Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

Today, before the dust had even settled from finalizing Shelbee’s adoption and getting Cole adopted, a woman to whom Barbara had been talking for several days came over with her dog Tanner.

Tanner was, she said, a purebred 4 year old Sheltie who is deaf and started having seizures last October. Having been led into [...]

New Boy Cole Already Adopted

Sometimes, it just works out. Let’s hope this is one of those times.

A week or so ago, we took in a young (7 month old) tri-color male named Cole. Cole was pretty shy, moreso of men than of women, but not great even with women. He spent a fair amount of his time in [...]

Shelbee’s Adoption Finalized

Well, yesterday afternoon, them woman who was fostering Shelbee for us came over with Shelbee to finalize the adoption. You may recall from an earlier post that she wanted to be certain that Shelbee and her ferrets got along with one another. Well, they get along great and Shelbee is very protective of the ferrets.

Here’s [...]

They Come and They Go

I’ve been so busy annoying you all with my tribulations with this blog, that I haven’t actually blogged recently about the purpose of this whole thing: Sheltie Rescue!

Lemme see…and please forgive me if I’ve told you some of this previously…

Cassie came back to us (I know I did tell you this). But she went to [...]

I had no idea…

Man, this blog has visitors from everywhere !

I recently added the Feedjit live traffic widget (look at the bottom of the left sidebar), without realizing that it came with a "see what’s happening in real time" feature. Talk about a fun feature!

Well, in the last day alone, we’ve had visitors from Indiana, Washington (state), Virginia, [...]

OK, I’m officially being driven crazy by this &$(*#^ blog theme

I’m frustrated! I know you guys would prefer for me to blog about Sheltie Rescue and related subjects, and here I am obsessing about the blog. Yesterday, I was playing around with this and that on the blog, trying out some new ideas, and my system was getting sooooo sllloooowwwwwww htat I decided I’d better [...]

The experiment continues

…and the lab hasn’t exploded. Yet.

Readers will have noticed by now that I’ve managed to make several changes without completely killing the site:

I’ve managed to get a “number of visits” counter working
I discovered how to do “live traffic” feeds (and how to watch traffic coming to the blog in real time!)
I’ve managed to [...]

Crusades

Man, I gotta quit signing up for crusades for this and against that. I’m already too busy. But somebody’s gotta do it, I guess, and I’m not one to expect everybody else to do their part while I get a sunburn.

Tonight, I’ve been invited to give a presentation at the monthly meeting of the Intermountain [...]

Change in This Blog’s Registration Policy

Sigh…I am getting huge quantities of registration spam, in which fake users are registering on the blog so they can post spam. I’ve been kept pretty busy deleting all of that spam, and I discovered recently that there were literally hundreds of fake users registered. I think I’ve deleted all of the fake users, but [...]

Meet Puppy Tessa!

This video focuses just on our new little rescued Sheltie girl, 16 week old Tessa.  She’s probably going to be a very small-sized Sheltie given how much smaller she is than her sister Shadow and even Meggie, her already adopted sister.  Tessa has, kind of unexpectedly, made friends with one of our puppy mill Shelties [...]
