Sheltie willpower
2008-03-21 00:00:00
It doesn't take very long for humans to break New Year's Resolution to lose weight. However, Maggie is still weighing herself daily. Don't you wish you had this kind of willpower? Maggie makes looking at a scale almost bearable Andy!

Like my Shelties, Maggie Mae likes to prop herself up while sleeping. I can't imagine that is comfortable, but I guess it is! Looks like Maggie claimed the pot as her own Julie!

Part II: Sheltie success at Westminster!
2008-03-12 06:00:00
By Ann Compton – Sheltie Nation member & journalist specializing in Canine and Equine Topics (and mom to three Shelties) Every dog lover should see the Westminster Dog Show at least once if at all possible. It’s an experience unlike any other dog show, featuring 2,500 of America’s top dogs in a unique setting. The Westminster Kennel Club show is the second oldest sporting event in the United States, only preceded by the Kentucky Derby, which began two years before the first Westminster Dog Show was held in 1877. The WKC show has taken place every year since it started in New York City at Madison Square Garden, even before it was Madison Square Garden, when it was called Gilmore’s Garden. It has been broadcast on live television since 1948. Westminster has always been held on the second Monday and Tuesday in February and, for the last several years, seats at the Garden have been sold out well in advance. More than 700 members of the media from some 20 countries vie fo...

Little Meg's story
2008-03-08 07:00:00
Meg is a tiny nine-pound Sheltie who was surrendered to Ann Acuff of Middle Tennessee Sheltie Rescue four years ago. While Ann was trying to brush Meg's matted hair, she found that little Meg had 2nd & 3rd degree burns on her back. She also had social problems since she was raised in a puppy mill. (Meg does have a page on the rescue website with her story on it, although be warned that it is not for the squeamish.) http://www.middletnsheltierescue.org/mega n1.html She spent many weeks at the Vet to heal her physical wounds, but the emotional healing is an ongoing process. Meg is now settled in a loving home with the cush life she deserves.   Many, many Sheltie hugs to you Debbie for opening up your home to this little girl!
