What A Tuesday...Can We Have A Do-Over Please?
I usually don’t post on Tuesdays; but today (tonight) is an exception….
As I write this post this evening I ponder the question….How many lives does a Corgi have?
They say cats have 9 lives and our kitty cats have used a couple of their lives up, I am sure.
Well, Jozi (if she has a multitude of lives), definitely USED UP at least one of them today. Albeit, we are good puppy parents, but as with any parents, we all make mistakes and yesterday we made a potentially deadly mistake. I have blogged about Jozi’s ramp that daddy made her when she first picked us as parents because her little legs were too short to make it up and down the deck stairs. Over the past (almost) two years we have continued to allow Jozi to use the ramp because it is just easier for her overall and we had an issue a few months ago when she was limping but this has resolved itself. She uses her ramp all the time.
I have often said that Jozi is a bit clumsy and this is not without warranted proof…she is a klutz and she often gets moving so fast or gets so involved in a toy struggle that she trips and she tumbles (not enough to hurt her and it’s just in play time) but she is not the most agile sometimes.
This morning started normal like any other work day and before leaving Jozi needed a potty break. Her ramp was not laid down the side of the stairs and instead was positioned just over the top step with all the steps and concrete below (kind of like a diving platform) when yardwork was done. Their was a rabbit in the backyard and before I had a chance to stand in front of the ramp so she did not approach it and launch herself off, it was TOO late. She ran to the edge and fell down all the stairs head first and landed on the concrete. It all happened SO FAST and when she looked at me she had her eyes squinted down so small and looked like she was in so much pain. THEN I saw the blood and it was all over for me. Like a momma bear, I scooped up my baby and after two phone calls we were off to the vet for an emergency visit.
After a long wait, pokes, prods, tests, clean up and several rounds of conversations and a return visit I brought my baby Jozi back home to keep a close eye on her. No broken bones but a tooth appears chipped and she has a pretty good ‘bad’ chin injury and a few raw areas of skin on one side of her mouth. I have been watching her all day for signs of other issues such as indications of seizures from the head trauma but the vet believes that her snout took the brunt of the fall so her nose is pretty swelled up and her gums are pretty tender. Pupils were very dilated during the visit but this was due to anxiety (what the vet says), no blood in her nose so this is a good sign too. I am just worried that she will now have problems with her back or her ligaments (a few months ago we had a limping issue that thankfully resolved itself).
Rest, rest, and more rest are on the menu for tonight and Jozi got some cold and mushy Freezy Pup treats
(no hard ice for her right now) to soothe her swelling a little.
Tomorrow should be the day that we see more swelling but hopefully the beginning of healing too and no backwards steps. Her chin is still bleeding a bit every once in awhile but it’s probably because she keeps licking her chin (what a bad area to have an injury on a dog)….......you can’t put a cone on the chin/face/nose….oh my
What a day!
And, what a PRIME POST since just the other day we entered the Daily Corgi’s contest about pet safety and created a board on Jozi’s Pinterest page exclusively for Pet Safety. I guess we won't be winning any contest for safety....lesson learned though, the ramp WILL be put back in it's place always.
Looks like mom and dad get an “F” in pet safety this week.

Busy Weekend In The Corgi House...
Well, we had a busy weekend around here...Jozi got lots of extra exercise and attention!
First, our Saturday started with a walk at the Crohn's and Colitis annual meetup not far from our home!
We met some friends there and Jozi got some extra lovin and attention, saw some clowns with really BIG shoes painting kiddies faces, a BIG bounce house that had the short legged girl shaking a bit from fright as she watched the kids jumping up and down, a few other pups that were not as friendly (so we stayed our distance after the first growl-walk by), a trove of leftover popcorn that the vacuum cleaner-Jozi took care of quickly, a long walk down a trail following lots of other people walking for the cause and the niece of one of our friends got to hold Jozi's leash for the last leg of the walk and Jozi kept looking back at me like she was saying "why are you holding my leash mom?" Jozi did SO good overall and is getting better being around crowds of people.
How was your weekend? Did you do anything special or fun or exciting? We'd love to hear about it!

Jozi did SO good overall and is getting better being around crowds of people.
No pics of Jozi from this walk, she wouldn't even look at me, her mind was so busy watching everybody else, but I did get a chance to take some quick pics of two cuter-than-a-button sisters having their faces painted by some very patient clowns and then sitting together with love in their eyes and smiles and sparkles on their faces. Just so sweet that I could not miss taking their photos!
On Sunday morning, we went to a local farmer's market and did some walking, some looking and some quick and inexpensive buying.
We saw two other corgis (bonus!) and Jozi got to wander through the park and enjoy the warm weather and all the sights and sounds of the market, albeit without stray popcorn for her eat....thank goodness!
It's still too early to get too many fresh veggies but we picked up a few yummy veggies and saw other great items.....
Jozi also took some time out to pose on the park bench (for just a moment though).......

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day!
Getting ready to go to a local farmer's market so mom and Jozi can have some fun time together!
Jozi had fun at the Crohn's and Colitis walk last evening, Jozi met some friends and she also saw lots of new things, some scary things and got lots of walking in. We will have to post about it later so we can get to the market and get our dibs on some good veggies before they are gone!

Pack LOVE - Jozi --- Auditioning For a Pack Curator Spot - Read On!
A note to our fellow readers of Jozi's blog....we recently joined Pack Love and we are applying for a Pack Curator spot....we hope you enjoy the article we wrote!
We'll be back next week for another installment of Mantras for Mondays....until then, introducing...
The Wigglebutt Pack...
Handpicked and compiled by CK
Week of May 9, 2013
Hello all Corgi Lovers! This will be the first installation of the Wigglebutt Pack, courtesy of Pack Love and the all the humans that love their fur kids so very much!
I'm CK and I'm your curator of all things Wigglebutt - Corgi style!
This is a trial run for the crew at Pack Love (call it a trial run or a doggy daycare test day or whatever you like), I'm trying out for a prestigious spot on a great site devoted to all things dog and all things love.
In the world of Corgi there are two distinct breeds, the Pembroke and the Cardigan. There is a legend that the Corgi was a gift from the woodland fairies, and that the breed still carries the marks of fairy harnesses on its coat. (I can see angel wings on my Jozi girl who is a Pembroke, just beyond her shoulder bones so I'm pretty sure she is a descendent of the woodland fairies too)...
The Corgi is an intelligent, loving, stocky and sturdy breed with big beautiful ears that has energy that seems to be unending. Corgis have a double coat (be wary of the shedding season and keep your mouth shut, your nose covered, banish the color black from your wardrobe and be ready with the tools of the Corgi-trade and all will be well in your humble abode where our Corgis "own" us and love us.
Here are a few Corgi-fantastic tips, tricks, gear, gifts, love and life stories about the best breed ever....the Pembroke Welsh Corgi!
Thanks for reading about our desire to be a curator and we hope to see everyone soon!
Keep shaking those Wigglebutts!
Peace, Love, Barks and Treats Forever, CK and Jozi

| Corgisonwheels - Bobbie Mayer |
On the health watch, Bobbie Mayer is the leading voice for Corgis who develop DM. For those of you that do not know what DM is, it is Degenerative Myelopathy that is a progressive disease affecting the spinal cord. Many pups with long backs are at risk for DM just because of their "build" and Bobbie is an angel in the lives of many Corgis. Check out her book and order it here.
And finally, a joke from the Wigglebutt Pack...
A Corgi walks into a bar and asks for a drink, the bartender tells the Corgi, "Sure that will be be $2.00" Corgi says, sorry, I can't pay that. Bartender asks "What kind of Corgi can't even pay for their own drink?" Corgi replies, "A PemBROKE".
Upcoming issues could contain warm weather FUN and games.....and we also have a birthday coming up soon for a certain Jozi Wales Wigglebutt too! So stay tuned for some summer time Corgi antics!
