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

Paws in the Park 2018
Save a Dog in Sudbury is once again sponsoring one of our favorite yearly events, Paws in the Park at the historic Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts on Sunday May 6 from 10-3. Come join other walkers for a one mile walk around the beautiful area and then you can enjoy what we do, shop. There are always wonderful vendors and we love getting treats. It is a family friendly event so bring the kids along with us fur babies. Admission is $10 for adults. $5 for children, and free for kids under 5. More information available here.
Many local shelters and rescues also have booths at the event so come and learn more about the local rescue movement in the area. If your interested in adoption or volunteering, this is a great place to start meeting people involved in the local rescue community.
This was Bailey and I several years ago resting at the Grist Mill.
This was Annie last year. For some reason Mom and Dad can never understand we don't like drinking water out of any bowls but our own at home, despite how warm we are or how thirsty we might be we rarely drink away from home.
Dog Dad took Annie through the agility course they had. She did really well, but Mom had trouble getting pictures as it moved pretty quickly.
I know many of you who visit our aren't local, but I encourage all of us to share pet friendly events as it may encourage other areas to try someting new.

When Yarn Attacks
I've warned and warned Mom, but even now she thinks I initiated this attack and the yarn just fell on me because I pulled at the yarn. That's just not true. The yarn attacked me.

Recovering from Our Holiday Celebration
We had a wonderful Easter holiday, but it was exhausting. Nothing like resting up with your Easter toys to recover.

Wordless Wednesday: The Easter Bunny Filled Our Treat Balls
The Easter Bunny came through in a big way. Mom gathered up all our treat balls and left them out for the big Bunny to fill. We spent the better part of Sunday morning chasing them around the house emptying them out.

A Delayed April Fool's Joke
Saturday I was sitting here on the last snow desperately trying to hold on to the last of our precious snow cookies. Mom thought it was cute and had to shoot pictures of my attempts to hold on to the last bit of cooling tasty snow. We had a beautiful warm day on Easter and Mom had visions of tulips, irises, and lilies coming up and blooming. Well little did she know Annie and I had other plans. Monday morning beautiful tasty snow began to fall and we have a yard of snow cookies again. Dog Dad says Spring snow doesn't last long, but he didn't expect we'd get more snow today, so we have hopes for long term Spring snow cookies.

Listening to audio books
Mom downloads audio books to her phone and when nobody is home she often just plays them without headphones and we get to listen to them. When she forgets to turn on our daily book, we remind her it is time for our daily entertainment. We like British readers. Mom thinks this dates back to Dog Dad getting us hooked on British announcers with soccer. However, we just happen to like British readers. It makes the story more interesting. Mom listens to a range of fiction and non-fiction but we prefer when she stays away from the scary stuff. It gives us nightmares, but how can we leave her alone to listen to it by herself?
We prefer her reading audio books to paper or her Kindle because we get to participate too. She can sit for hours staring at pages of squiggles and we get nothing from that. At least with an audio book we can hear and share the story.
