My dog (a five year old Sheltie) is petrified of a 10 week old puppy...

[ScreamingMeemie]

It's hysterical. She hides under the steps that she sitting on in this picture until he goes away.



So much for getting a dog to protect the children. She's very good at herding them around the trampoline and swing set though. And the best part, she is a wonderful friend. Always there, always cares and would never break my heart.

So what if she's a little goofy.

[lizziegrace]

1. Jessie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a beautiful girl. I'd take a best friend over a protector any day.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. She will share herself with you any day of the week.

:hi: :hug: This is a new one too. I took it today, because I thought of you.

[lizziegrace]

4. Thank you

I love Shelties. Especially Jessie.

:loveya:

[NMDemDist2]

3. shelties are funny little dogs aren't they?

my girl is a big coward too. the 2 pound kitten who 'adopted' us terrorized her for months and months

at this point it's progressed to a detente stage LOL

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. Ohhh... she is soo sweet! Thanks for posting that.

I've tried to talk MrG into maybe getting a tri as well as the sable. They're like potato chips. Once you have one you want more. :) he grew up with them.

Here is my dad's kitten "hanging out" with Jessie. She wasn't very happy about it:

[NMDemDist2]

6. how could I turn down this little furball?

they are martyrs though aren't they :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

7. Ooooh...look at that!

Here's puppy Jessie:




She is second from the left.

[NMDemDist2]

8. ooooo those are 'baby' baby pics, but here's one more for you

this was after we brought her home

[LostinVA]

9. OMG -- SHE IS SO CUTE!!!

I must have one!

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Should I bring Jessie to the Wedding? She loves being pampered

and made to look fancy. :D

[LostinVA]

16. OMG -- I wish you could!

[NMDemDist2]

12. they are pretty timid around strangers, shed like 3 dogs and will

be the most loving and loyal little dog you could ever ask for

:hi:

[LostinVA]

17. I have a feeling Haruka wouldn't be so keen on a Sheltie

:cry:

[NMDemDist2]

18. as long as they get groomed regularly they are very good little dogs

maybe she'll reconsider?

[LostinVA]

21. I'm sending her the photo of your puppy

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. ...and bark like the bejeezus for no reason sometimes.

She barks at those she knows and loves like a hysterical little fluffball and then hides from the meterman. :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

25. yup ROFL. i work nights and every night when I come home she acts

like i'm the biggest boogie man EVAH! but if the FedEx guy comes to the door, she skedaddles into the bedroom and hides behind the bed :rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. You're killing me, she's so cute... here's a home puppy picture.

[NMDemDist2]

13. OMG!!! what a sweet face that is

they are the sweetest little dogs aren't they?? :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. They are. I'm so glad you posted pictures. and I'm so happy

to find another Sheltie loving friend on here. :loveya: They melt me. Besides the shedding, which like you said, grooming takes care of, there is no negative to them. Active enough to keep up with the kids, with the heart of a lap dog. :D

[MissMillie]

14. Jessie is the berries

and goofy is part of that charm!

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. Thanks MissM!

:hi: She is a goofball.


How did your sister celebrate yesterday? I hope she is finished now. That was a long haul for her.

[MissMillie]

28. the surgery left her tired and sore, so she went to bed

Today she is experimenting with how much weight she can put on it, and how much motion she has. She is still taking the Vicodin, which is making her goofy, but her spirits are so high it'd hard to tell if it's her or the drugs. :bounce:

[SOteric]

15. What a sweet face

your wonderful friend has. :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. I was just thinking of you this morning...

and here you are! :hi: Thanks!

[mzteris]

22. STOP! For the love of all that is holy, just please

STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No. No. No. No. No. No. NOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo - I will NOT get another dog/cat/bird/hamster/gerbil/fish!!! No, not one!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. What?

The look like little angels when they are sleeping...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v58/laura.harper/sleepingcorgi.bmp

[mzteris]

29. it's torture, I tell you, TORTURE.

Dogs are like kids, cute when they're sleeping! Then they wake up and wreak havoc!

and that corgi was adorable, too.

See what I have to put up with already?




Only she's 2 now (I need a new pic!)


And these guys:




And Mr. Lord of the Jungle





I don't pics of the fish or the birds. (And all the rodents have thankfully demised.)

[LostinVA]

33. Haruka also said I couldn't get a Corgi

And, I've wanted a Cardigan Corgi since I've been a little girl.

:cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. PassingFair has a Pembroke Welsh...

I like to tease her but he's adorable.

[NMDemDist2]

27. ahhh come on, you know you want one!

[mzteris]

30. must - not - look - at -

kitty - puppy - pics! aaaaaaaaaagggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. Come...look...see....

[LostinVA]

43. *SWOON*

[barb162]

31. Oh what a cutie. Is the puppy chasing the sheltie? Biting her?

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Nope. They're separated by a fence.

she's also frightened of squirrels. She's a little silly.

[barb162]

58. Oh, okay.

SHe might be scared of really quick movements or is a very docile dog. Once my cat was chasing a squirrel, always staying about 3 feet behind it, never intending to catch it. Because I know how fast that cat can go if he wants. But when the squirrel went horizontally running along this fence, it freaked out my cat. My cat stopped dead in his tracks and just watched this squirrel do these acrobatics.

[zonkers]

32. Shelties I have known have been the sweetest and most sensitive dogs.

An old gf had one. We broke up and I swear, I missed the sheltiie more than her.

[ScreamingMeemie]

38. I could see that happening.

:hi: MrG and will always stay together because we would fight over the dog. :D

[DS1]

36. Cute dog

I could handle that type of dog. Big so not yappy, cute face. Warm in winter. Puts up with the cats well enough

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. Thanks! She's a good girl.

The cat used to take her down when she was a rambunctious puppy. :hi:

[billyskank]

37. She's gorgeous

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. billy!

:loveya:

I haven't done that in forever.

[billyskank]

41. Too long

Waaaay too long. :cry:

:hug:
:*

[LadyoftheRabbits]

44. Pretty baby!

:loveya: She's so lovely... :loveya: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

45. Makes you miss Adam

:(

She's gorgeous and I have the name of the breeder (MrsG gave it to me)

Maybe someday...

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Yay! It's lelapin!!!

I've missed seeing you. :loveya: Jessie sends tons of puppy love!

[nytemare]

47. I love shelties!

Shelties have been the family dog for several generations. I don't have enough time off work to properly care for a dog now, but I so miss having a sheltie.

The herding instinct is sure in them. About 15 years ago, I had a Lhasa, and my sister left her Sheltie "Pebbles" with me to dog sit. I could not walk them without the leashes getting tangles from Pebbles wanting to herd me and the Lhasa.

I also like their air of aloofness. They kind of have a cute snootiness about them, don't they? Pebbles would play games with my Lhasa, floating her tail in his face and running off, as if to say, "here is what you ain't getting". It was cute.

[ScreamingMeemie]

49. She will sit with my husband and look over at me like,"ha! I've got

him and you don't". They are so wonderful. :hi:

[nytemare]

60. I love the beady little eyes and pointy snout.

And, of course, the eternal smile.

:D

[femmocrat]

48. Beautiful dog!

Shelties have the sweetest faces. I just love them.

We had a tri-color; he was a wonderful, amazing dog.

[ScreamingMeemie]

50. I am trying to talk MrG into a tri as well.

I adore shelties and the herding breeds.

Her mouth curves up at the corners in a perpetual smile and it cracks us up. :hi:

[driver8]

51. We used to have a 65 pound Border Collie who was definitely an

"alpha" male.

There was a man in our neighborhood who walked a little Maltese that maybe weighed 6 pounds soaking wet. Our Border Collie would never look at that dog and would walk off of the sidewalk to avoid it...this from a dog who would bark at every other dog he saw.

It was the funniest thing.

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. I bet that was funny to watch.

Especially when they avoid something and then try to act nonchalant about it. :hi:

[driver8]

59. It was hilarious!

We never could figure out what it was about that little dog that made Cody act submissive towards him. :hi:

PS: Your dog is gorgeous, by the way!

[AlCzervik]

52. Yay Jessie!! Gotta call y daughter, she loves your Jessie pics.

Booboo Jessie, she is so sweet.

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. This is a new one we took today after her bath.

She kept looking away until I said,"Hey! Treat!" And the ears went up and the eyes looked right at me. :D

[SPKrazy]

53. You want another sheltie?

I've got a 15 month old one that is driving me insane.

but his master might not like that, 7 year old boys tend to be kind of fond of their doggies.

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

54. Awwww...he'll grow out of it. It's like adolescence for him.

Yeah, that little boy would never forgive you...and Jessie would probably freak out. :D

[SPKrazy]

57. hahaha

Jessie might like her, ;)

somebody ought to!

oh, somebody does :)

:hi:
