2008-01-21 08:11:00 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.

Smile!
2008-01-15 19:05:00 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 ...

Animal Rights vs. Animal Welfare
2008-01-14 03:30:00 If you’re reading this blog, there’s a pretty darned good chance that you’re interested in animals as pets, particularly dogs, especially Shelties. Right? And everybody who believes that animals, whether pets or not, should be treated humanely want to be sure that they “support the right causes” ? including writing letters to their city officials, ...

2008-01-11 05:30:00 My adorable, sweet, loving Corgi mix or Fluffy, Jackson , is flying from Salt Lake City to San Francisco tomorrow to go to his new home in Palo Alto, CA.

Guess Who Came to Dinner?
2008-01-05 17:13:00 Foster parents Cindie and Jerry were getting out of town for a New Year’s celebration.

An Interesting Sheltie-oriented Web Site

It also provides listings of Shelties for sale, including of-age puppies, adoption pages, products for sale, etc. We’ve found this to ... More About: Interesting , Site , Web site , Eres
Today?s chuckle

Hiking With Shelties
2008-01-01 00:45:00 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 ...

Simone Continues to Improve
2008-01-01 00:20:00 I stay up later than Barbara does most nights, because I just don’t like going to sleep at 10:00 or 10:30. Instead, I like to watch another movie or read or something. For the last several weeks, when I’ve not been traveling, I’ve been making a point of keeping Simone downstairs with me when Barbara ... More About: Improve

2007-12-31 23:14:00 Evie helping Aunt Barbara get in some much needed aerobic workouts! When Evie first arrived here she would never have played tug with anyone. When Evie came to us she was so frightened and shy she wouldn’t go outside without me and certainly wouldn’t stay outside if I didn’t stay too. Her previous family said she ...

Upgrade Blog Software

There aren’t any functionality changes that are known to me that would affect SheltieTales, so that wasn’t why I upgraded. The new version is primarily a security release.

Happy New Year to Sheltie Rescue
2007-12-30 19:50:00 Last night, the Utah Shetland Sheepdog Association (USSA), held its annual holiday party. For a variety of reasons, this year’s party was held after Christmas instead of before it.

My Yummy Quarter Cup of Coffee this Morning
2007-12-28 02:58:00 My day starts with the whines of either Evie or Jackson. They sleep in our bedroom every night but they’re crated, otherwise they’d be dancing all over us and the bed all night long. I need my sleep.

Busy Christmas Day
2007-12-27 18:38:00 Barbara and I had a very enjoyable, but busy, Christmas day. While everybody else was chowing down on turkey and fixin’s (or perhaps turkey-flavored kibble), we were doing the Sheltie Rescue thing. First, we went over to Cottonwood Animal Hospital to retrieve a recently-rescued Collie who’d been staying there for a few days being neutered and ... More About: Busy , Christmas Day
