How cool. Can she do any special tricks? Like use the remote or pop open a cool one?
Absolutely gorgeous. *swoon* And nice to see some shelties that aren't so overweight they can be mistaken for collies.
That is the neatest thing! Does caring for her require any special steps?
She doesnt really do tricks but she does eat her food with her paws. She scoops up the food like she had a spoon and than eats it off of her hand.
As far as care, they do give her pain. She has developed a 3 point stance which gives one paw a rest at times. It is usually her front paws that give her pain. She doesnt like them being touched. Also, every pet, book and info we could find on them said to get them declawed up front. What happens is that the nails tend to grow funny and cause them pain especially if one of the "fingers" isn't fully developed. Other than that, she loves the dog (we call her a puppy cat) and hates our other cat. She is quite nimble though. She has great balance and is quite needy at times.

wow, your shelties are absolutely GORGEOUS. makes me miss the sheltie i had growing up. ours was sable and white like the smaller of yours, except he was a lot fluffier. your blue merle is breath taking! enjoy them!
No. My brother named him.Danger do anything special to wind up with the name?
Ok here are the family pets
2 Cavalier King Charles spaniels - Alice and Flynn ( we mainly call him cleatus)
2. Cats both female Missy and sally ( we mainly call her Moo and sally Shribble)
Dogs are bother and sister. both 8 years Flynn is the dog on the left alice the right
The cats , the one at the top of the sun lounge is 13 years she is the old mole (Moo) , and will chase the little one at the front of the chair she is 12 years old.(Shribble)
Both the cats chase each other, the dogs are both are afraid to go near either cat mostly because the cats will take a swipe at the dog and chase them around the house. We actually rescued sally from a farm the ladys kids were chucking her around so dad bought her home. She had to be bottle fed every few hours day / night.

adorable!!
awww...what a handsome puppy!!!!! i melt for huskies and malamutes.
here's our new "yard pet"...she/he's a little abandoned baby bunny that i named Fufu. it follows me around the yard....it's the cutest thing ever! we guided it to an empty rabbit nest that had been made inside our fence, so it lives in there now.
She is so sweet! Makes me miss my Hufflepuff (a Netherland Dwarf)!
This is Hufflepuff when she was about one year old. She's now approaching 6 years! She is very sweet but has an independent spirit! She's the only rabbit I've ever had that hates carrot greens and alfalfa! She loves nuts and seeds, though, and the occasional Pringle chip.
Thanks!
she loves to mix around with small kids playing with her and she don mind ppl hugging her! she is really a very gentle lady..
xUKHCx - what a beautiful looking dog. Sad that he's gone
Still coming to terms with it, it was very sudden (2 hours from fine to put down with massive internal bleeding) and I was on holiday and it happened on my birthday. He was absolutely gorgeous.
Once rather embrassingly for a sheep dog he actually got headbutted by a sheep
Thanks for the memories.
Not sure if they can really be called 'pets' but my Congo Tetra which I keep in my fish tank. They seem to recognize me and they come to check me out for as long as I set in front of the tank. I have 19 of them right now and they are between 3-4" long in length in a 120 gallon tank.
Congo tetras are one of my favorites. Great colors and very active in tanks.
