Welcome Glad you've joined. Your dog is gorgeous of face, body and visible spirit.

Meetup So, not to be pushy, and I would absolutely attend at another site: I will contact the State of CT official to see if one cd reserve the picnic area at Penwood State Park, and puut up some portable fencing, for a weekend afternoon in early Oct (gorgeous foliage then) and once I have...

Images of Angus and his pack at last! Here is Angus. Now have learned how to upload pictures to an album, which apparently does not work on the iPad but works fine on the desktop computer. So please take a look at my pride and joy and his best friends in the Angus Album.

Walkies Weekdays I walk Angus 20 minutes before work ; Ro gives him 2 to 4 walks of 10-15 min apiece during the day, and I do one or two, averaging 20 min, in the evening. When our fenced area is built we'll reduce this. We also can see every day that as a young dog and an "only", he is...

Hi Lori First, welcome! Ro and I have a grown-up son but we would fuss and make nice with any child at the meet-up; that said, she's likely to have the best time if there are also some other kids. If it were in Bloomfield--and I am ten steps ahead of myself--you cd take the ferry to...

Superb! Near Massachusetts is good for Angus and the two other Shelties in the Windsor-Bloomfield Pack. We cd even suggest the picnic area in Penwood State Park,or if fenced free-running is vital, perhaps Rocky Hill Dog Park.

Good for you, Marybeth Welcome to the forums, and thank you for saving Blue and other dogs. He will surely bring joy and laughter to your lives, and also a unique connection with your little girl. On every phone call when our son was at college, his first words were, "How is Montey? I miss...

The Shelties and the Bacon One of my Sheltie poems. Hope you like it. The Shelties and the Bacon On this same visit, we are making headway But not near so cozy as old shoes. I start to cook some bacon on the griddle, Smell curls about the house, And suddenly there stand Before my...

Musashi My condolences. He was stunningly beautiful and clearly great in heart and spirit. Henry

Our dear friend Houseofshamus, also known as Angus's second Mommy, is being very fresh: he already has made himself thoroughly at home with her Shelties and Golden, and he just spent today there, AND has a sleepover there this weekend. Fortunately for us Shamiesmom is the smartest, most...

New York City Dear take4roll10, I noticed your locale is NYC, and that you are the Moderator here; :smile2:if it's not improper, I'd ask if you are aware of any dog events in the city that Joseph might attend and/or rescue groups in the city that might be accessible on public transportation...

Thanks to all Thank you all for the welcome: confirms my feeling that Sheltie people as a group are friendlier than average. We know Long Island Setland Sheepdog Rescue, having applied there and also spoken to a very nice lady who runs it, before Angus adopted us. Joseph has no car because he...

Howdy Hi K9 Queen, I read your Hi post and realized how threadbare my own was. Will try to do better. Am glad to be on this site, and now you are no longer the newest kid on the block.

Hello everybody. I am angus, a gorgeous 1 and 1/2 year old tricolor who owns Henry, Ro and their grown son Joseph who is a final-year law student in NYC. I am way too skittish around cars, so Mom amd Dad can't bring me to visit Joseph, and he pines for me. So, any suggestions for making me...

Hello and questions :smile2:Please add another Connecticut Sheltie family to the list. We wd be interested in a Sept meetup in the Kent area (a little under 2 hr drive for us). And mt be able to bring our pack--our Angus and our friend with her Tucker and Kelsey, both splendid lovely dogs
