Jesse has been getting Sentinel since he was old enough. Today I went back for a refill, but told the vet I was concerned about ticks as well. I am now going to try Revolution in March. Apparently it covers everything Sentinel does, except french heartworm, and ticks. I only bought a ne month...

Jesse takes Sentinel and has never had any ill effects. I need a new prescription, but need to ask the vet about protection from ticks. We have only recently been getting the occasional report of Lyme disease from ticks in Newfoundland and it concerns me.

Tyler died during my daughter's final exams in high school. He was her soul mate and confidant...I don't know how she managed to get through it. He was such a sweet dog and took care of my children from the time they were little...herding them and warning strangers to stay away. We have a...

Jesse has never made a sound when he needs to go potty. He just stands at the door and hopes I'll notice him...no matter where I am in the house. If I don't react as I should, he'll come and stare at me (with that sheltie stare) until I get the message. :smile2:

Welcome from Newfoundland. I too got my Jesse after the kids left home. It's wonderful how you are never alone when the pups are here. I'm so glad to hear that you have rescue dogs...not everyone can commit to all the issues the dear ones might have because of their former lives. Congratulations...

Welcome from Newfoundland. I can't believe how many are joining Sheltie Nation! Post pics soon...we love them!

Out last Sheltie, Tyler, lived for 15 years, but he had arthritis for his last few years. IF it is possible for a pup that young to have arthritis..we found Glucosamine to be very helpful for Tyler. It actually eased his pain a bit and helped with his mobility. I truly hope that your little one...

Muzzle was huge success!! Today was the third time that Jesse was off leash since I started using the muzzle, due to his constant barking off leash. I am thrilled to report that I only had to put the muzzle on once today! :biggrin2: For an entire hour he ran around and kept returning to me with...

Jesse loves them!! I made the sweet potato treats this weekend and they are gone already!! He loves them!! I have another triple batch in the oven right now.

How I wish there was somewhere I could take Jesse to learn herding. He seems to have a great instinct for it but unfortunately...there's nowhere to go. I can't wait until we start agility again in April.

It IS interesting...Jesse doesn't drink much either and when he was younger I was very concerned about it. On the other hand, his sister, Kalli, drinks a lot and has much cleaner teeth!

The muzzle is working!! I had Jesse off leash twice and only put the muzzle on for about a minute at a time. He spends that minute frantically trying to get it off. I would remove it and said "quiet"...then let him smell the sweet potato crisps I made from the recipe on this site. HE LOVES...

Welcome from Newfoundland! Can't wait to see pics.

What a sweetie!! The white on her face is just like Jesse. Welcome!!

Picking Pip! Welcome to the forum...there are so many tips and so many to offer advice. You'll really enjoy it! The puppies are so cute at that age. My breeder selected a quiet boy for me and a feisty girl for my daughter. At 4 months of age they switched personalities!! Jesse is now the hyper...
