You all were spot on. Estella was reacting to the children. I arranged a playdate, as suggested. When the Mom came by with her BFF they were thick as thieves again. It was so nice to see them running through the park together.

Hi all! Estella is 2 years and three months old. During the 2014-15 school year, Estella received her 12 noon walk from our neighbor's au pair. Estella had always been best friends with this neighbors border collie.The au pair would take the two dogs to the park to play. The au pair returned...

Your reply made me laugh out loud. :biggrin2: Stella is very opposed to articles of clothing. At the groomer, they will giver her a jaunty bandana to wear. Once they put the bandana on, Stella will refuse to move until the bandana is removed. I think you are spot on about the vibrating...

Stella has suddenly turned stubborn. She seem s to have selective listening. When it is time for a walk, she always has to sit before I put her leash on. She used to sit immediately. Now I have to repeat myself and even push her but down to get her to sit. Interestingly, if I have a food item in...

Stella has always been a good, easy to train dog. At two years old, she is suddenly forgetting her training. She is refusing to sit before we go out and has stopped coming when I call. It is almost like she is ignoring me when she doesn't feel like doing something. The recall issue is my...

I have been ready to add another sheltie to our family for a while. A local breeder is offering a blue merle boy who is too big to show. He is a blue merle with 1 blue and one brown eye. I think he is is quite beautiful. Is heterochromia a flaw? Are there accompanying health concerns?

I am worried about adding another Sheltie because of the barking. Estella is a good girl and does not bark in the house. If she gets a a barkysheltie companion, we may all go crazy!

I am craving my second dog, now that the our beloved cat has crossed the rainbow bridge. I will not bring anyone home until summer when I am on break from teaching. I meet up with a charming Rough Collie when I walk Estella in the morning. I am enchanted by this Collie and I have been...

Stella is one year and two months today. We met a Rough Collie on our walk.It is un to compare the two. People say that Estella is a "minnie Lassie". Yes, and then no... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204352650320312&set=a.1331732057316.49265.1351450073&type=1&theater

Eva Estella was born May 22,2013 and is 13.5" inches tall and 13 pounds. I little bit of a minnie, but just lovely. Kathy

Thanks, Eva! I have been admiring your Hanna for some time now. She is a beautiful smerle grl. Our girls are around the same age. How big is Hanna now? Kathy

She is growing her mane and we think she is quite pretty! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10203217032090566&set=a.1280892266353.43312.1351450073&type=1&theater

I confess, I am deeply in love with my 8 month old puppy, Estella. I have been very pleased, so far, that she shows no signs timidity and has not been all that barky. She reserves her barking for the squirrels in our yard. She seems to consider it her job to chase them away. I am starting to...
