We also got a postcard reminder not too long ago. It doesn't have a photo on it, but does have a drawing of a Sheltie. Made me wonder if they print them out according to the kind of dog you have, or if they just happened to be using one with a Sheltie.

Welcome from another Utah Sheltie owner. My daughter-in-law has a Sheltie, as does her sister. My daughter fell in love with them and bought a puppy, and then my hubby wanted to join in the fun so we went and looked at the sister and litter-mate of the one my daughter bought and brought her...

My Callie is now 4 years, and she's still very petite. I haven't measured her but I'm pretty sure she's less than 15 inches tall and has never weighed more than 15 lbs. She's always had the prick ears, a small appetite -- but definitely got more than her fair share of the Sheltie barking gene...

What a sad story. Didn't see this posted anywhere yet but I haven't been on the forum much and may have missed it. http://atlantahumane.org/shelties/

Callie here. I think I wud like day care. My Mommy and Dad work and I'm home all day by myself :(. Sometimes if Mommy and Dad go away for a few days they leave me with my grandpa and my uncle. Grandpa is old and I think he likes having me come, but he doesn't want a dog all the time. I have...

My Callie and my daughter's Shelby are litter mates -- and their coats are definitely different feelings. Callie's is a little fuller than Shelby's, but it's more a different texture than anything else. I have no idea which one is closer to standard as I'm not into breeding or showing, but...

We've always had dogs, but Callie is our first Sheltie. None of the other ones have had much to do with me. She's a female and she's definitely MY dog. It's my lap that she chooses to sit on, and my feet that she's always right by. She tolerates my husband, and will jump up once in a while...

I'm not sure how tall my Callie is, but she's stayed right about 15 lbs since she stopped growing taller. She's definitely smaller than my daughter-in-law's more traditional sized Sheltie, and her litter mate sister is almost exactly her same size. I LOVE having a smaller size Sheltie. If I...

Sorry your Dad is in the hospital Annie. They're not fun places to be, so he'll need lots of Sheltie love and attention when he gets home. I know when my Mom doesn't feel good I like to sit on her lap and give her lots and lots of kisses. From Callie. As a side-note, I used to have a boss...

Praying that Brad will have a quick recovery and be able to return home to your family.

Sorry to hear that your beloved Lucky has crossed the Rainbow Bridge. May you be able to find the peace that comes from knowing you did the right thing for him, and that he's now free from pain. Hugs to you!

Your story makes me remember that I need to find a new vet. We dearly loved our vet, but he's left his practice in our area and is now about 25 miles away. I wasn't super impressed with the other vets at the clinic, but I'd better find someone soon in case of emergency!

Very smart to get a second opinion, and I'm glad that your dogs didn't have to do an unneeded and expensive procedure. Hope they heal quickly!

Wonderful news that you get to have your beloved Scottie with you for a while longer.

How scary for your and your poor fur babies! Glad it doesn't seem to be anything more serious and will be praying that they don't have any further issues.
