Beam Me Up, Scotty!

We haven’t previously blogged about a recent addition to the SRU pack, Scotty. This very cute sable and white boy is somewhat oversized…about 18″ or thereabouts…but he may be the lightest Sheltie I’ve ever picked up! If he weighs 15 pounds, I’d be surprised. And the funny thing is that he doesn’t seem at all [...]

Here They Come. Again.

Well, I guess we have just gotten too comfortable, loafing along with a mere 15 dogs in the house. But that’s all about to change, and soon…

In the last few days, it seems like every time I overhear Barbara talking on the phone, it’s about yet another incoming rescue Sheltie. Here are the dogs about [...]

Nash the Bashful

When Nash came to us a few months ago from Boise, his name (if we understood the people who turned him over to us) was “Bashful” because he was “shy”. Well, we decided that a more respectful name was in order, so “Nash” he became.

No More Sailing Stories Here!

Every time I write a post about our adventures with our sailboat, I feel guilty. After all, the purpose of SheltieTales is to talk about rescued Shelties and issues surrounding them. You’ve all been very nice about our sailing stories, but I’ve decided to do something about my guilt.

I’ve started a new blog that I [...]

Newly Arrived Shelties, Shelties for Adoption, and Abby's Moon Walk on Video!

Meet our new Sheltie kids here at Sheltie Rescue of Utah…they are Maggie with an elfish face, very cute, overweight, and six years old. We plan to get her blood work done as soon as possible to see if there’s a medical condition like hypothyroidism contributing to her overweight condition. She has a [...]

Another Blog Software Version Update

WordPress is the software that powers this blog and the sofware has gone through a couple of versions since the last time I updated it. Similarly, the blog template on which the blog is based has gone through a number of new versions.

Over the past weekend, I decided to update the software to get a [...]
