Rover.com: Elroy's Stay

Elroy arrived Thursday December 22, to stay with us for 5 days. He didn't care for me the first day but he adjusted to me.

He really missed his family when they left him here. He would bark in the middle of the night for them. I thought it was a little annoying but once uncle Vincent came over he was more relaxed. I think it was because he stayed in the living room and there was someone there. It made him feel more comfortable.

When he was here, mama gave us plenty of snacks and treats. He started even doing the lay down command to get treats from mama. We found out that he was a very hungry dog. He was really good at giving the puppy dog eyes to get more food. Mama didn't always give him yummy treats but she did end up making a new batch when he was here.

We took a long walk together too! Since he is a little older than me, he was very tired when we got back. It was exciting to have another person to walk with on our weekend walks around the neighborhood. These last few days in our area has been really cold and almost frigid outside that all you want to do is curl up in the blankets on the couch.

On his last day here, it was Christmas day. Mama decided to let him wear the the santa hat that was too big for me. He didn't want to pose for a pic for his family but he stayed still better than me to let mama take a pic of him laying on the ground, not happy about the hat. He was trying so hard to get the hat off. LOL.

Elroy was a awesome house guest for the holidays. The kids and family loved how calm and loving he is.

We would definitely have him back as a house guest again~!

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did. Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions: Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter. Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

Loyal Companion Grand Opening

Mama went to the grand opening of Loyal Companion this weekend in Rockville, Md. She picked up a free goodie bag with new treats and bought us some small toys. I already chewed up and tore up my blue birdy. Sister got the unicorn and we have the sock monkey left to play with. I can't wait for mama to open up the new treats for us to munch on~!

Grooming Stitch

Last week, mama went through a phase where she brushed me for a whole week, since I was shedding so much. Mom was so frustrated with my undercoat. Mama here: I researched how to get Stitch's shedding under control. I watched a youtube video of this lady, who has 14 corgis, showing her weekly routine of what she would do to keep her corgi's coat under control and keeping them beautiful. Brushing with a brush, then with an undercoat comb, she used conditioner's and paw balm. I can also use this technique on Jade, even though her grooming is a lot easier for me. Anyways, mom bought the undercoat comb (target, $6.99), after brushing me for a week and combed me out in the backyard. I had so much fur come off of me, that it could have been another small dog. I felt so much better afterwards too! Then she bought waterless foam shampoo by wahl ($5.99) for me and cleaned me up last night. The smell was coconut lime verbana. She rubbed it thoroughly into my coat
