I love your ideas Barbara,

I would have loved that last year when Betsy was "senior dog" and a very good idea with "before you buy a puppy" Cody's trainer last night was just telling me that so many dogs end up at the Humane Society between 6 to 9 months of age because the new owners just had no idea what they were getting into.

So it could be a great idea for prospective new puppy owners.

You have your thinking cap on!

Barbara,

Both excellent ideas! I know there are probably senior dog lists on yahoo, but to have one here specifically for the corgis is a great idea! (It's hard for me to believe/admit the number of seniors I have now - I still see them as puppies!)

I like the pinned thread idea on puppy buying too.

I couldnt agree more.

Senior dog as in a multi dog household, or as in an older corgi? Either way we qualify. I have a 12 yr old and a 6 month old corgi. If this was meant as a forum on health issues, my senior, Reba, has had cherry eyes in both eyes, has arthritis in a couple vertebrae, has trouble with her pancreas (special dog food and no fatty foods ever), and she had an artifical ligament put in one of her back legs. Sometimes I also wonder if she might have cataracts because she doesn't seem to see as well in the dark as she once did. Otherwise she's normally very healthy. Though since we've had our puppy (one month), she is fattening up eatting her own food and trying to get some of the puppy's food too. We're taking obedience lessons and they reward with treats so I try to do this separately so she doesn't also fatten up with treats of showing the pup that she can also do what I'm asking of him. Nice to know you other seniors. ~Shelly

We really like to keep it simple. So not too many subtle deviations, eh.
