We do more than eat!



These were taken on Friday, just after they ate a meal. They always get very playful after they eat, which is fun to watch. The wide white blaze belongs to one of the boys, and the other pic is of a couple of the girls trying to get one of the boys to play with them. Today, Mom and I are working on getting it set up in the dining room so they can move out there at least for the daytime and see more of the world.

Surgery updates

Arrow had her spay surgery on Wednesday, all went well, though according to her new mom, Tracey, she's not pleased at having to wear an E-collar. Hermione had her spay surgery yesterday, and all went well with her, too, and she too, does not like having to wear a silly cone on her head. She is resigned to her fate, however, but I'm sure will start sighing and rolling her eyes soon.

Beautiful Boy



Gryffin (Tina Sparkle's dad) was out in the front patio this morning, and I caught him posing. He's such a pretty boy, so I took some pictures. He's a bit out of sorts these days as Decker came in season on March 4, so he and Mr. Darcy are having pee offs wherever they know the other has been! Oh, the fun of having intact boys around the house.
Puppies are doing well, they ate three times yesterday and we graduated to two plates today since they can't fit all their heads around the one 10 inch pie pan I was using. Next adventure for them will be their move to the dining room, but I'll have to do some rearranging of furniture first. And we have a wedding to go to on Saturday so it may have to wait until Sunday for the actual move.

Another day, another bowl of yummy goodness!



Another picture of the group eating and then a picture of the group cleaning each other after the fact. They get almost as much food on their bodies as they get into their bodies, but they are getting more proficient each day. Yesterday they got to eat from a bowl two times and ground puppy kibble was added so that was fun.
And I had a chance to give Andrea a call to check on Salsa and her puppies. They are all doing well, and eating from a bowl, too. So life is good with all the Rincon Corgis.
Oh, and a report from Arrow as well, she's settling in and learning the ropes at her new home. Thanks, Tracey and Kurt!

Eating from a bowl!



Everyone had a great time eating from the pie plate today, they gobbled it up in less than 15 seconds. First I had my little boy eat by himself for a bit, then let the rest of the puppies have a go. They were all quite delighted to give it a try.

Little Munchkin boy

I took the little Munchkin boy to the vet today. He sounded a bit rattly yesterday evening. Dr. Kristin listened to his lungs and heart, with two different stethoscopes, but couldn't hear anything odd. He's only gained a small amount compared to almost everyone else, but I think he's just not a very strong nurser. She suggested (and I had the same thought) that I try a bit of rice cereal and formula in a bowl. We tried that this afternoon and he did quite well. The others were all quite interested so I'll probably make up a pie pan of deliciousness tomorrow for all of them to try. I'll try and get pictures of their first communal meal, it's always an amusing couple of minutes.
Thanks to everyone for their nice comments, I really enjoy reading them.

Girls gone wild




Here are three of the four girls, hard to believe they'll be 3 weeks old tomorrow.
I'll call Andrea for an update on Salsa's bunch later today.
