East Orlando Animal Hospital Corgi Party Pics

Only 4 corgis were there but we enjoyed some silly games including ring around the corgi, the corgi dash, and corgi dress up. Not sure if Stanley was too fond of the last one but it made for some fun pics.

Weight Control

Hmmmm… how do I start this. I guess with a short story about a comment that was made to us when we were at the beach with Soffie and Griffyn last week. A man on the beach with his dog inquired to us as to what breed of dogs we had. When we told him Pembroke Welsh Corgis he replied… Really?? Aren’t they usually FAT?!!!

Sad but true I’m afraid…. So I am going to post a link at

Uh oh Bootsie has a shaky hind leg

I couldn't quite put my finger on it and noticed very soon after he came into my home. What I noticed was that he seemed to run differently, I still can't quite explain it as obviously when he runs it is quick. The best was to explain it is that he seemed awkward or uncoordinated. LO plays fetch alot so I see him running all the time and Bootsie looks different running. Then the last couple of days his back leg has been shaking during fetch. He really stops playing fetch a lot sooner than LO,

Rag Weed Allergy

Had the Gunster at the vet this morning. Doc thinks he has ragweed allergy. Says that he has seen tons of dogs in the last 3 weeks with same thing. Red , itchy skin. He put him on Tamaril for a week to settle things down from the inside out. Anyone else have this problem? I tried taking care of it without meds for a week or so. Using Aloe Vera lotion and Burt's Bees Hot Spot salve...I guess it helped keep him from having open sores but over all his skin remained itchy and inflamed so now I ha

First vet trip/Sick puppy =/

So it's a good thing we had the vet visit scheduled when we did because Apollo (our male) is definitely sick and apparently suffering. (I really don't think it's behavioral because sure he cried a little whenever we had kennel time before but now it is incessantly) The poor thing has cried ALL day/ALL night for the last 24 hours with the small exception that he's okay for the duration of our walks/potty time. When we got back from our trip we noticed the little guy looked incredibly bloated and… Continue

Recovery- She is home!

I got to bring Callie home today, we still need prayers that things keep going good. She has been very happy and staying close to her mama. Its already been tough to keep hercalm. She is on a special diet for awhile, which she really likes the food so that is good. I am off to spend more time with her and I will keep everyone updated. For those who don't know what I'm talking about check out my previous blogs. Continue

Corgi Games

Does anyone have little games you play with your corgi? Zoe loves a couple of them. The kids love to play hide and seek with her. We'll hold her in a room while they take off to another room and hide. Then Zoe tears through the house, looking behind doors, on beds and couches, behind the dining room table, etc. til she finds them. It's a hoot watching her search. You can almost see the gears in her head turning "have I looked here yet?"
Her other favorite is what we call "Hide and Treat."… Continue

Casey VS. Bicycle

Yup, that's right. My dog got run over by a bicycle. We were on a multi-use trail yesterday and a gentleman was riding a bike with his dog. Usually when cyclists pass Casey and I on off-leash trails, I call her over and either make her heal, or we just stop and move to the side and wait for them to pass. This time, I saw that he had an off-leash dog with him who was quite a ways away from the cyclist on the side

I know we love our corgis but....

Is there anything you wish was different about your corgi. I love the big, white ruff and I wish that LO would have one, he has really no white on his neck. I just love the big white necks because of the story about fairies riding them and it being where the reins were.

Congratulations to Maddie, our newest therapy dog!

Hooray for Maddie! She passed her CGC/ TDI test tonight. Now I just need to fill out some paperwork, get the vet to sign off on her medical records, and send in for her ID tags. She was such a good girl! She had to work very hard for this. Concentration does not come naturally to her. Thank goodness for the "look" command (one I never used with Jack) because I had to use it about a half-dozen times in the test tonight. There were people out in the hall and she didn't want to sit, she thought th… Continue

Recovery

I am updating from my phone so this will be shorter. I got to see Callie again today and was thrilled to see the improvement. She walked out to see me and was so excited she tried to jump up on me. They told me it was time for her walk and I could take her as long as she came back within a few minutes. We strolled around the building and she just kept giving me the 'i love you so much' look.
You wouldn't have been able to tell she just had a major surgery. The vet said she ate some and they… Continue

Bad, bad news - it's severe hip dysplasia

We just got back from the vet, and it's not good. I posted a discussion about how last night, in mid-stride, Sidney suddenly yelped in pain and would not bear weight on his hind left leg. Our vet took xrays and he has very severe hip dysplasia. His femur on the left side is completely out of what little hip socket he has.

Right now he's on Rimadyl for pain, and he's to be getting glucosamine to help build cartilage. He's acting normal and happy, but won't put weight on the bad hip.

Exploritory surgery part 2 UPDATED

Today is the day! In fact as I am writing this as the are getting her ready to go into surgery.
I've had a long weekend with little sleep because she had to go out about every hour to go potty. But this morning I woke up to her being as playful as ever. I think that the antibiotics are starting to work. It just made me so happy seeing her run around like crazy and constantly squeaking her toy like she used to. (And she can squeak toys for hours)

The vet called me and they are doi… Continue

New home. New Schedule

Monty and I are settling into our new home, a townhouse in northern virginia. It was a little crazy for Monty but he is definitely getting used to the new digs and my new roommate has showered him with lots of massages. We also have lots of new trails to explore.

We will also have a new schedule as I am now very close to work. Now three days a week instead of going to daycare while I am at the office he will be staying at home with lunch visits from me. I get to work from ho
