Owning a Sheltie means learning to talk in code because words like cookie, popcorn and cereal send her into a "tail" spin :wink2: Code only buys a few minutes though as she knows the cabinets that house her favorite treats. My daughter even began spelling yogurt because her Addie loved...

Overall, Evie has been a pretty good pup so far (knock on wood). She does like to shred paper and wicker baskets. Her latest paper shred was my husband's summons for jury duty. We spent a good part of the evening trying to tape it back together to get his juror number and the contact info. Had...

Technically Evie is still a pup, only 9 months old but this is the photo that MADE me call the breeder:yes: http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh499/deb_birch/32a00222def676f7cf6119be3957d9d6_zps1ae6cbd3.jpg

So jealous:wink2: Didn't think I would miss the furry little cuddles!

Let me preface this silly question with some explanation. All my life, I have had little lapdogs (mainly Shih Tzu's). The thing I love about The Shih Tzu breed is how they want to touch you, on your lap, beside you, on your feet, you just can't shake 'em:wink2: I love my little Evie but...

Thanks for the reply Barb. Still not sure if chicken was the culprit or not but I have started transitioning her to Acana Pacifica and things seem better. Just FYI, I transitioned over a lot longer than 2 weeks. Just couldn't get the poo to firm at all. Hopefully this new food is the answer...

Just curious, how do those of you with 3, 4, more Shelties walk them everyday? Don't mean to change the subject but just can't imagine trying to walk that many pups.

Thanks Linda. I did as you suggested and C&P had chicken, chicken meal, turkey meal all listed first thing in the ingredients. I'm wondering if it isn't just a bit rich for her. I may give the Acana Pacifica a try and see how she does. I really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you!!!! Thank you both so much for your response. I didn't really think about chicken being the culprit. I appreciate your help!

I have been trying to switch Evie from Eukanuba to Castor & Pollux because that is what my Grandpuppy eats and it just seemed easier when she was visiting. She visits alot!!! The Grandpuppy can't eat anything with wheat in it. I've been mixing the food for well over two months but each...

I wish I had known my Sheltie pup would expect me to be a playmate whenever she was awake :smile2:

Thanks. Yes, patiently watching and waiting.:yes:

I love this pic of Evie and thought I would share. She is now 8 months old and just a sweet heart. http://i1248.photobucket.com/albums/hh499/deb_birch/c9671b20767db9e4e65019b8f4777296_zps3bba108a.jpg

When you all say fill a Kong with peanut butter, do you fill the entire cavity with it or just cap it?

With cold weather coming on, just curious if and how often everyone walks their furry friends?
