Teaser Trailer – It’s Fishy In Here!

I was cleaning out the dog toy bag and found poor Mr. Fish.  I thought I would let Rogue say goodbye to him first.  Rogue didn’t really want to say goodbye…

Another installment of It’s Fishy In Here coming soon! 

(Sigh, why does she have to look so darn cute carrying that fish around in her mouth?!)

So how does a dog write a blog?

First she needs to think of a topic: Rogue_bubble thought

Then she needs to break out her writing utensils:

But the problem with writing utensils is that Rogue doesn’t have opposable thumbs, so they’re a bit hard to maneuver across the page.  So eventually, she decides word processing on the computer would be a better way to blog:

101 uses for corgi fur

003 Rogue unknowingly helped the environment today.  When I picked her up from the groomer, they had a little sign posted, saying that your dog’s excess fuzz would be donated to help clean up the Gulf oil spill.  I had seen stories previously (probably a MyCorgi.com post) about donating corgi fur for oil spill clean up, but it just never occurred to me that of course a pet groomer would be collecting tons of fur to help the cause!

(But to address a quick point: yes, I have Rogue shaved.  I’ve read that a corgi should never be shaved, because their double coat insulates them and keeps them cooler in the heat and warmer in the cold.  However, Rogue being a fluffy, she doesn’t have the same coat – believe it or not, she sheds less than the cats – and the longer coat does have a tendency to become matted.  So, every month and a half, the fuzz comes off.)

While Rogue was at the groomer, I had stopped and picked up a box of Milk Bones to refill her cookie jar.  I put the empty, collapsed Milk Bone box by the garbage can.  Rogue figured out immediately that I had brought a new supply of cookies into the house:
