Yup, they're big boys.

Henrik is about 85 lbs and 23" at the shoulder and Otto is about 75 lbs and 25" tall.

They eat 30 lbs of food a week.   :P

We start private training with them in couple weeks.

Thought I'd share a couple pictures of my two cheeky monkeys.  Both are Pembroke Corgis.  Some of the best damn dogs I've had the honor to be owned by.  The red/white male is Phinneas (Finn) and the tri-colore female is Penelope (Penny).  Finn will be two years old in May, and Penny just hit five months. 

A couple weeks ago at the store.

It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Daycamp held a superbowl party.

Dulce is all about furry squeaky toys.  Kong tug-n-toss, furry football, cats, racoons, squirrels, . . . .


Yep, they made her the Referee.

Just another goofy dog on Youtube.  Though, I think a better command would be "sic balls!"

Seeking the advice from you other dog owners.

I have been feeding my dog Sara 1/2 cup of food twice a day for years and its been enough. Many times what goes in her bowl in the morning is still there at dinner time.

Recently she has been wanting more. A lot more. As an experiment the other day I gave her a half cup at a time 4 times before she seemed satisfied.

When I got her 11 years ago she at like this but it was because she had not been fed regularly by her previous owners. She's a rescue dog. It took three years before she felt comfortable that food would be there for her.

She's 12 or 13 years old and weighs 50 pounds and her activity level has not changed.

She's at that point in her life where she still loves to go for walks but just as easily would sleep in her chair (which she spends a lot of time doing)

I don't want to be overfeeding her but at the same time I don't want her to be hungry all the time.

Any ideas on what's up?  She was at the vets recently for a checkup and all was well.

Sorry ML no suggestions.  Both are pups would likely eat a whole bag in one sitting if given the chance.

What makes you think all of a sudden she wants more?

Any changes to your routine? New cat?  From how you explained her history is sounds like she's feeling like something/one is going to take her food away.



Otto's newest trick:



Henrik can do it too, but wouldn't sit still for a photo op.

She just lurks after she eats. Licks her chops. Gives us the "look"

I wonder if that's part of it, but its still new behavior.

my dog scar is 12 1/2, hes a flat coat retriever, and he is CONSTANTLY hungry... The problem is he can no longer walk. he had a vertebrae injury, which led to a spinal injury, which led to surgery, which led to him no longer having use of his hind legs... Other than that, hes completely healthy, still plays catch, still destroys his toys & can get along awfully well by crawling around using his front legs.. but because of his inability to walk & run, if i feed him as much as hes used to, he would become increasingly overweight.. the vets solution, green beans & carrots... so he gets his regular dog food & then also gets supplemented in between normal feedings with boiled green beans & boiled carrots... they fill him up, but the calories are much much less than what he would get eating regular dogfood & the veggies are good for him :)

Just reminds how awesome dogs are.  There was a three-legged dog at the dog park I frequented in VA years ago that was faster than anything on four legs.  And there is a video floating around online of a little dog with no front legs that walks on his hide legs all day long (he was used at a Veteran's hospital in the amputee wing to provide inspiration for recovery).  Examples are endless...

Just amazing how they just go on living & wagging 100% no matter what life throws at them.
