He's doing okay so far. I don't know anything about his background but it would appear that he was not treated too kindly. He cringes if you move too quickly and he runs and hides from my husband when he's around. He will come over to my husband if he gets down low and coaxes him but he stays...

Allow me to introduce the newest member of my pack, "Howie". He looks a little bedraggled as I don't believe he's ever had a good brushing. Spa treatment scheduled in 2 weeks.

Thank you so much for the information. I will be sure to let them work things out on their terms.

Well I did the "introduction" as you all described and it was fairly uneventful. She growled once and he backed off and then it was like he wasn't there. Day 1 is over and I think he's learned to give her her "space". So far so good. He's a very sweet boy and I can't imagine why they gave...

Yes. Katie was 4 months, Cheyenne and Nakota were 6 months, Jet was 4 years, and Anna was 2 years old in the pic. I'll be adding another pic shortly as I adopted yet another sheltie from a rescue group. He is 7 years old and very sweet. Not sure why he was given up but lucky me! :biggrin2:

Fur Kids My Fur kids. If I did this right, the first pic is from 1985 and it's of Katie, the one who started the whole "addiction". Next is from 1991 and it's Cheyenne and Nakota. Next is from 2004 and is my baby Jet whom I just lost earlier this year. Lastly is from 2006 and it's of Anna...

If It Should Be So sorry for your loss. It's been 8 months since I lost my fur baby and I still cry like a baby when I think about him. Here's a poem I read that helped me a little with the decision of euthanasia. It never gets any easier. If It Should Be If it should be I grow frail...

Thanks everyone for the great advice. The sheltie I am looking to adopt is still available (yay!) and the humane society personnel said that he is not an "alpha" male. So far so good. I have felt at times that my current sheltie would have been better off as an "only child" but I can't get...

Thanks for the welcome and I'd sure post some pics but it says I'm not allowed to post attachments. :(

Hello all. I could use some advice please. I've owned Shelties for over 25 years now and have never really had any behavior issues with them. I do now. My story is a bit lengthy but I think the background might be necessary. Please bear with me. Thirteen years ago, I rescued a sheltie...

Hello everyone. I've been a member of this forum for several months now and have enjoyed reading the posts and learning from others experiences. I have owned Shelties for about 25 years now and can't imagine life without one or two or three around. I do have a question/need advice and will be...
