When Grady is ready for bed, but I’m not. He’s going to hate when school starts next week! #corgicrew

I forgot to share photos of Grady’s paintings! The first one (colorful) was done by an artist on TikTok, who chose his photo from the comments.The second one was done from an Instagram artist that one of my students got me a gift card for for Christmas. They are hanging side-by-side in my hallway.

Yesterday‘s walk was at 8:30am, already too hot! Today we went at 7:30. More mosquitoes, but less heat! Louisiana summers! I wish I had time to do this on school mornings. It’s good for both our mental health. Hope everyone has a wonderful day! #CorgiCrew

First official summer walk! It has rained for 2 weeks & I am getting over bronchitis. Feels good to finally get out…and no coughing the whole walk! 🙌🏻 #CorgiCrew

My dad passed away yesterday. I don’t think it’s fully hit me yet. Nothing prepares you for losing a parent and being in a world that you’ve never known without them. I know he’s already found the best fishing spot in heaven!

Watch his legs! He’s walking in the stroller. Those legs moved the whole time. #CorgiCrew

Weekend walk. I need a sign that says “I’m paralyzed, not bougie.” I always get comments. 😂 #CorgiCrew

Update: they see no signs of an active ear infection. They’re wondering if some water got in it from his latest bath and it’s just irritating him. They’re giving us an ear wash, but no antibiotics.

7:20 AM. Taking Grady into MedVet. He woke up shaking his head uncontrollably. He’s whining and miserable. I’m hoping it’s just an ear infection. I’m so grateful to work for a wonderful school and admin who scrambled to find a sub for me this morning so I wouldn’t have to go in.

Grady is 9 today! Happy Birthday to my sweet boy. He has handled every challenge life has thrown at him (and there have been many!) like a champ! He is always happy and smiling! 💙🐾💙 #CorgiCrew

Grady’s test results all came back. Thyroid levels are normal and the growth is benign! 🙌🏻 His skin is starting to look better and no new spots have developed! 🤞🏻🙏🏻 #CorgiCrew

Quick trip to Lowes. Walked through the plants. We are so ready for spring! #CorgiCrew

$800 dermatologist visit today! 😩 Staph infection still not gone. He recommended as many baths as we can do (daily if possible) with the chlorhexidine shampoo (we got some stronger). He thinks it may be an underlying thyroid issue that is causing him to be susceptible to the infection.

Mardi Gras break is here! So thankful to have all next week off. I’ve been sick with no voice for almost 2 weeks. Ready for some much needed rest! 💜💚💛

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

He’s over this daily shots and fluids business! Today was day 5 out of 7-10. I can’t really see any difference yet. Tomorrow is bath day. Hopefully, we’ll start to see improvement soon! #CorgiCrew

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Grady started his 7-10 days of daily antibiotics for this staph infection. Bloodwork looked good. We have to check that every few days to make sure it’s not affecting his kidneys. I pray this helps, poor baby! #CorgiCrew

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

29° right now. Wind Chill 24° Grady does not have a care in the world. He’s just happy we’re home. I’m glad his vet appointment isn’t until 4:30. Should be above freezing by then!

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

No school tomorrow! We didn’t get any ice or snow, but it rained all day today & we’re expecting freezing temps for 10-12 hours tonight, so they are worried about road conditions. Temps down to 23° tonight. Wind chill 11°. Throwback to Grady in last year’s snow!

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 22/01/2026

Grady says thank you so much for all the love and generous donations! We appreciate all of you so much! We start shots next week - hoping the weather doesn’t get icy here! #CorgiCrew

Still fighting the staph infection. Results from culture last week show that it’s a form of staph resistant to all but one antibiotic. That one is daily injections for 10 days. It can affect his kidney so we have to have blood work and analysis before during and after the injections. #CorgiCrew

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 21/12/2025

Merry Christmas from Grady! He’s doing well, considering. Staph infection is still lingering, so we got a new antibiotic & medicated shampoo. We got a Help Em Up harness, which is a huge help getting him around. We also started him on doggie Prozac because the separation anxiety is getting worse.

Grady the Corgi @gradythecorgi.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Grady update: doing well, except for a staph infection under his legs. Vet visit today and got a shot for itching and antibiotics. Hoping it clears up so I can take him to visit my dad in the nursing home over Thanksgiving. #CorgiCrew

Our friend Tricia at Perfectly Imperfect Pawtraits painted a portrait of Grady and is selling notecards. She is sending us a portion of the proceeds for Grady’s medical bills. How sweet is that!? It’s a pretty cute design too! Go to our insta story for the link. #CorgiCrew

Weekly therapy - tried out his wheels today, just to see how he’d react. The PT wants the back end lower so his feet can touch the ground while he can still somewhat use them. We’re not ready for them full-time yet, just getting him used to them #CorgiCrew

Grady decided to walk on the treadmill this week. It apparently wore him out. He’s snoring! 💤

Checking out my late birthday gift from a coworker. He wants to chew it.

Life has been so busy. I wanted to update the #CorgiCrew on Grady. He continues weekly therapy. Although today he refused to do the water treadmill. He seems to be dragging his back end more and more - worse on some days than others. He’s still as happy as can be though.

Back to doing most of the housework on the weekends because I’m too tired after school most days to worry about it. Today I have: swept, mopped, & vacuumed, done 2 loads of laundry, cleaned the kitchen, baked some brownies, and dremeled Grady’s nails. Nap time for him!

Grady had another drop off day for therapy today. I’m getting ready for Parent Night tomorrow night and am ready for the weekend. I forgot how mentally exhausting back to school is.

Sometimes his back legs just don’t keep going. #CorgiCrew

Great first day of school…except afternoon carline was chaotic! It took twice as long as it usually does. Hope it’s better tomorrow. Grady had his first drop off day for therapy. They let us drop him at 7am & can pick him up after school & there is no extra charge for that! 🤯

Busy week for us! They finished our construction. I headed back to school for teacher orientation. For the first time in 29 years, I have a para in my room working with 2 kids all day. Bless her! ❤️ Grady had therapy twice, but is going to once a week during school. He loves it! 💙🐾💙 #CorgiCrew

I was behind this dog today in the line at Starbucks, and it made my whole day! He was so cute waiting for his pup cup!

Day 4 of construction. Should be putting up Sheetrock today. I don’t know how people live with big projects. I’m ready to get my kitchen back in order! Grady has his oncology check up today. I’ll post an update later.

Quick trip to Lowe’s for paint after hydrotherapy today. Construction workers have a window out at home and it’s 88° at our house. We’re now at school painting shelves.

Busy week! Construction started today in our dining area to repair termite damage! Grady is being so good. Chilling in his thunder shirt. Not barking at all!

Just got bitten by one of two dogs running around loose on our street. I was getting out of my car and they charged up my driveway behind me. Already reported it and heading to Urgent Care. Just what I need! 😫
