Chaucer the Corgi

09/05/2024

Sorry I've been absent - work is just a LOT right now, plus I have frozen shoulder which doesn't make raising my arm fun.

But on to more positive things. Our across the street neighbor, Betty, we really didn't know that well, but our dogs had met. She called to get boarding info and I invited "Winston" the King Charles Cavalier Spaniel" to visit "Chaucer" the Pembroke Welch Corgi for a three-night doggie sleep over so she didn't have to go to all the inconvenience of boarding. (I feel like I should start polishing my tea service)

I'd say in less than 24 hours, doggie sleepover is going pretty darn well.

Quite frankly, I'm not sure Chaucer the Corgi remembers he IS a dog.....so we've got two Kings in the bed.

These two little girls need a home! They're in St. Louis but I would so go pick them up tomorrow. Chaucer the Corgi needs a friend, and they're 5 years old - perfect for my baby.

Prayers, hopes, send them a message saying I'm not a Childless Cat Lady, but these babies could be little Princesses!

I already want to kiss them!!!

Tonight we have 2 female 5 year old Corgis. Where are all the corgi lovers?? Flood the corgi feed!

We need one or two people willing to open up their homes to one of these breeder release mommas. Pickup would be at 7pm.

As Oprah would say, he's living his best dog life! The weather in Michigan has been perfect and he's been able to roam a huge yard and get tons of exercise. This morning he took his first boat ride! I have a feeling he's going to find "home" very boring....

It seems that Mr. Chaucer is enjoying his vacation to the lake. Everything has gone very well, except when that first wave came in he jumped like something was going to get him! He's never been a fan of the water (he will NOT get in the pool), but something tells me his curiosity is going to have him out there before the end of his visit.

Long overdue update: Chaucer is still not walking as well as we'd like, but he's about to have a much-needed change of scenery. He's buckled up in the car with Daddy and they're headed to Wall Lake in Michigan, where Chris spent the summers with his family. Lots of room to stretch out and smell and see new dog things on their "Father & Son" trip. Bone Voyage, Mr. Chaucer!

Well, Mr. Chaucer's in for a surprise.....he's going back to rehab! He gets around very well, but I am not going to tolerate his lazy sliding around self. They also bribed him with treats (he's so food motivated I could probably get him to clean the kitchen) - Mean Mommy says do the work; get finished, then a treat. Someone thinks he needs to get his $10K ass up off the grass.

Rehab - Phase Two!!....Chaucer needed to get on a water treadmill so he could build some core strength (like Chaucer, like Mama), so he's now going to the Vet Rehab Center that's in the back of the Emergency Surgery Center on Trinity Mills. (If you've ever had the pleasure, you'll know exactly where I mean.) He and I take a field trip twice and week and I drop him off for swimming, plus a ton of other exercises. Today there was a different rehab person there and she stopped me when I was picking him up and said that she had read his chart and that she was incredibly pleased with his progress, based on how bad he was before surgery. WOO HOO! She said he did 15 minutes on the water treadmill (I guess that's good), and he was "a little angel". (NOTE: "A little angel" is code for you are paying us a fortune.) Kisses to my baby. He MIGHT be a tad tenacious.....Hugs from Chaucer and he thanks you for all your thoughts, prayers, and positive energy. He would kiss you if he could 🐾🐾❤❤
