Redirecting the dog conversation (from the name thread)

Oh then romani, you might want to reconsider a corgi. They shed twice a year. Once from January 1st to July first, then July 2nd to December 31st :wink: and that doesn’t count their coat blowing which is way more than normal shedding…but they don’t smell….I will give them that :smiley:

Nope. His corgi, his maintenance :stuck_out_tongue:

I’ll stick with my pits, great danes, etc lol

Fur everywhere, yes. But bi-daily vacuuming? Dream on. Once a week swiffer and vacuum at best. We just co-exist with the dust bunnies.

I have really, really bad allergies. It was necessary for us. By bi-daily I meant every other day (it was not the right word, I realize now, I’m not quite sure why that was what popped into my head…)

Something fun for dog lovers

Corgis are featured in #18 and #22

^ That was cute ! I doubt I am alone in this , but when I am out for a few hours or more, I get a greeting from them that is like the videos you see with dogs reuniting with their military moms and dads :slight_smile:

It’s nice that they are always so happy to see us .

My daughter comes to visit every few months and they go ballistic when she comes home !!

I didn’t realize corgis didn’t smell. Elkhounds are the same; when my boy gets wet he smells like a wet wool sweater.
We saw a elkhound puppy this morning. I had to take my mittens off so I could feel that puppy fur. :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this is the right thread for it, but I just wanted to share. As I mentioned, my pup had a leg injury, and we went to the vet for a follow up. They did a scan, and it turns out he had mild hip dysplasia (born with it) and a little bit of arthritis. So far, we don’t need any pain meds or any other intervention, other than some Omega 3 supplements. I am relieved about that. I am also relieved this is just an aging issue, not something life threatening. But that may be the reason he didn’t want to walk sometimes.
