I have not let dogs sleep with me since I was a kid. I'm a restless sleeper, and I find if a dog is sleeping in bed with me I tend to not turn over, and get "stuck" in one position. My cat that does sleep with me will wake up when I turn over, wait until get settled, then resnuggle into me...

I might like beer too much if that's what my phone says! Lol yes, breeder!

He's actually Ciel Brae Phantom of the Moors, but yes, his face reminded us of Phantom of the Opera. He's a sweetie... and loves his family.

With my previous dogs (I had the at the time), I had a poop eater. My boss at the obedience school told me to feed the poop eater organ meats... so I feed him a couple of chicken livers every two weeks. He stopped eating poop. She said she believed it was because his diet want being suggested...

I really didn't mean for it to happen. Yes.. I had puppy fever, but he picked me. They took him out of the pen, and he came running to me first, crawled in my lap, and kissed me. The other puppy took off elsewhere. Phantom just nuzzled and cuddled me. Sigh... totally a goner. Lol

Our new baby Phantom. We picked him up yesterday at the breeder... He's wonderful! http://s1289.photobucket.com/user/Heather_Pohlman/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20140616_153810_zpsmhuarpn9.jpg.html

Yesterday we went to the beer and got an adorable 10-week old blue merle boy who ha a split face. We named him Phantom. Let the fun begin!

We lost our old friend of 16 years (mixed breed) in February. I said no dogs for a year. I had foot surgery last month and I said okay... maybe fall. My whole house had become sheltie crazy (I've had 4 but my husband never had had one). So he's been researching the breed, raw diets, training...

Thanks so much! I love these ideas!

So, I'm looking at getting a puppy in the fall. I've always had shelties that stick like glue to me and don't run off, ever. However, I need to be prepared. Getting a fence at the house is a possibility, but not for about a year. So, I'm looking at a temporary measure. Now, this would not be...

Hey folks... just joined the forums. I had three dogs that I fed raw too. One was a sheltie, the other were mixed breeds, one who survived parvo. I have to say, I was very impressed with the diet. It takes work and dedication, but the six years my guys were on it they looked amazing. I'm...

Lol Sullivan... my new husband (we've been married a bit over a month) made the comment to me. Right before the surgery, there was a woman, about 80 in age, pushing a stroller down our street. She was impossibly slow! He said, see, you'll be lapping old ladies in no time. I was truly insulted...

Yeah... I plan on getting a puppy. I prefer it that way... being able to train from the ground up. I get my stitches out of my foot tomorrow and can start transitioning into a gym shoe next week out of the orthopedic boot! I can't wait! I haven't been able to walk like a normal person for 9...

Hey everyone! Just joined. I'm planning on getting a sheltie in the fall. I've had 4 in my lifetime. My first I showed as a child in amateur shows and won trophies and ribbons in best tricks and best of show! That was my introduction to the dog world! My second was a wonderful (but ill) house...
