Drat! I can’t believe that neither I nor anybody else has written anything in this blog in almost a month. At least I have an excuse. (Don’t I always?) As usual, I’ve been traveling. In fact, I’m writing this entry whilst sitting in a meeting room in Edinburgh (yes, Scotland).
I can’t believe how much I […]

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 […]

When you’ve got 10 or 12 or 20 dogs in the house, smells are unavoidable. And not all of them are as lovely as “wet dog”, either We get dogs who are incompletely (or simply not) house-trained, dogs who are old and have incomplete control of some bodily functions, and dogs who get sick […]

Jean and I became friends at the 2004 ASSA National right here in Utah when we both became embroiled in a controversial […]

Readers will note that I have gotten progressively less responsible as the weeks drag on. Meaning, of course, that I haven’t blogged in something like two weeks. I need to be fed plain kibble for a week, or something similarly punitive.
I really do have good excuses though, although the dog did not eat my homework […]

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 […]

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!

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 […]

Two or three years ago, we became aware of a Sheltie-focused web site, Everything Sheltie, which has loads of great information about Shelties, ranging from breed information, coat color inheritance theory, medical information, and such. It also provides listings of Shelties for sale, including of-age puppies, adoption pages, products for sale, etc.
