I have found that certain Vets and clinics price per zip code-I am not talking tax, because some cities have higher tax than others at least in my former state. I found articles from former Vets that they actually increased prices based on your zip code. I am NOT making this up, go research it...

I get that Vet's need to make a living but some of the prices charged and the ranges are UNBELIEVABLE. Shop around is right, but make SURE you understand the billing. So many times what is quoted doesn't include ALL charges, that is what I noticed and I think that is unfair and underhanded. I am...

I prefer harnesses after my Vet described how trachea collapse can occur. I have smaller shelties and I don't want to take the chance of hurting their trachea in anyway. They wear harnesses for walking but also have collar for identification. Lots will probably post about the martindale collar...

I think you will change your mind once they do. It might take a bit to get use to her, but I bet she will be great fun for you Sandstorm, it is good to have back up.

its good to have more friends in your home, I bet you will like having Minnie around!

Hi Sandstorm- Savannah here. We don't like bathes at all. Our mom makes us do that regularly because she says we smell funky. We had rain, we haven't had rain in mths here, and she let us play in it. Kaleigh and I had a blast and got really wet. Our mom said because we got so wet we didn't have...

Most are required to wear the cone to keep them from messing with the stitches. I opted to have my girls wear a surgi-suit. I don't like cones at all. Keeping them quiet was the hardest part because mine after the first day didn't seem bothered at all. They had a post op appt to make sure the...

Howdy....do you have grandkids or neighborhood kids, I bet they would enjoy romping around with the puppy. Or even a dog that can have play sessions. I took Kaleigh with me everywhere to socialize her. She was a one dog litter, she was a bit on the reserved side. I had neighbors with Collies...

Thought I would chime in...I have spayed all 4 of my girls, all within their first yr of life. Never had any issues with fur growth, but I live in colder climates. One thing I have always had was fur abundance. Last year was a BAD winter here. My girls coated up like CRAZY they really packed on...

It means she hasn't come into the full Sheltie devious ways and is snowing ya until she has an opportunity to "shine". :) Shelties are VERY smart, they make you think they are just so sweet, innocent, creatures of perfection, then when you are completely mesmerized and under the spell, they...

Absolutely LOVE your pack...I love all the Willy Wonka characters, especially Veruca.

Yes!!! My previous girl was on it for stiffness in her joints. It worked wonders. I think I put her on it when she was 14ish...and she was on it until she passed yrs later. It gave her flexibility so she could run and play. If I would forget she would move slowly or kinda limp. Her collie...

Ah Beau-must have the same DNA heritage that Savannah has-part fox. I know there has to be a fox in the lineage because she has sneaky, cunning, stealth maneuvers that resemble the fox family traits more than sheltie behavior. If there is food involved she goes into supersheltie mode, able to...

sometimes the best research and intentions backfires, doesn't it :banghead::grumpy::rage:

I love that you spoil Piper with homemade treats...:)
