Hi All,
Just had to share a couple glamor girl photos of our Jackie.Everyone who has known her since we got her says how much more confident she’s become and we agree.

As I expected, she’s very intelligent and obedient and a wonderful companion.  She’s on her stool beside me as I email.  My little shadow.  She’s […]

I don’t have a photo of this event, but everyone tells me to post the story of how Apache’s brother Sarge also from Sheltie Rescue of Utah, herded Bella back to us when she ran away. To start, I had a bad experience when Bella was a puppy getting off leash. I had […]

I thought it might be fun to show everybody a video that we took late in 2007 – of Tommy (our blind and deaf white Sheltie) and Jackson (a Corgi we rescued) playing. They played very nicely with each other, and Jackson figured out how to play with Tommy so he didn’t get scared or […]

If I remember correctly Keesha was found […]

When Evie came to us she was so frightened and shy she wouldn’t go outside without me and certainly wouldn’t stay outside if I didn’t stay too. Her previous family said she […]

My day starts with the whines of either Evie or Jackson. They sleep in our bedroom every night but they’re crated, otherwise they’d be dancing all over us and the bed all night long. I need my sleep. I slide out of our waterbed careful not to step on Big Shelby […]

This seems like a good time to address this issue we who deal so closely with dogs in the numbers we do.
As cute as they are, it’s a rather serious matter to be bitten at all let alone badly enough to break skin.  Heaven knows I’ve had my share of bites, most especially given the career […]

We have a little black and white female named Simone that came from a puppy mill along with another Sheltie, named Ritzy.  Both are very shy but Simone has some very funny little habits that only seem to get funnier as she opens up to life here.  Ritzy in the meantime has found a forever […]

In 1969, the woman to whom I was married at the time acquired a Sheltie. I’d never even heard of the breed before then, but I immediately fell in love with them. The woman was a bit, ummm, un-centered and did some really weird things to force the poor little guy to prove that he […]
