(This post was edited on March 25 at 7:45 PM to reflect new information, including the cost of the ornaments. Changes appear in italics.) Yes, yes, I know — all Shelties are angels. Most of the time, anyway. But these Sheltie angels are ornaments (for use on, e.g. a Christmas tree or to hang in your sunlit [...]  (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

5 woofsFriday afternoon, the phone rang. Well, it rings many times a day, including on Friday afternoon. But this one was different. I could barely understand the person on the other end when she started talking, mostly because she was sobbing so much at the same time. Her first words were: My Sheltie has just been diagnosed [...]  (3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...

8 woofsRights, rongs, and rescue. Them’s the three "R"s. Well, they are if you can’t spell But I don’t mean "right" as in the opposite of "wrong"; I mean as "human rights" or "constitutional rights". "Wrongs" is just what you think they are. And I’m going to talk about how they affect rescue. You know from [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

7 woofsMost people who have been in Shelties for a long time (at least in North America) know the name Charlotte Clem McGowan. Charlotte’s current role is ASSA’s legislative liaison, and her focus is on the efforts of the animal rights organizations to eliminate our rights as pet owners, breeders, competitors, etc. Today, she sent out [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

I am also an AKC obedience judge (emeritus…meaning "effectively retired"). So you’d think that I might know a tad [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...

2 woofsActually, there’s been a fair amount of stuff going on with our pack over the last week or so. Let me try to catch up a bit. Right now, we have 13 dogs in house, including our own two (Star and Abby). I’ll go through the 11 rescues one at a time: * Chuy is deteriorating. He [...] Just a quick note on Barbara’s progress with her shoulder. When she came home from the hospital, she needed to do therapy that involved her sitting in this bizarre chair that looked like something out of a medieval dungeon The purpose of it was to slowly raise and lower her arm, as well [...] I Google a lot. I mean a lot , too. A great deal of my day job, as well as my rescue work and my various responsibilities with the ASSA, not to mention sailing, involves doing web research. Quite often, that research is oriented towards finding products at the best prices (or just finding them [...] (author unknown and, sadly, permission not available) Wow. Where to start? Yesterday morning, the lovely people who rescued Daisy (a/k/a Daisy Mae) three or four years ago (and nursed her through the loss of her leg — which was caused by her being hit by a car, not an infection as I suggested yesterday!) brought her over to our house. Daisy was a [...] (No Ratings Yet) Loading ...
