Back in 2008, we only had Princess, who had suffered some health problems, so we got Charlie. They were very close, but sadly, Princess passed in 2009. Charlie retreated to behind the rocker, would not come out for handouts from the table, and generally acted depressed. he also wouldn't eat. It...

Same story here. We got the name of the vet, but really no care had been done to them. We figured another 2 weeks would have been too late for them. Our late dog Charlie was renamed upon rescue from the awful puppy mill/kennel. He was known as Tanner.

I had to start right in back in 2000 when I met my wife. She had Princess, who was 3 at the time. Her ex-husband abused her (one of the reasons he's her ex), so I had to work with her to make her trust a man again. That took a couple of years, and lots of treats! We think there had been some...

In 2007 our 9 year old Sheltie, Princess, developed a cancerous growth in one of her back legs. We had it removed, but it soon returned. It was touch and go, if she'd lose her leg, but the vet was able to save it, and she made a full recovery. We decided then she should have a companion, so we...

Diego's happy. He has about 2" here, but it will all melt away later on. I'll throw some snowballs at him a little later before it goes away.

We had lost Princess in May 2009. We had gotten Charlie in June 2008 as a companion to her after she went through 2 cancers in her leg. (Charlie just passed away 11/3/2012). Charlie was depressed at the loss of his buddy, staying in his "safe spot", and not wanting to come to the table to join...

I now have the clay paw prints of his front feet, with his name etched in below. It's really cute, with a ribbon to hang it up. Mark

I forgot to mention, that this is a new service our vet is offering, but we are getting a clay paw print of Charlie. It should be ready sometime this week. I'm also going to do the same thing I did for Princess after she left, is to print a picture of Charlie, frame it, and hang his collar...

Thank you everyone. It's really hard dealing with this, but we still have 3 wonderful Shelties full of life here that we love with all of our heart.

We lost our wonderful rescue Sheltie Charlie on Saturday morning Nov. 3. He was an estimated 13 years old. He had a rough life up until 2008, when we got him. He was a resident of a cruel puppy mill/kennel with 250 other dogs, and he lived that part of his life outside in a cage, with very...

Maybe Shelby will meet up with Charlie, who passed away yesterday at home. He was a rescue from a puppy mill of 250 dogs back in 2007. We figure he was about 13 years old. Fortunately, he went suddenly, and did not suffer.
