Isn't it hilarious how even sheltie's develop attachments to certain toys. I had a sheltie hand puppet made by a company called Furry Folks, which got bought out and is now folkmanis. They did a line of quality animal puppets. My 1st sheltie adopted it when it was meant for my son, she would sneak it out of his room and it would end up under her as she slept at the foot of our bed. My son relented and let her have it. My second sheltie LOVED it also. When Kaleigh came, she use to put it in her crate. Her "reasoning" was if it was in the crate, then she didn't have to use the crate. In her brain it was "its" crate, she would take it out to play with it, but then put it back, and give me a look like, see mom, it's occupied. Kaleigh doesn't like her crate much. When I got Savannah, Kaleigh WILL NOT share the puppet. So I have to have supervised play with them. For being ancient, it still is held up pretty well.
