Seems I've been a little remiss in the blog department the last few days as I've been tied up with a certain little girl. She weighs in at about 16 lbs,, & has lots of fur! My husband, Floyd, & I have Shelties dogs. We started out with two, then one, then two, which became three, and now, has become four. We had Lassie first for 2 years & got Skipper as a mate for her, but we lost her earlier this year. Instead of replacing her from a Breeder, we decided to rescue a Sheltie for our forlorn Skipper who was lost without Lassie. So, about 7 weeks ago, a breeding kennel owner near us passed away & the neighbor posted on Facebook that they needed homes for the dogs. We wound up with 2 of the girls, Rockie & Pebbles. Now comes last Friday. Well, a long time ago, I mean YEARS AGO, we applied for adoption through Sheltie Rescue & they called us with a little girl from the same kennel as our other girls! But now she's at a different kennel & we have to call them to go get her. O.K., so we call them, & we go to get her & they get her so agitated & scared that she gets away & no one can catch her. We finally get her trapped, but we let her be for the weekend & we get hold of our Vet & consult with him as to advice as to how to handle getting her in the carrier to transport her home. Best thing he says is for us to deal with her, not them, as they are the ones she doesn't trust anymore & she doesn't know us. So, we go up there & we gain enough of her trust that she allowed us to get her in the carrier to come home. Here she is:
