    It's Like We've Had Them For Years....

    ALWAYS! Someone is always out with them when we camp. Plus, there's always someone walking by that wants to ooh and ahhh over them.

    It's Like We've Had Them For Years....

    Well, Tangie, Cherry and Chatter have decided to call this house home. Boy, have they settled in! Tangie and Cherry greet us at the door when we come home from anywhere. Chatter has decided we can come to her in the kitchen. Everyone knows the routine now and, boy does it feel good. This...

    Campers and Shelties

    I guess my question would be, "How big of a trailer are you looking at?" Different sizes demand specific tow vehicles. Big SUV's can handle a good portion of the pull behind trailers. Unless you are set on a pickup. But if you go to a fifth-wheel, yeah, a pickup is a must have. And even then...

    Campers and Shelties

    We have done both... Actually, we've had a pop-up, travel trailer, and now a motor home. My wife insisted, nay, DEMANDED we get an SUV instead of a pickup truck... Even with the cap. We've hauled girls to Myrtle Beach and back in a Jeep Grand Cherokee pulling our pop-up then our hybrid. Then got...

    3AM do you know where your Sheltie is?

    Let's see.... Tangie is curled up at the wife's feet, Cherry is usually pressed against my back and Chatter is in her bed beside the wife's side of the bed. However, this morning about 3a.m., Chatter was watching me stretch out a charlie horse in my left leg. Probably wondering what the heck I...

    We're back to Three - Meet Chatter

    And it keeps getting better.... after several days of coaxing, Chatter finally came up from the family room to the kitchen all by herself. We are so pleased! It's like almost every day we get another break-through. She's finally seeing where being around these humans might not be a bad thing...

    The things they play with

    There's plenty of squeaky tools around that Tangie plays with... So far, Chatter isn't playing with anything. Now, Cherry...... she'll chew papers, and of all things, cords! A week or so ago, or home phones wouldn't work. I went to look and found Cherry had chewed the power cord. Thankfully...

    We're back to Three - Meet Chatter

    Update..... Yesterday after work, the wife and I were in the living room, Tangie and Cherry were up and down off the sofa. Wouldn't you know it, Chatter finally decided to see what it was all about..... She jumped up on the sofa and wanted to have her turn to be petted! What a break through...

    We're back to Three - Meet Chatter

    As I sit here in the computer room, with a basketball game on the tv, Chatter has found a place to lay partiality under the desk and furthest away from the door. I guess "daddy" will protect her from all the bad and evil things which may enter the room. When we get home from work, we always...

    We're back to Three - Meet Chatter

    It's been pretty windy here this evening and Chatter is a little neurotic because of it. She's coming around more and more when we call her. If the wife or I approach her, she let's us pick her up and she appears to feel right at home. I've even quit petting her and all she did was get a...

    We're back to Three - Meet Chatter

    What a beautiful day for a 5 hour drive. And to adopt such a sweet girl! '][/URL] Now we're complete and back to three! '][/URL] She's a little shy.... Tangie and Cherry want to play already, but she's a little unsure. She's be okay in a few days.

    You Can't Have Just One - Meet Cherry

    Quick update..... We've had snow flurries on and off all day today. We live on a mountain (to us - doesn't compare to the Rockies) and we usually get some snow if it's in the area. Just a couple inches at best. Forecast is for the snow to stop tonight, maybe 30 degrees tomorrow and then in...

    They must be making them big these days.

    At the rescue we're going to on Saturday, there's a male that is HUGE!! He's got to be at least 24"+ at the shoulders. A rather intimidating animal and he knows how to use that factor - even on humans.... and I'm over 6'1" and 225#.

    So, Exciting News

    Rocket is such a cutie! And, yes, you are a brave soul with 5! I thought 4 was a handful, I can't imagine 5 - and one being a puppy! We'll finally round out our group on Saturday when we adopt Chatter. Tangie and Cherry are getting along great and I think Chatter will be a good addition. Also...

    One dog vs. two dogs

    Only two? :ROFLMAO: How about three? Our girls have always helped entertain themselves. Now, teaching commands.... That's a different story. That takes a bit longer, depending on how intense the classes may be.
