We miss you more than there are words to describe. I needed you to be in your crate at meal time to bark at me to remind me that I hadn’t given you your breakfast or dinner yet.  I need you to be on the ottoman next to the bed each night.  I need […]

I found this very appropriate note on Sheltie Nation and thought all dog owners could relate. Unfortunately the author is unknown, but for those that have multiple dogs, I’m sure you could have authored this. Jim and Barbara I especially thought of you.

I wasn’t very happy when groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow on Feb 2nd and declared 6 more weeks of winter. This has been a long, snowy winter. I’m glad that we won’t have another drought this summer, but I’m tired of shoveling and having to scrape my car off every other morning. Watching the […]

This is little Evie letting Sly know to back off of her Valentine’s Day bandanna. Believe it or not Evie is as sweet as they come, a real little Mama’s girl who I adore. But…don’t mess with her! - Barbara

I was bored and stumbled across this video on myspace of a Sheltie pup (who is now a Sheltie angel) playing with the puppy in the mirror. It gave me a good laugh so I thought that I would share it!

A finger in my ear never made me feel like smiling - grunting maybe - but not smiling.  A finger in either one of Evie’s ears will first elicit a little groan and the crack of a smile.  Persist and go deeper and you’ll get a bigger groan with a smile.  Do both ears like […]

Foster parents Cindie and Jerry were getting out of town for a New Year’s celebration. While they were gone they’re two dogs, Keesha, an adorable Keeshond, and Buddy, a sweetheart of a Sheltie-boy they rescued through Sheltie Rescue, and their foster Sheltie, Kalvin, came to stay with us.

If I remember correctly Keesha was found […]

One thing I really love is hiking in the Wasatch Mountains (or just about anywhere there are mountains). When I have a Sheltie who is reliable, healthy, and fit, I like to take him or her with me. I love taking my Shelties up into the mountains in the winter when there’s plenty of snow […]
