Thanks...I’ve been trying to figure out how to post a photo, that explains it

Kadie - 4 months old

We recently lost our 10 yr old to kidney failure..our lives were empty without her here so we decided to look for another Sheltie..... We were very lucky to find a 4 month Sable puppy that the breeder decided not to show, her name is Kadie ... What a bundle of love she is!!! I'm glad to be...

Sadie and I have been a certified therapy team now for just over two years; we usually work Tuesday's in a nearby hospital's stroke ward. There we have encountered patients of all ages, even children. Every week we have a story to tell of how our visit had made a difference in someone’s day...

We had the same thing happen 3 years in a row except it was mid May. Itching, biting her feet and scratching her ears....in our case the vet thought it was a seasonal allergy. We tried Benadryl and it did absolutely nothing, then switched to Zyrtec and it worked! Maybe check again with your...

Usually 20 minutes once a week. I always mist her first. (Pin brush followed by slicker brush then comb). Sometimes while watching TV she will lay on the floor and I'll run the natural bristle brush over her coat, she usually falls asleep. My older sheltie had a different coat and he...

We've "gone bananas" over bananas! Here is a great treat and so easy to make. When you buy bananas and they are just at the ripe stage and no one’s eaten them. I slice them and then put them on a tray and freeze, once frozen I move them to a plastic container and put them back in the...

I've been roasting them on parchment paper as well. Then when I'm ready to either store them in the refrigerator or freeze them I reuse the parchment paper and use it between layers in my plastic container (cutting it to size) .....to this day it remains to be Sadie's most favored treat...

I wanted to share this video I found on YouTube that shows how to clean the inside of your dogs ears. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBd1bg922k0 ~Karol & Sadie

New Twist on Sweet Potato Chews I've been making these now for a couple of years, I've made a change to it for the summer as it looks like it is going to be a hot one here in upstate NY. Instead of slicing them lengthwise I cut them across into circular discs, then bake them just until...

I'm glad you found someone your dogs are comfortable with. Yes, I agree; whenever you take your dog no matter what breed; you need to give specific directions on what you want done. It isn't any different than if you are going to get your own hair done. I usually tell them "no extra...

Hi Cliff, I'm in Rochester too and haven't been able to find someone since my groomer has retired. So I've been trying to do it myself....let me know if you find someone. I did meet someone at the therapy dog training class and she grooms shelties for some of the breeders in the area; but...

Thanks everyone, it should be an exciting year. ~Karol
