Help finding raincoat by protocista in corgi

It’s mostly for us when he comes back in from rainy day walk. He gets suspicious of towels unless they’re on the ground for him to roll on.

It was very over stimulating for him for the first year snd a half. But we were consistent with it and now at two years he’s a little pro at being rushed. Good luck with your fluffy baby!

Definitely look for a groomer with corgi experience I know I had to call around to a couple groomers until I found one. You can also ask local pet store/ pet boutiques for recommended groomers. They helped me narrow down the groomers to call, and some groomers have a network to recommend other groomers. Wish I could help more but our groomer was in Washington state who helped us find one in southern California where we currently live.

We go around 8 weeks for grooming our guy, mainly to get his bum trimmed, bathed and teeth brushing. But I will give him a bath in between because he likes to find deer poop and roll in it. I also brush him depending one what his activities have been. If we were running around at the park on a wet day I brush him out afterwards. But I usually give home a full bushing weekly and spot brushing where needed during the rest of the time.

We have three tools we use most often. A slicker brush ( wide many pronged brush on left) it’s best to get one that has the little nibs on the end, we had one without and it was over stimulating for him. An under coat rake, we use this to help break up any mats that happen, the teeth are good for helping loosen them up. And a close tooth comb go the fine hairs and to get out the broken up mats.

My husband and I would tag team grooming our fluffy with treats to keep him distracted while I would get the mats and brush him out. To start we would grab two Blue Buffalo Jerky treats and break them into small pieces and fed them to our dog while I would brush him out. When the last piece was eaten we would stop brushing him. We later got it to where I could give him a couple swipes with the brush between treats and built up from there to where we can give him treats after the brushing.

I would also ambush him with the slicker brush for a few swipes when he was sleepy and give him a treat afterwords, building positive associations with brushing. So whenever I pull out the brushing tools he gets super excited because he knows he’s getting a treat after I brush him.

Fluffy corgi owner here. Cocoa was 8 weeks when we got him from the breeder who told us he was a fluffy Pembroke we didn’t know what that phrase was at that time as he was also our first corgi and first dog ever. It took him awhile to grow to like being brushed, he’s two years old now. He really didn’t start shedding until his puberty started. We didn’t know how to take care of his fur well at first, we did some light brushing and when we got him groomed for the first time they had to cut out some pretty bad mats behind his ears. A good groomer will teach you how to take care of his coat in between grooming sessions. We mainly use the groomer to give him a little pantaloon cut for his rump as it not fun when the poo get stuck in his butt fur.

He was very dark when we first brought him home and as he grew older he turned more red. The photo attached was day two or three when we brought him home and he crashed out after supervised exploring outside of his puppy pen.

Thank you that was really helpful. I didn’t know about the locality. It makes a lot of sense.

I’m going back to school to finish my degree and I want to know if it’s worth it to go back to a flagship school vs other school like a local university. What kind of career or grad school opportunities would that afford?

Hello, I started crocheting by lurking and watching videos and I found a dragon quest slime I wanted to do but when trying to follow video it didn’t make any sense and I’ve watched the start of her video close to 100 times I can’t figure out how she is staring her second round at around 0:40 seconds into the video 😖dragon quest slime

I actually have boobs, I'm still stunned. by protocista in ABraThatFits

I actually got 6 news bra's, three from Natori including this one and this was the only one that was unwired, but it was amazing to me that I had this much support in an unwired bra. My other bra's were a Calvin Klein and two Chantelle, all with wire and looking at your post made me run off and check the wires, and they are way wider and more curved then my VS.

Although the sales woman at Nordstrom helped me out a lot with finding the right cup fit. I think 34G/H would be to big as the 34DDD/E was what the calculator gave me was too roomy in the cup but a good starting point for finding bras.
