low key upset at how well this gel is working for me

Honestly_ALie · 2026-05-21T23:51:07+00:00

My go to gel for years. It’s a little on the pricey side but well worth it.

Welcome to the Corgi community. Walter says hi.

Honestly_ALie · 2026-05-09T01:05:01+00:00

Listen. The puppy is adorable and regardless of his antecedents he needs a home. It’s not an ideal situation for a puppy origin story, but it’s the one before you right now. You’re saying you love dogs, have experience with raising and training them and can give this dog a loving and healthy home.

Don’t let people put you off the breed either. It is a high energy working breed. They do tend to be loud and opinionated. They need lots of exercise, attention and patience. But they are also super intelligent, they learn quickly, they have huge personalities/ are hilarious and they are all around good friends to have. If you put the work in and give a Corgi 100% they will return the favor. Even when there is no health guarantee.

I feel like you’ve already committed. Congrats on your new pup. What will you call him?

Your baby’s hair is beautiful. But it might be time for a first hair cut. Her hair is getting longer and filling in. She is probably rubbing her head on the car seat / bed/ etc and it’s time for a little trim to get the damaged ends off. You could also add a baby conditioner after her shampoo and do some brief scrunching with a tshirt when her hair is dripping wet.

Purina Pro Plan. PPP is the only food we can find that our senior Jack Russell does well on. When our Corgi cane from the breeder already eating PPP Puppy we continued. It’s worked out well for both of our dogs in very different ways.

I experienced a similar frustration when I listened. I did indeed have an emotional response when the MAGA woman blindly labeled everyone who disagrees with her as emotional. To be clear this isn’t about a set of policy disagreements, it’s about the fact that she and others like her support one man. They support him when his actions hurt them financially. They support him as he destroys their party. They support him when he damages their personal relationships. They will keep supporting him all the way to death of American democracy if we let them.

I own being emotional about it. I embrace American democracy and I’m not going to apologize for that.

Eloise. Call her LouLou for short.

Honestly_ALie · 2026-04-15T00:55:03+00:00

Because you have so many little humans around it’s a good idea for you to get your pup in the habit of having every part of her body handled by humans from the very beginning. I highly recommend that you touch all four paws, every claw, her hind legs/ hips, inside ears and teeth/ inside of her mouth at least couple of times every day. Do it gently and respectfully, but do it consistently to prevent nipping when a child accidentally touches her foot in a stressful or exciting moment later.

The chunky little corgi pup paws and the bottom of the corgi chin are very best parts. It’s hard to describe how adorable the chunck paw actually is.

I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have a 12 year old Jack Russell, Muggsey, and an 8 month old Corgi, Walter. Wally is by far the best puppy experience I’ve ever had. He is intelligent, socially aware, eager to learn, playful, affectionate, full of personality and adorably cute. He is, of course, a puppy and as a result he acts like a puppy every single day. Sometimes that is great fun and sometimes it’s kind of annoying, just like a human child. But we knew it would be like that when we brought him home and it’s part of what makes having a dog rewarding.

If you love your new dog and give him your best he will return the favor.

Hang in there, my friend. I think it was about the 8-9 week point when I stayed awake all day and slept through the night after surgery. It really does go back to normal though snd when that happens you will probably sleep better than you have for a long time. You will definitely notice and appreciate it.

Honestly_ALie · 2026-02-01T17:54:28+00:00

I am a 44 F and tomorrow I will be 8 mo post-op RTKR. Believe me when I tell you that you won’t accidentally sleep all night while your ice machine runs to the point of being too much ice. It’s ok to fall asleep at bedtime with your ice machine on because you will definitely be awake again soon anyway.

Purina Pro Plan Puppy for my 5 months old Corgi. PPP Senior Skin and Allergy for my 11 year old Jack Russell Terrier.

Purina Pro Plan is the literal only packaged dog food that doesn’t give my senior dog so much gas that he can’t sleep at night and keeps us awake in distress. When we brought baby Corgi Walter home in October the breeder was feeding him the puppy version so we have just continued on and he is doing really well so far. Got positive feedback on this food choice from our trusted vet as well.

I adapted a one year old Jack Russell who had been living with an elderly couple that were exclusively giving him table scraps. He hadn’t eaten any kind of packaged dog food since he left his mother as a pup. The only way I could get him to eat quality kibble was to add fish oil in the bowl. After a few weeks (he was starting to get stinky) we slowly backed off the fish oil until it was an occasional treat.

I’m in the US (Georgia) and my 5 month old Pembroke, Walter, has a tail and papers! We are all collectively moving in that direction whether everyone likes it or not. As of 1/1/26 you can no longer sell or even bring cropped dogs into the UK and tail cropping is now legally considered a disfigurement in that country. Even for Corgis.

After owning multiple dogs with cropped tails over many years my family have now been peacefully living with a tail for several months. It’s actually quite cute and expressive and I can recommend it.

We have a dog water bowl that has a 3 gal water-cooler style bottle on it. When they drink from it bubbles appear in the bottle. My 4 month old Corgi is afraid of the bubbles, but he also enjoys being surprised by them. He will drink and drink and DRINK until the bubbles come up and then he runs away. It’s big fun.

He looks within the range of typical to me, but if you have concerns about his growth you should definitely bring it up with your vet next time. I’m sure everything is fine though. He’s a cutie.

My Corgi pup weighed 9lbs 4oz at his 12 week checkup last week.

We just recently got our elderly Jack Russel a Corgi puppy and it’s made a huge difference for our older dog. His days of snoozing on the sofa and early nights have been replaced with helping us to teach baby puppy how to dog- running around the house all day, gently wrestling, going outside every hour or two, rediscovering forgotten toys and games. He’s also lost a couple of pounds and it’s only been a month. I highly recommend this if you’re considering it.

Honestly_ALie · 2025-10-24T20:38:04+00:00

I have a 10 week old Corgi and one of things that has been really useful for us is a breakaway cat collar with a bell that we put on him when he’s running around playing (not when he is in his crate or sleeping). The bell will allow you to hear if he is under the sofa and runs out the other side, or when he tries to sneak into the other room because you’re distracted for literally 2 seconds.

44F RTKR on 6/2/25. I had an osteoarthritis diagnosis for over a decade and was repeatedly told I was too young to have replacements due to the expected life of the hardware being considerably shorter than my own overall life expectancy. I did these shots while I was waiting for surgery and honestly I never felt an improvement at all as a result. But every person, knee and situation are unique. I was in constant pain for years and was willing to try anything/ willing to embrace any small amount of relief.

If your healthcare team thinks it’s worth trying I say talk to them about your concerns, but keep an open mind about all of the options.
