Natures Medicine

If you ever have a bad day a happy dog is great medicine. It is so nice to come home to somthing that is always happy to see you.



**I LOVE YOU MOM**











It started off bad when I noticed Odin stool. It looked like there was a casing on it. I took a picture, but some dont like too look lol. Of course I was the worried mother, but I took advise from my fellow corgi friends to just wait it out. And of course hes fine:)

Then my bent truck key finally decides not to work. Leaving me stuck at school. All I wanted to do was get home to Odin so I could try and get him to poop again. Luckily I gave a my boyfriend the spare key..problem solved.

On my way out to my last class..40 min away.. I went to lock the door and BENT THE HOUSE KEY! It almost broke in the door..that would have been bad. So now I couldn't lock the door....but I had to go. Luckily again..my duplex neighbor has a spare key to the house...

But like I said, my boy Odin is always there for me:) How can u tell a pup no when he looks at you and tells you he loves you and that hes hungry lol.

Reviews.

Natures Miracle Stain and Odor Remover
This stuff works well right after an accident. It doesn't do too well with set in stains.







Innova Puppy Food

I LOVE this food. Odin is an optimal pooper and has never had diarrhea. His coat is beautiful. And its a plus that I can pronounce everything on the label. He has never eaten his poop either. I know some puppies have that problem.








Kong (Stuffing)Toys
I bought these toys since they had such wonderful reviews. I have found that it can be hard to get the left over bits out. I have to soak the toy in water to get the food inside soggy. Out of all the Kong stuffed toys I would say that this one is my favorite. They are easier to clean than the other styles.







Nylabone(s)
I love this chew toys. Odin gets going on one and can go for an hour. You just have to watch them because they can bite chunks out..you may find them in their poop later...

Thinking about a puppy?? This is what I have spent.

Odin is a little over 4 months now. This is what I have spent if you are thinking about a puppy.

Dog Food
I feed him Innova Puppy. Remember you have to ween puppies off a food slowly. He went from Eukanuba  to Innova. I bought a small bag  at first to make sure he would eat it. Then once weened off I bought the biggest bag I could @ $30.00. Once he finished that bag I was forced to get a smaller bag since that was all they had. Now that I know where I can find the food I will continually get the bulk bags. Thus saving money.

Dog Food total @ 4 months

$60.00

This will include nail trimmings, toys, necessity's, training, AKC, implanted chip...impulse purchasing counts!

*** I am posting this to be an aid to those looking into buying a new puppy***

What happened to the puppy?

Every time I look a Odin I am amazed at how much he has grown. He is currently 17lbs, when I got him he was 6lbs! His puppy fur is almost gone and his butt fluff is looking good:)

He is all up to date on shots. He had  4 rounds! Next is the big "snip snip"...I have noticed him starting to mark places in the grass. Luckily we have not had any mounting yet, but I am sure that will come in the next few days.This is the first time I have ever had a boy dog...he embarrassed me in puppy class by letting it all hang out when the trainer was holding him to massage him..."PUT IT AWAY ODIN!"...eeek!!

His canine puppy teeth are still in, I can't wait until he loses them! Hopefully I can get at least one of them.

I have taken him to the dog park 5+ times since he has his shots. He gets excited when we pull in to the parks parking lot! So cute! Next Saturday will be his first Central Florida Corgi Meet-up, I know he will be great. At the parks I allow him to play with the big dogs. Its like they know he's still a puppy, they are nice to him. I keep a close eye out on all the dogs there just in case. So far I see the same people since I go at the same time. Its nice to get to know all the dogs:) Yesterday, Odin was lucky to have another corgi visitor! His name was Chester, he's about a week older. They are very similar in size! What a relief! For a while there I felt like I was over feeding my pup.

This is Odin and Lando Oliver, a friend in Jacksonville:) (Odin has the white leg)
