Happy bailey

taken after our walk. Walks always energize us. ;) and best of all, its good exercise and completely free! :) time for dinner!

Free Sample of Mutt Mitt

Here are a couple of freebies I wanted to share:

On facebook, if you "like" Mutt Mitt on Facebook, you can get a free sample of their environmentally friendly poo-bags here: https://www.facebook.com/MuttMitt





While on facebook, visit the ALPO facebook page here, like them and request a free sample can. The ad on the page features what looks to be a corgi too.

Also, while you are at it, if you are a PETCO PALS member and there is a Petco by you, you can print out this coupon for a free can of Fancy Feast. I usually collect these types of things and donate them to the shelter or give them to friends who have cats - since I don't have a cat.

I love frapping!!

bailey after a frapping session. He stopped fo thhis picture. What a silly boy!!! :)

Shufflebone

found this neat new toy that supposedly stimulates the brain and nose so that bailey works for his treats :) he gets excited everytime i am loading it up!!!!

Look what we found, laurie and sadie!!!

laurie and sadie got this cool fro1n dog treat mold thing last christmas and bailey told me he wanted on too! Well we were lucky and happened to be roaming Ross and found one! :) itll come in handy this summer!

New addition to the family

Not a new corgi puppy, but a Hoover windtunnel, pet version. My kenmore died last week. Motor burnt out already. Finally replaced it today cause the fur was piling up! Bailey was happy about not having a vacuum until I brought Hoover home (maybe giving it a name will help). For Bailey, it was hate at first sight  - but I am so far very pleased. It's picked up a lot of stuff that I would've never thought - lots of dust - which you can see in the clear dust can thing. It's bagless - and 2 out of the three filters are washable - the third hepa needs to be replaced only yearly - depending on how often you use it. Also, I am figuring out that I will need to purchase a "pet approved" vacuum from now on - the previous kenmore progressive canister was purchased before I had Bailey. Whats the best vacuum youve owned and would reccommend?!!?? Hoover does make a lot of different models, and I just picked one in my price range. Luckily its got great reviews online. Hm..... I will defintely take your suggetsions for when I need to purchase another addition - hopefully not for a lot of years to come but you never know!

p.s. Couldn't get a better picture of Bailey and Hoover cause Bailey dislikes it so much he wouldn't get any closer...

Have a great weekend!

Stern grove

bailey grew up at this park and we decided to return thhis weekend for some fun!! :)

It's been so long!

Wow! We haven't officially blogged an entry for quite a while. So long in fact that I have the question..... since when did blogger change their whole website?? Hah! So, we have been keeping to our photo-a-day quest each day - but I've been doing that via mobile - so there hasn't been a reason to actually write a post up.

Bailey is doing quite fine. Everythings the same. I've been in and out of town, so he's been spoiled and loved and cared for by his grandma and aunts. :) He's since lost 1-2 pounds too, which I thank my sister for (longer walks! less treats!). We are finally past winter and into spring - and with the day becoming longer - I will defintely be taking Bailey on longer walks. Yesterday was one of those days. A lady even suprised us and came out of her house to say hello and told us of her quest to find a corgi. She asked if they were good with kids, barked, etc - but I had to remind her that all dogs were different and althought bailey is good with kids and only barked purposefully - it might not be the same with other corgis. It made me appreciate Bailey a lot more. He just stood there while I chatted with the lady for 15 minutes. What a good boy!

Bailey will be 3 1/2 soon.... and still has what I call... selective hearing! i.e. He'll be sniffing a bush. I'll say let's go!, Here!, treat!, but he continues to sniff the bush for messages. If i say kitty! callie (a bff)!, hell perk right up and pay attention. .... that booger. He is such a dork that way, but I sure hope "selective hearing" is a phase that he will grow out of!

Shedding is a big issue right now! I am pulling tuft and tufts of fur off of him, so much so I resorted to bringing the furminator to the park so the fur will just fly away with the wind rather than me collecting and vacuuming the fur at home. It works so much better (especially AFTER dog park time). A tired Bailey makes for a great combing opportunity!

We went last week to the vet to get his 5-in-1 booster shot. He hates the vet. He senses it the moment we arrive. I think the time they gave him the Bordatella through the nostril traumatized him for life.... or that time they expressed his anal glands. I'd have to ask him, but those are probably the top two reasons he hates to see the vet. Plus! we saw a corgi pup while we were there that was oh so cute! Oh! and an update on his cut paw - its healed up nicely and is back to 100%!

Bailey still has one personality trait that I do not care for - his dislike for young puppies. Bailey is bossy, macho, whatever you want to call it - and he likes to establish his rank among puppies. To a point where I have to scan the park to ensure there are no puppies younger than about 7 months for him to beat up - and leash him. It's not with all puppies, just those that do not show submission. He will not bite - but he does hover, pin, and bark! I am working to refocus his attention when I see him lock his sights on a puppy. It's 50/50. Sometimes, his "nature" rules over my voice.  I hope to one day report that this behavior is no longer existent - especially since I eventually want to add another corgi  - but definetly not in the next year or two.

Well! hope everyone is enjoying all our pictures!!! I'll have to think of something blogworthy to blog about for my next post!

p.s. If you haven't flipped your CorgiButts calendar yet - this month is Bailey! Mr. May! I made copies for people at work and now everyone can have a piece of Bailey!

Oooohhhh poppies!!

Happy May!!
