The Corgeenies vs. A Pringles Can

I had an empty Pringles can lying around and I thought it would be a good torture device for Izzy and Frodo...

And as per usual, Izzy was not in a sharing mood...

...so I took it away and that didn't suit her either...

"Mom, if Iz promise be nice to Frodo I can haz it back?"

...so I gave it back.
*nibble*
Then I put Izzy away and gave Frodo a turn, which, not surprisingly, ended in...
FAIL.


The End.

But not quite! A member on a corgi forum I belong to let Izzy know that she better get her little fuzzy butt into the holiday spirit pretty darn quick!

Izzy'd better watch out,
She'd better not bite,
She'd better not cry,
I'm a tellin you why
Santa Dog is coming to town.

He's making pup's lists,
Checking 'em twice,
Gonna find out which corgi's naughty or nice,
Santa Dog is coming to town.

He sees Izzy when she's hoarding,
He knows just what she takes,
He knows when she snarls at her brother,
So be good, for goodness sakes!

Izzy'd better watch out,
She'd better not bite,
She'd better not cry,
I'm a tellin you why
Santa Dog is coming to town.

THANKS BOBBIE! :D

"bigger than his head"

This morning Frodo had his first "bigger than his head" meal. He loved it and was very sad when I took it away. The pork shoulder (I think that's what it is anyway) is 5.12 pounds, and he usually eats somewhere between 7-10 ounces a day, so this puppy is going to last us quite a while. I planned on taking it away when he had consumed roughly that amount of meat, but I found out it's really hard to keep track of how much they are taking off of a piece of meat this size, so I just took it away after a little while.

He stayed away from the skin part for the most part, which made me happy as I'm sure it will give him loose stools. I thought about taking all the skin off, but I really don't want to take the skin away from his diet as I know it is important. I figure tonight he will just get a chicken gizzard and tomorrow morning he can have at the shoulder again. Rise and repeat until it's gone.

I made a video of him eating...


Some pictures from the video...

The Pork.
Waiting to be released.
It haz a heartbeet? :p
Uh...nom?

Mini-Nom.
Renegade Earz.
And my favorite picture of the day...

And last, but certainly not least, a very sad Izzy who had to be sequestered in the living room because she thought she should be able to eat the ginormous pork too.

Dis. bees. abuse.

Hopefully she will one day be able to eat big meals like this, but I'm not holding my breath. Her stomach is just so tempermental. Right now I'd just like to be able to feed her something other than chicken!

Flyball 10/3

Had flyball tonight, woot!
Started of kinda bad as I was running late and then when I got to the non-public parking lot for the training club, it was packed. Because apparently high school football night trumps the fact that it is non-public!! So I ended up parking in about 6 inches of mud, which I had to wade through the get Izzy out of her crate in the back of the car.

Like so...

So I spent the night with muddy shoes and sweatpants, worrying about whether I would be able to get my car out of the ginormous amount of mud it was parked in. Didn't make for a happy owner.

Then my trainer worked on some ball work with Izzy, which of course went...not so well. I've been instructed to go back and begin back-chaining the whole sequence again. My response...

:(

Anywho, after that we did some hurdles and Izzy did decent. I'll just be happy when she has enough ball drive to get the ball off the chute, then we'll be getting somewhere!

Video of Izzy hurdling...

You can't see it all that good on the video, but she goes so fast that she slides when she gets to me and tries to stop. xD
You can also see how food motivated she is in the vid. She doesn't want to leave me (who has food), until she finds out that my trainer has good food too. And if you didn't catch it, Izzy tried to take my trainer's fingers off because she was holding food. *le sigh*

Izzy after hurdles. Being content.

That was pretty much all we did tonight, it was a short practice, which made me a little glad, I'm so tired and I'm definitely going straight to bed after I post this. There's probably a million errors in this post as it is, lol.

On another note, I went to Wal-Mart today to get sidewalk chalk (another post for another day) and a bed for the dogs. I ended up getting them a microfleece comforter, it is soooooooft. I was tempted to just keep it for myself and leave them with their old towels, :p.

The Goods.

Anyway, I thought I had picked up a twin, turns out it is a king sized sheet O.o It's ginormous.

Before I even had a chance to rearrange it for the dogs Izzy claimed it as hers.
Guess Frodo is stuck with Green Chair :/
Then she got an itch.
And looked cute.

Tomorrow on, As the Corgi Turns... Frodo will encounter his first "bigger than their head" meal. A 5 pound pork shoulder to be exact. It will be taped. And photogrpahed. Srsly, it's gonna be huge! :p
