Peanut Butter Experiment

Our Cadwaladr loves to chew everything and it is the biggest problem for us. When we go for a walk, he keeps looking down at the floor and he eats everything on the street. Stones, leaves, pine cones, etc... We know we must stop him because he could be in a big trouble. I often hear about dogs who need surgery to open their bellies to take the things they ate out. We are trying to watch him very carefully not to let him eat things, but it is not working so far. We are going to ask his puppy class teacher how we can solve this problem.

He got his new toy 'Kong' recently and he likes it quite a lot. We heard that we can spread peanut butter inside, and we were so sure that he would go crazy smelling and licking his new toy. And as I said, he loves EVERYTHING. We were ready to watch him to go crazy, but we found we were wrong.

HE DID NOT LIKE IT !

He smelled and licked it a few times, and his face turned very sad and he went to his bed.

' No peanut butter, please! '

We usually don't have peanut butter, so we went to the supermarket only for your peanut butter today! Give us back our time and money, Cadwaladr! However, I think it would work to stop him eating everything he sees on the ground if we could spread peanut butter everywhere.

Sugar Loaf

This Saturday, if the weather is fine, we will go hiking to Sugar Loaf mountain in Monmouthshire which is 1,955 feet high. What a yummy name for a mountain!!!!It has been one of our dreams to go hiking with dogs, so since Cadwaladr has come to us, one of our dreams has come true. I really think dogs are wonderful. They are the best companions for human beings.

Luckily, Cadwaladr is a born hiker! When he was very little, he used to climb up the sofa a lot. He looked like he was training himself to climb Mount Everest.

Dogs are wonderful because they already have natural hiking equipment; their paws and their warm fur coats are great for hiking. Compared to dogs, we, human beings need quite a lot! Hiking boots, walking poles, rain wear, etc.

Today, he has got a new toy,Kong Classic Toy, Medium. When he gets a new toy, he always jumps around before he starts playing with it, without exception, so he jumped around before he played with his Kong. We put his treat in it, so he played with it crazily!!!! Corgis are a quite intelligent breed, so it seemed very easy for him to get his treat.

Puppy Class

Hello, everyone!

This is Cadwaladr.

Sunday is a holiday for most people, but not for me. Being a puppy is quite busy, you know. My parents put me in a puppy school and it is every Sunday. I love puppy class a lot because many friends of mine are waiting for me there! My puppy friends are a Golden Retriever, a Siberian Husky, and a Boston Terrier! They are so friendly and well trained. We are learning to be socialized. It takes one hour for the class, but you know, I am only a little puppy, so after a while, I get a little tired and I sit in the corner of the room. My teacher worries about my timidness. Will I be alright?

Last time, we learned how to do 'Down', but it is VERY difficult for me to go down because I am already down with my short legs. After the class, I practiced 'Down' a lot at home and finally I have managed to do this. Do I look alright?

There are lots things to learn for me! Puppies are VERY busy!

Tara now!

P.S. This is me very tired after the class!

Cadwaladr.
