What is a blog for? For some people, I guess, it’s an artifact of their egos: I’m so important that everybody will want to know what I’m thinking. For others, it’s a genuine effort to belong to and participate in a community, or maybe a sincere desire to offer expertise, support, or just joie de […]

Nobody’s commented on the “bullets” in the sidebars of this blog! I worked a long time on those. Of course, they’re only 16 pixels wide by 16 pixels high, so the resolution isn’t very good. But each and every one of them is a tiny little sable-and-white Sheltie head with nose pointing at the item […]

Sorry about that big, hot pink, ugly headline up at the top of the home page for this blog. It’s there because Barbara’s trying to win a digital camera from a rescue organization who’s looking for ideas about “how to let people know that video is coming to [that organization]”. It’ll be gone in a […]

Earlier in this blog, I posted “Adoption Day — Stevie Nicks“. Since then, it occurred to me that we do enough adoptions that we’re going to have a ton of posts on the general subject of “adoption day”. Being an engineer, I hate to waste energy. Naturally, my first thought upon realizing that was “Aha! […]

Wow! Time slips by, doesn’t it? I’ve been meaning to write about several things recently, but the day job (gotta bring home the kibble, ya know) has been intense, and I’ve spent evenings debugging various little things on the blog and trying to get some advertising going.
When I do something to this blog (other than […]

Today, I’ve added a link titled […]

Ok, we made the decision to have TWO dogs. Of course it needed to be a Sheltie for the newcomer. Hunee is absolutely the most loved AND pampered Sheltie on the face of the earth for the past 10 years, we felt . Needless to say it was a tough decision to have another, although […]

SheltieTales is a blog about…well, Shelties, of course. On occasion, we will no doubt blog on other topics, based on what’s going on around us and occupying our thoughts.
The Sheltie community and the rescue community are made of really, really nice people. Sure, there are going to be people with whom you have bad chemistry, […]

Rescuing Shelties – or any breed or species – is frighteningly expensive. We know of rescuers who have actually lost their homes because they spent everything on rescue and couldn’t cover their mortgages! Frighteningly expensive!!
Sheltie Rescue of Utah is a medium-sized rescue organization and our veterinary bills run $25,000 to $30,000 per year (and growing). […]
