    Having puppies questions

    Corgis are often very slow with lots of pauses. it sounds pretty typical so far. Congrats. Short cords with the dwarf gene so they very often need some stimulation...rough towel rubs and squeezing the fluid out. it could be a long night, although four in less than four hours is pretty good. Hang...

    Having puppies questions

    her temp will drop into the low 98s and may even drop twice. No worries. All will be fine. Sounds like either the boy or the girl dog need a little surgery. it will likely happen again with kids in the house.

    Having puppies questions

    Corgis are a bit different than other dogs and can easily take many breaks for extended time between pups. Sometimes as much as three hours. If she is not in distress (trying to push and not producing anything) then let her be. If you are on FB there is a great group run by a repro author called...

    Dog Breeds.

    I am owned by four Cardigan Welsh Corgis and"met" them thru anoki, above. I read about her Moxie and felt compelled to check out the breed. I had Scottish Terrors for years and at the time had a rescue Pembroke Welsh corgi. I feel I have found my breed and will never be without one. I dabble in...

    This was the last Christmas painting I did for a commission.

    Thanks for doing this, Kim. This is my heart dog, CH Coedwig's Alchemist, AKA Nugget, Nuggie, Nugg-bug. I am in awe of the job you did; especially having never laid eyes on him. What an awesome Christmas present from my sister and brother in law. You captured his eyes and freckles perfectly. Wow.

    Really Bad Day

    So sorry to hear about all of it, but the DM thing really strikes hard, since I am a corgi person. If there is any redeeming feature of DM it is that there is a lot of support for you out there. Research is finding out more and more about it, and our dogs are instrumental in helping with ALS...

    Top Chef using horse meat as ingredient

    Actually, cow, bull and steer (and heifer for a baby girl) all refer to the sex of the cattle or bovine. It has become a bit like the canine thing, where "dog" is actually referring to the male of the species. In other words there is really no such thing as a "bull cow," unless perhaps it is...

    Belated celebration of his "Gotcha Day"

    One year and one week ago this guy came into my life and it has been forever changed for the good. A friend of mine (W.York-Patten) takes amazing photos and invited me down to the beach for a photo shoot. My baby is growing up so quickly, and too soon. He is a friend to all, and once he...

    Straw bale gardening....

    Yes, I love it!! You will be hooked. I found something else nice about it this year. I buried a couple of stumps under the three bales from a couple of years ago. The mulching resulted in the complete disintegration of the cluster of maple stumps!!! I do love the added bonus of mulch for the...

    Einstein the Smallest Stallion

    In the Corgi world we have the LCS (Lesser Corgi Society). The idea is to tout how difficult they are to live with. Shedding. Active. Shedding, shedding... The intent is to try to keep the popularity down so the puppy mills don't catch on. I would maybe suggest that Einstein is simply a good...

    Dogs, cats, horses, minis, have you ever (or almost ever) thrown in the towel

    I think I may put a slightly different spin to this. Ten years ago I was sent home on hospice care. I was also going thru a bad divorce. Long story short when I got thru the divorce a couple of months later I moved out of the house in which my kids were born and into an area in which I knew no...

    TWINS!!!!

    It is hard to believe how judgmental and just plain mean some people can be. Please let them know that MY prayers are with them and the little filly. Kudos to them for giving her their all.

    Need some advice on my Beagle

    Sorry, but I must disagree here. I fed free choice until I had the first corgi, and have had dogs my entire life. Yes, some will do fine, but those are in the minority. Mine are in the majority with the first eating until he was sick, then eating it and going back for more. Even as an only dog...

    Need some advice on my Beagle

    Beagles, like corgis, tend to have an inflated idea of how much they need to eat. After all the lab work is done and cleared it might be good to try feeding the evening meal earlier so that it is "farther along" when he goes to bed. My guys are pretty sensitive to dietary changes as well and...
