Thanks. She put in an application. Hopefully I’ll have some time soon to get back in the forum.

Sorry, haven't been around for a while, but are these folks looking for permanent homes, or temporary homes? Some friends of mine who live in SW Florida lost their Sheltie last year and are just now getting ready to get another one and they would like to get a rescue if possible, but it would...

That's definitely the most food he's ever had his paws around at one time. :pop

Brought it in from the garage freezer to start thawing in the fridge and he was right on it!

:( It's really great that you can work with her. I had Devon in the second agility class before all this covid stuff started and he was showing real promise (he won the little informal contest they had at the end of the class even against dogs that had been through it several times), but...

The toys in the basket just don't smell like dish towels or dirty laundry.......

That's two less puncture wounds for you when you play with her. :bucktooth:

Yes, that's a whole lot of teeth. I never found any of Baron's and I only found one of Devon's. I certainly don't miss those puppy teeth though. Devon was a wild puppy and his idea of having a good time playing meant that he'd better have drawn blood within the first ten seconds. For a...

If she's only going occasionally in the house and most of the time outside by 13 weeks, that's really good! I've told this story before, but Devon was a little terror for his first 5 months regarding peeing (and pooping) in the house. I had to take him out all the time and even then he'd be...

If his puppy fur is any indication he's going to have one heck of a coat when he gets older!

Fifteen inches is right in the proper size range for a Sheltie. My current Sheltie, Devon, grew all at once and then slowed way down at about 5 months (he stopped eating as much right about the same time), whereas my previous Sheltie, Baron (avatar photo), grew slower but for a longer time (he...

My only other Sheltie, Baron (avatar photo), just barely made it to 9. He died of something called hepatocytotropic lymphoma, a one in a million cancer that kills within a week or two of symptoms appearing. He got sick just before his ninth birthday, and because he had the best care possible...

Yes, even here in southern Ohio in the summer the temperature may not get down to 75 degrees at night during July and August. That said, time outside, what they are doing (i.e. walking or running around), whether in sun or shade, and their age and condition all play into the calculation...

I have a vacation home in Florida and while it's nice there in the winter, it's really hot there in the summer (I occasionally go there in June for a few weeks before the rainy season really gets started), and when I took my previous Shelitie, Baron (avatar photo), for walks there I took some...
