Jan, we miss you at Sheltieforum. I know that things are pretty tough on you right now, but please keep in touch. We all miss your helpful posts.
Also, I noticed that you used to have a Papillon. My sister is interested in getting a Papillon, but doesn't know much about them. Would you please send me your comparison between a Papillon and a sheltie? It would be easier to tell her what she could expect from a Papillon--she is used to my shelties and would love to have one, but she's moving into an apartment.
Hope things are going better for you.
