Today, tomorrow, & our wish for You & Lily I'm no expert, but I think the unpredictability is one of the harshest, common, components of having a dog experiencing seizures. We can steel ourselves against what we expect, but the unknown is truly daunting. Perhaps there's encouragement in...

"Hill's Prescription Diet" -- 'Potato and Duck Formula' has worked well for my Healey. He's 2, (& a half Dad!) and doesn't seem to have diet related seizures. It was what the vet' recommended on Healey's initial seizure-related visit tho. (Edit: I stay away from chicken & turkey.) I know the...

hmmm.... All apologies I would never intentionally put any critter at risk -- no need to HOLLER tho. (It just confuses me :hide .) I honestly didn't mean to turn Cody into a bad dog. My sheltie isn't tall enough to be concerned about counter espionage. My counters don't hold food material...

Welcome eh Nice to meet you Andy, and Toffee. Welcome! Looks like she's livin' large -- nice puppy digs. A really cutie too. Great pic of Toffee MR too. Edit: Oh, and on the schedule. I wouldn't react to her whining, and I would make a positive fuss over her if she lets you sleep. A...

A sheltie that won't play ??? mmmm.... Welcome, and thanks for the rescue. :smile2: I'm certainly not an expert (but lol), I'm confident Cody will come around. A couple of things I really enjoy about shelties are, they continue to learn, and they are so eager to please. Not playing is a new...

Welcome eh.

So sorry I hope you find peace in memories.

Nice to meet you Kevin & Eliora... ...cool vid'. Congrat's on; not letting education issues interfere with your learning, and congrat's on your Eliora! Nothing like a good play, with a good dog, to put others' constraints (scoop em) in their proper place. My buddy, Healey, helps me keep my chin...

Happy birthday Murphy!!! And welcome Kelly. :smile2:

Gone's a long time. I think I understand a bit of what you're going thru. Want to hang on forever but, don't want them to suffer for one second. My old girl needs carried too. She spends most of her time napping so, there's eight stations set up to give her variety. Instead of chocolates...

Saluting their perseverance, & graceful acceptance Hello, and welcome. I have a blind 21 year old mixed (she reacts to light but, essentially lost her sight/hearing years ago), and I have a Sheltie pup who was born totally blind. It's interesting, and often surprising, to watch an older dog...

Thanks for the rescue eh. Welcome, and the very best, to you & yours. :wink2:

Welcome No expert for sure but imo, the ear tip(s) not tipping is common bond shared by Sheltie owners. Lots of good info available on the forum. I would advise you read a variety of opinions, and form your own. I use gum. My pup's ears were irritated by "excel WHITE", though ordinary "Double...

Welcome 'Vintage' owner here too. I know that, "What have I done?", :gaahfeeling well. I just look at; nobody has tomorrow's guarantee but, I will guarantee I'll love you to pieces today. I'm 56, and had no thoughts of a pup. Then -- there he was! I look after myself a little better...

Thanks I don't know how you get 3 of them to sit so still, and so distinguished. I'm just getting sleep, and blur shots. You have a great looking posse! Out of the blue -- Healey is becoming quite the accomplished 'ball dog'. Play to his strengths (slit tennis ball, add kibble, skipping...
