Toxic plants Here's one I just found out about today. The back yard is my mother-in-law's domain. She told me that the dogs had been chewing on the honeysuckle she has out there. Well guess what? Honeysuckle is toxic to dogs. I'm faced with a dilemma. I know she won't let me dig the plants up...

Tru's Vocabulary I've had Tru since she was 15 months old. She seems to have picked up several words or phrases. Of course there is "Go" or "Go outside". She also responds to "Can you Bow" as in take a bow. That's one of her tricks. Then there is "Roll Over", "Paw" or "Shake" or "Cookie". Since...

Kendall's Age Barb, I would tend to agree with you on Kendall's age. When I first saw I thought she was about 1 year old or a little less. Her coat is still extremely soft just like the puppy fur. Also her playful behavior and stubbornness about listening (actually not listening) to...

Latest Update Sorry I aven't posted anything for awhile. But, Kendall has been officially registered to us. At least as far as Dade County is concerned. I've uploaded a new album with a couple of pictures of Kendall with Tru. Tru has been a much happier fur person with a sister to play with...

Making it Official Well, here's the latest. I have not heard back from the guy after I told him I had the microchip number also and would compare what he had to it. So, today I have an appointment with my veterinarian for a complete exam and to get Kendall registered as our dog. (Yeah!) I've...

Quite the handsome fellow. Almost looks like my Tru's twin brother. How anyone could allow such a nice fur person to be tormented in that way is beyond me. You should have no trouble finding a forever home for him.:wink2:

The Plot Thickens Shortly after I posted my last update I received a note from the guy. Here is what he wrote; "hi shawn i do have the numbers from the microchip im just awaiting cause my aunt is out of town she will be back this week and will be giving me those microchip numbers i just dont...

He could very well have gotten the dog for his kids. I would still have at least a few pictures, especially of the dog with the kids. As far as getting away, I'm not really sure. He did mention that she got out along with his Labrador. She was found with out tags or collar. I'm not sure she even...

As the world Turns Another little update about our furry foundling. I have been corresponding via email with a person claiming to be the Sheltie's owner. Some initial info from him raised some hope we had found her family. But then things kinda went sideways on us. The area he advised where he...

I've seen a show called "It's me or the Dog" that was made with Victoria Stillwell. She is a well known dog trainer from the UK. Her advice when walking your dog and you see another approaching, you should immediately reverse direction when your dog starts barking. When he stops the bark then...

Even though my mother-in-law is home most of the time every day, she doesn't interact with my Tru at all. I used to leave my radio on a talk channel set to a low volume just to make Tru think that there were more people in the house. Now that we have the little Sable visitor (See the "Found in...

Still No Joy for Little Sable Female Here's a little update for our little visitor. We've taken to calling her Kendall, as thats the area where she was found. The folks with Home Again contacted the pet shop that implanted Kendall's microchip. They didn't have any owner information available...

Greetings! My name is Shawn Kneipple and I live the Miami Area. We have found a little Sable Female Sheltie a couple of days ago in one of the western suburbs. You could tell that she was someone's companion as she is in fairly good shape and and a little dirty, but well groomed. She's very...
