About Me:
I love Corgis! I was born in Pittsburgh and went to college in Boston, MA. I just graduated and I thought it was time to get a corgi of my own so I have a little buddy when I move out of my parents' home.

About My Corgi(s):
Lily
- Born 10/19/1998
- Smaller than normal. She was the only pup from her litter and is undersize. We love her to bits, though and we love that she's small.
- She loves to chase light. OBSESSED with it, though. My dad got her hooked on it when she was a puppy when he brought home a laser pointer. When the new puppy comes I told him he wasn't allowed to do that. :(
- She herds us whenever we're getting to leave the house and has almost tripped us many times.
- She has a very interesting growl besides her normal bark. When she wants different things, such as food or for going outside, she will make different sounds. I haven't heard other dogs do this before!

Izzie
- Born 4/24/2008
- Tri-color female
- Big ball of fluffy energy
- Loves squeaky toys!
- Music likes: Enya, Jimmy Buffet, Madonna, SOME Maroon 5
- Music dislikes: Nine Inch Nails, Genesis
- Still learning lots about my new puppy!

Oh my. Izzie is growing up so fast... :`-(

On Friday I took her to the vet and she was 12.8 lbs. What a big girl! She's 15 weeks and a few days. Also, her puppy fur is coming out and it's being replaced with the adult fur. Waaahh! And THEN, today I come home, and two of her bottom teeth are missing!! My BABY is growing up!!!!! I remember when we brought her home and she could barely walk! Now we can hardly catch her. Her high pitched bark is being replaced with a much more mature voice. It's all happening so quickly! I can even see her… Continue

Music?

Do your dogs have specific music preferences? Whenever we picked up Izzie for the first time. I found that she was a lot quieter if we talked to her. Well, we couldn't talk all the time since it was a 2 hour drive back home, so we thought maybe music would calm her down. As soon as we put Enya on, she was quiet. If the music stopped, she started to whine again. Eventually, we had brought her up to the front and I held her to keep her company since she was so used to being with her litter mates… Continue

Izzie Eats Everything!

So now we can add to the list 1) Japanese Beatles 2) Drywall of things Izzie will eat! Ugh. She spent an entire evening last week throwing up bugs she ate during the day while outside. Sooooooo gross. Yesterday, while I was at work, my sister left Izzie alone for 5 minutes and she chewed a huge hole through the corner of the wall in the hall way... >_< My mum and I are trying to patch the hole in the coming days. Luckily the wall was just painted so it won't be too hard to match the paint.… Continue

Izzie's First Swim

I spent a good amount of time outside today with the pups. My dad put up the pool last weekend but we didn't really get to go in until today. We never tried putting Lily in the water but my dad was kind of anxious to see how Izzie would do in the water. I wish I would have brought my camera out! It was sooooo cute! Lily is too old now to shock her with putting her in the water, but Izzie was a little shocked too! I lifted Izzie to give to my dad who was in the pool and he dunked her lower body i… Continue

Chewing on Wood Corners and Other Bad Habits

Izzie seems to have developed a habit of chewing on the woodwork now. I give her so many options with toys to chew on, but it seems she gets bored of the toys and heads for the corners! Ahhhh! We sprayed the bitter apple on stuff but that doesn't seem to have stopped her. We don't know if the bitter apple spray is too old (almost a decade, from when we had Lily as a puppy) or it just doesn't bother her. Is there another way to stop her from chewing on the wood?? I guess we'll try and buy newer b… Continue

Hi Rachel and Welcome!
I see you've joined Corgi Tuft Pluckers. With your Psychology degree will you be there as an observer or are you truly "one of us" ?! :)
Congratulations on your new tri!
