👀 Watch out for dubious dog supplements
Last Monday we had a scary incident with Winston. I went to take him out for his night wee and when I picked him up to place him in his harness, he cried out in pain. He couldn't stand up for more than a few seconds — and suddenly I started panicking. Had something happened to his spine? It was 9.30pm when my husband and I drove him to the emergency vet, 10 minutes away. We sat in the waiting room until, finally, we were seen at 11pm. The vet did lots of reflex tests, checked Winston's legs...
💰How much we spend on our corgi
I often talk about owning a Corgi on a budget. Today, I thought I’d break down how much we spend each year on Winston. £250 paid for Winston (we rescued him) £40 per month insurance £20 every two months for nutritional powder £40 per month on food £100 teeth clean / year £60 groom / twice per year £300 for flea and worming / year £50-£100 on toys or harness / year £300+ on dog sitters while we travel / year £60 on poo bags / year That takes our annual total to roughly £2,050+ per year. Does...
We love his new dog car bed 😍
My sister loves babysitting Winston. There are a few reasons for this (she loves the way he follows her around the apartment, she loves the way he curls up beside her in bed), but one of the biggest is that he's so easy to take out on a walk. For context, my sister and I grew up with Irish Terriers. Irish Terriers, or "Red Devils" as they're known, can be notoriously headstrong and (at least in my experience) have a tendency to completely ignore their owner when faced with something enticing...
😮 Those naughty royal corgis
Last week, on my way back from meeting a friend for coffee, Winston and I rode the top floor of the bus from Notting Hill home to Clapham, where we live. I was listening to my podcast, minding my own business, when I noticed a gentleman out the corner of my eye. He was dressed beautifully in a suit, tie and crevette, with silver hair and an umbrella in hand. As we pulled into the next bus stop, he got up to leave -- but not without first crouching down to stroke Winston. I removed an earphone...
The corgi who never forgets
When my husband proposed to me on a weekend away in 2021, Winston went to stay with our good friend, Evie. She was living in a flatshare at the time with a few other people and as you can imagine, Winston had the best time being showered with attention, kisses, and endless treats (because who can deny that face?). A few days ago, I had to go and pick up a parcel from a newsagent on that same street. Evie no longer lives there, but can you guess who still believes that she does? 😆 When we got...
My antisocial corgi met the office horse 🐾
Once or twice a month, my husband takes Winston with him into the office. Fortunately, it’s a very dog friendly office. Which, as you can imagine for slightly (read: very) anti-social Winston, is not ideal 😆 There’s one dog in particular who absolutely terrifies him. And to be honest, I don’t blame Winston. This beauty – Macca – looks more like a small horse than a dog. Isn’t he beautiful? Snoot boops and bunny hops, Winston & Bella x 🧘🏼 Stress levels matter to them as much as us In case you...
Corgi overboard! 😅
Do you have a sibling or a close friend that’s your total opposite? Like you’re the shy, more retiring personality type while they’re bold and happy to talk to anyone? Or vice versa? Well… that’s Winston and his brother, Duke. Winston is the nervous, shy, much-prefers-humans-to-dogs Corgi, and Duke is the confident, bossy, loves everyone (four legs or two) Corgi. There’s no better visual representation of this than this photo of Duke paddleboarding... something Winston would be far too...
