Bailey and Katy came to us as rescues. We lost Bailey in June of 2016 and Katy in November of 2022. We were blessed to have Annie join us in August of 2016. They have brought great love and joy to our immediate family and to extended family and friends. This blog will share their stories and issues related to Shelties. Some told from their perspective and others told from those that share this journey with them. Notice: This blog does have Amazon product links and Google Adsense

Tail Hug
Mom really doesn't buy private moments. Katy and I, Annie, were hanging out when I admit I got startled and my tail flew out and landed on top of Katy. No, its never happened before and I hope it doesn't happen again because Mom couldn't wait to get out the phone to snap a picture. Hey it's a tail it does odd stuff from time to time. It should remain private.
We finally dragged Mom back to the computer to reconnect with people. We hope to see her get more consistent.

Friday Flowers:Crocus
With all the cold, ice, and even snow we've had recently, Mom was surprised to find these out during one of her daily yard clean up sessions. It is one of the wonderful things about perenniel gardens you just don't know when something will pop up and surprise you. The crocus have come up in snow before, reappeared in the fall, but she's never seen them in the middle of winter when it's this cold. It was a unique occurrence for our yard at least she thought she'd share.

Sheltie Homeschool Update
We are amazed at how much we are learning each day. We have finally completed the last book of Tales from the Odyssey and aren't we all glad the monsters are behind us. Mom has started reading Greek Mythology so there are still monsters.
I've taken a great interest in Mom's role in helping out with homeschooling as you can tell by this picture. I help her keep organized and I comfort her when things get scary by crawling under her computer table so she can easily reach down to pet me. I know, but we all have to make sacrifices for the kids right? I mean how is Mom to deal with listening to the middle one read a scary story about Ninjas? I was under that table for a good 10 minutes getting a rub down I tell you. Katy hinted I might be scared but I tell you I was there for Mom.
Katy and I do enjoy listening to all the stories, especially when the middle boy reads. He seems quite pleased when Mom tells him we are ready to hear him read. Although he does seem disturbed if we interrupt for a bit of barking. Hey sometimes it gets scary. What's a girl to do?

Super Bowl Cookies
Mom was supposed to post this last week but better late than never. We had a wonderful time watching the Patriots win. Dog Dad even got us special pregame football cookies to participate in the fun.
Part of our job is to help destress everyone during the game and we worked harder during this game than most. We got tons of extra pats as this was a tough game. That being said who complains about extra attention really?

Thankful Thursday: Homeschool Participation
We've always been a fan of hearing stories. We've eagerly listened to Mom's audio books for years. However, since September we've been listening to Mom read aloud and listen to kids reading to her through Skype as Mom is helping a family member with homeschooling. We are finding the experience really interesting.
Our first job every morning is to make sure Mom isn't late for school. We accomplish this by poking and barking to make sure she gets downstairs and gets us outside so we can settle down to listen. We then settle into our favorite comfy places to listen.
We won't lie there have been some scary moments. The youngest one is having Mary Pope Osborne's two volume Odyssey read to him and we echoed him when he complained it's going to take forever for this guy to make it home after all there are two books. Smart kid it just means there are lots more scary monsters coming. Katy and I will be snuggling close during those readings.
We love the poetry recitations. The older one has been reading Magic Tree House series to us so we've visited Dinosaurs, Knights and now Mummies. Next week we are off to learn about Ninjas. We are reaching the point we can actually solve some of the Encyclopedia Brown stories before Mom reads the answers. Sadly she doesn't seem to understand that our barks are our attempts to tell her the solutions. We know who did it Mom.
We are thankful for our education and this time, even by distance with the little sheep. We do so enjoy reading time.
