If ya ever are driving around the ATL and see a car with a purple bumper sticker and a cartoon Sheltie that says "My Sheltie is Smarter Than Your Honor Student" wave at me! I also have a round Sheltie Nation sticker on the back of the car.
I'd really love to learn more about the Sheltie club in Atlanta. I did a lot of their shows in the mid-'90s with my dog Neechee (even got Novice A HIT a couple of times).
Neechee was my heart dog, and I lost him 2 years ago Easter Monday at the age of 17-1/2. I adopted another Sheltie named Bela last June from Sheltie Rescue of Georgia. She's 5 years old, and a former puppy mill mama. Needs training DESPERATELY, but had such a difficult time adjusting to living indoors with people who love her, that I just haven't done much towards training. As much as I love Bela, and our relationship is still growing, not a single day passes that I don't miss and mourn my tiny little boy.
