Caro

Thank you ... it's actually her Fur Aunt in the photo, but Mom has long hair too!

By the way, I too love the "Sheltie Butts", it's very classy in a Sheltie kind of way. Hope all of you have a wonderful day ... all the way on the other side of the world.

Thank you for your post in my thread. I have always felt that the more natural you can feed any animal (pet or otherwise) the better. I do use food & kibble as part of the diet but like to add in important, natural, healthful food items myself (even though it takes extra time). I get tons of flack for it from my friends & family that are also pet owners but in the past 15 years none of my 7 pets have ever had any health problems that were caused from diet and nutrition. In fact, they all lived long, happy, basically illness-free lives & I do credit that to a more "raw" and natural diet.

I love the name Deska Your dogs are beautiful! In the past 24 hours I think that Kai'a has been silent (without barking) for about 18, the rest she was sleeping. I was so worried that she would never "talk" because it's been 2 weeks and not 1 yip. I think I jinxed myself.

I am glad that you liked Mally's current picture. I can not take the credit though. My fiance, Don took the picture. He will appreciate the compliment. Our Mally has been getting his picture taken since he was a puppy. So he is not afraid of the camera at all.

On November 27th you said that shelties are #1 at training their owners. You are right about that! They are not stupid/they are so smart.

Love the Sheltie Butt profile picture with tails wagging in unison!

Yes, Caro --- I'm laughing because your puppy photos of Tully show that "headstrong" look... .and she's almost scary looking in one of them !

Back to wombats .... They do sound scary (from Wikipedia): " They generally move slowly, and because of this are known for taking shortcuts, but when threatened they can reach up to 40 km/h (25 mph) and maintain that speed for up to 90 seconds." Have you run into one in the wild ?
