunday when I put a handler on him. My handling is not the best, apparently. But I'll keep working on it. The competition was ridicules! I was happy when he finally won his puppy class. My friend Diana (Fernbriar Cardigans), finished her year old male, Boogie, with the majors on Sat and Sun. I'm glad he is out of the classes, and of course, very happy for Diana. Twinrocs Santa Paws won the breed all three days. He is gorgeous! After emailing Jaunty's breeder and Diana, I left his whiskers, but did use the thinners to minimize a few deep waves and left his chest alone. But after seeing the other Cardis, I know I don't have to worry about his waves after all. The dog that won the points on Fri, has a very wavy coat. His next show will be Rochester Minn. Sept. 12. We have work to do before that though, he's going through a "Only MOM can look at my teeth, and if anyone else tries I'm going to FLIP OUT!" stage. Good luck to your guys, let me know how they do. And have fun in Vegas!

At 12:39pm on August 21, 2009, Christine Jones said…: Thanks for the warm welcome! I noticed you too have spots and stripes and a little red thrown in for measure! =)

At 2:03pm on August 17, 2009, Cassie and Jaunty said…: More thoughts- How do you get rid of waves (on Jauntys back)? Do you take whiskers off? Should I take the thinners to the lump of coat on his chest? He's in between puppy and adult coat, and its driving me crazy! I love Korats! Always wanted an Oriental Shorthair, because they look like the sighthounds of the cat world. I have an 11 year old, blue cream longhair, with diabetes. She still doesn't really like Jaunty, but we love her anyway. Jaunty will be shown in a Herding Group Specialty on Fri. Then two huge all breeds on Sat. and Sun. All with majors. I would love some points now, but the competition is fierce! We have some of the top Cardigan breeders in the country in the area. Keep in touch, I love talking to someone on this site that isn't offended by the word "bitch"!

At 1:47pm on August 17, 2009, Cassie and Jaunty said…: Thanks, that was a tough win. The GSD puppy actually had a handler on him, OES in full coat, Sheltie standing like a statue, etc. I was shocked to win it. He also won over three Cardi bitch puppies (all older than him and one already pointed). Wish I could blog about it, stupid Blackberry won't let me.

Time does fly. Can't get over how big she is getting.
