Momma's Heart Attack!

Today was an ordinary day. Sammy was up to his usual antics where he was chasing the leaves through the window. Afterall, it is HIS job to catch the leaves! Even if the leaves are on the other side of the glass.


While I was sitting on the floor, working on my laptop, Sammy bounded over to me. With a RED SPOT on his white chest! Immediately my guard was up. I went over to the window to see this:

His little paw was bleeding. In fact it was into his little nail of his paw. I got the bleeding to stop. I pulled him into the bathroom and put a little antibacterial on it. Then I wrapped his little paw with some bandage wrap to keep it from starting again. He didn't even mind. After getting peanut butter ice cream, Sammy just went over to his window and laid down.

After just a couple of hours, he was all fine. Limped a little, but no bleeding or anything. Dogs are good little healers! Really, the worst part was thinking how it could have been very bad...but it wasn't! I guess Sammy was bound to get hurt before turning 1! Lol.
It is quite shocking to have your puppy come over to you bleeding. Everything happens fast, but at least it wasn't too bad. Alls well that ends well.

Day 361

Sammy is almost a year old. If there is one thing an (almost) one year old corgi has learned, it's how to sleep! Sammy has his nightly routine. As I have said before, Sammy lies on his back on a pillow. During the winter, he would slide between Erik & I, probably from being so cold during this very cold past winter. As it has gotten warmer he has been able to stay at the top of the bed. He has his own pillow. Sammy takes the pillow above me and is parallel to the wall at the head of the bed. When he is feeling particularly cuddly, he puts his head on mine or next to mine....on my pillow!!!
The trouble is, if I move, he moves. That means, I haven't been able to get a picture. FINALLY I have some pictures of the sleeping puppy! He does know how to relax!

We Are Family

I made Sammy & Erik take some family photos for Easter. I'm sure they are not especially pleased because Sammy's birthday is this upcoming Saturday (April 10) and we are going to hafta take year photos Saturday, too. Haha. Oh well, it's important! And they got yummy Easter cheesecake! I made a carrot cheesecake for Easter, basically it's the best parts of cheesecake and carrot cake combined! It was delicious! And I will be making two cakes for Sammy's birthday this weekend. A dog cake (I googled a recipe for cake and frosting for dogs) and a people cake. So they will be rewarded again! Haha.
Anyway, just thought I would post our latest family photos!

Happy Easter!

Sammy would like to wish everyone a very Hoppy (Happy) Easter!

And...our newest corgi. We named him Charlie. It is an Easter present from my mom.
