Sport gets his very own Dad and Mom! Our loving and playful, youthful senior boy, Sport, has [...]

A Lovely Evening with Shelties at Dusk – video

BluvsJ posted this on June 16th, 2011

Gosh, Jim and I actually went out for dinner last night. Totally by accident because we had a meeting to go to that was canceled just as we were getting ready to leave the house. Jim suggested we go out anyway…we’d already taken the 15 minutes or so that it takes to settle everyone into [...]

Look at these Collies Play in the Snow!

BluvsJ posted this on February 26th, 2011

I stopped by foster Mom Julene’s house today to microchip our two Collie-kids and I was amazed at the difference in them now that they are acclimating to being in her home and having her yard to run in and her miniature horse to marvel at. They are definitely younger than originally thought. They were [...]

Two Collies from Ephraim – One’s a Color-Headed White Female!

BluvsJ posted this on February 25th, 2011

Two Rough Collies, one male and one female were found as strays in two different locations in Ephraim. When brought together at the dog shelter it was apparent that they knew each other. We can’t help but wonder if they know Nell who was found as a stray, at around the same time, in Salt [...]

Adoption Day for Nash and Missy!

SheltieJim posted this on February 3rd, 2010

Oh, happy day! We recently got a phone call from a senior-ish couple down in St. George, UT, who had adopted another Sheltie, Lizzie, from us several years ago. We knew that these people were special, because Lizzie was very fearful, was a bit of a biter, and had known health problems. In spite of [...]

Dakota’s New Adventure

SheltieJim posted this on April 11th, 2009

Well, we’re down to 13 dogs (for today, at least — we may get another one tomorrow). Dakota just left with a fantastic retired couple from near Twin Falls, ID. For the moment, it’s a "foster" situation, but everybody believes that it won’t stay that way for long…it’ll turn into an adoption. (In fact, the [...]

A Pack Update

SheltieJim posted this on March 15th, 2009

Actually, there’s been a fair amount of stuff going on with our pack over the last week or so. Let me try to catch up a bit.

Right now, we have 13 dogs in house, including our own two (Star and Abby). I’ll go through the 11 rescues one at a time:

* Chuy is deteriorating. He [...]

Busy Weekend!

SheltieJim posted this on March 8th, 2009

Wow. Where to start?

Yesterday morning, the lovely people who rescued Daisy (a/k/a Daisy Mae) three or four years ago (and nursed her through the loss of her leg — which was caused by her being hit by a car, not an infection as I suggested yesterday!) brought her over to our house. Daisy was a [...]

Just a Quickie (Goodbye, Shadow)

SheltieJim posted this on February 20th, 2009

Barbara told me on the phone this morning (I’m on the road until the end of next week) that Shadow will be adopted this weekend, probably Sunday. She’s been talking to a family who lives in California but who happens to be in Colorado at the moment. They have just adopted a (young female) rescued [...]

Senior Adopts Puppy

SheltieJim posted this on February 9th, 2009

Well, today was Tessa’s adoption day. Mid-afternoon, a slightly elderly man (let’s call him John, since that’s his name ) and his son (we’ll call him John too…same reason) came over for the older John to meet and adopt Tessa. Barbara had done a very careful pre-screen of this gentleman and we’d agreed [...]
