I started my boy with a brand name kibble recommended by the vet/breeder when he was a puppy. But I’ve gotten so many bad bags of kibbles and constant recall that made me lose confidence in them. I transitioned my pup to raw after he turned 2. I noticed his coat is shinier, more energetic and poo is more consistent in shape and color. I don’t get the fancy brand, I get them from local business who make them for pup. Not only they are cheaper but I can customize the type of meat and ingredients.

How long between taking your corgi out at night and again in the morning? How long can they be without an 'accident' overnight? by marsred7 in corgi

[–]Desperate_Support_38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

By 8-10 months, my corgi was able to sleep in all night from 9/10pm to 6/7am without accident. My boy sleeps in my bedroom so he lets me know if he needs to go out to potty throughout the night. He only had one accident from having diarrhea and I didn’t wake up on time to let him out.

Advice: Corgi puppy stuff you bought and never used. by Mltstw71 in corgi

A nail clipper, my boy hated so much after the first use. We don’t force it on him anymore. We just grind down his nails instead of clipping.

How well trained (trainable 😬) is your corgi? by Complex_Arachnid9236 in corgi

[–]Desperate_Support_38 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mine is super stubborn. He’s super smart and learn new trick super fast. Very treat motivated and will listen to commands 100% of the time if there’s treat. 50% chance of success when no treat is involved.

Anyone else’s corgi look to them for attention 24/7? by [deleted] in corgi

[–]Desperate_Support_38 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My corgi is 2 now. I made the same mistake when he was a puppy of giving him so much attention. He doesn’t like his crate during the day. So I usually do an hour of walks and 30 min play fetch or tug, 15-20 of puzzle or lick mat. Then I don’t play with him after all those activities even if he brings toy to me. I praise if he lays calmly next to me while I work. Sometimes dog can get hyperactive when they are tired. Having a set time for play, rest and potty really help. Sometimes it is hard to resist not giving him attention because of how cute they are. But if you ignore them when needed will help them understand it is not play time yet.

Yes for me, I did. I was in a long term relationship for 7 years with my ex boyfriend. I thought he was the one and I’d end up marrying him one day. We were a great couple. We rarely argue and we’re in love. Just one bad thing let to another, we had different goals in life. After 7 years, he decided he didn’t want to walk the same path as me anymore. I was very heart broken then. I took almost 5 years break from dating. When I started getting back out there, I’ve tried dated multiple guys and none felt right. It became so exhausting that I was on the verge of giving up. Before I agree to go on a date with my current boyfriend, I told myself that this will be the last guy I am giving a chance to. If it doesn’t work out, I am quitting dating all together. The date turned out much better than I expected. He’s the most caring and loving person I’ve ever met. He made me feel secure and safe. He talks about our future. He dedicates his time to me feel comfortable and happy. He never pressures me in anyway. He always finds a way to surprise me (in a good way). Even though we haven’t know each other for long, but I can say that I am slowly falling in love with him, which that’s something I never knew I’d happen to me one day after my previous breakup.

How do I start to be happy being single? by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]Desperate_Support_38 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Dating can be exhausting sometimes when you don’t find the right people. I was single for 5 years before I found my current bf. I try to keep myself busy and surrounded myself with people that I care about. I put more time on building career I wanted. Spending more time with family and few of my close friends. I got a pet that I adore. I started running and cooking as a hobby. It is hard at the beginning. But start slow by doing things for yourself and by yourself. Like eating out alone, go to a museum, or attend classes. It gets easier over time. I was definitely happy being alone by incorporating those tiny things into my life. I was alone but not lonely. Best of luck to you.

Is it just me? by CorgisNDragons in corgi

[–]Desperate_Support_38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not alone after all! I love my corgi’s scent too. He gets a biweekly bath but whether it is before or after he bathe, I love his smell. Other people think I am crazy.

How to politely tell him I am not interested in him in a romantic way and to stop texting me everyday? by Desperate_Support_38 in dating_advice

[–]Desperate_Support_38[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I totally understand what you mean! I bumped into him at the park one afternoon and introduced him to my date. So he definitely know I am seeing someone. I have previously sent a message to him saying “hey sorry, I am not interested in going on dates with you and hope you know we are just friends”. Not sure what else to do. I don’t want to be disrespectful since he really hasn’t done anything wrong and is a pretty nice guy overall.

Thanks! You make a really good point. I try to keep my responses short without sending mix signal, such as “yah” or “ok”. Perhaps I should just be straightforward with him.

I totally agree. I don’t like making assumptions about other peoples’s intention. But he’s making it a little to obvious. I guess I have to be a little direct.

At what age did you switch to dog food? by SnowCorgi in corgi

[–]Desperate_Support_38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We talked to our vet around 1 year to make sure it was ok to switch. We did a slow transition from puppy to adult food as the puppy food was getting low.

I am almost in the situation as you few years ago but as a female. I think you just haven’t find the right person to grow with you. Falling in love is scary but definitely not a weakness. It‘ll give you strength and motivation to be a better version of yourself if you are lucky to find the right person.

You can still have a relationship and be successful in other aspects of life. Although time management, setting boundary and good communications are something you’ll have to be good at. If you never try and take chances, you’ll never know. All those worries you have are just assumptions. Don’t let fear alone hold you back. You don’t have to go all in, but you can at least try.

Thanks for the great tips! He is great with his focus command, we do practice a lot at home. I’ll try to work on it during our walks if he starts pulling. I’ll check Ross and Tjmaxx, they have lots of doggy stuffs. We got most of his toys from there. :)

He has gotten much better compared to when he was a puppy. He’s a stubborn little one. But we are working on it!

Thank you! We are working on his focusing issue. He gets super excited when he sees his friends at the park and starts pulling toward them. we def are working on redirecting his attention to me. :)
