I know it's abit late but, I wanted to Introduce our sheltie Jake. (i'm not sure but i think i've said something about him before but never went into detail.)
About three weeks after we lost kain, my dad brought home a little 6week old sheltie from a rescue shelter. What happened was Jake was apart of a backyard breeder's collection. The cops had found out about it after a fire at the house, and took all the dogs. My dad said the shelter people said out of 6 puppies in the litter, only three lived. But they didn't think that the other three would live long. My dad has a huge place in his heart for dogs so he got jake, hoping to save at lest one life. My brother and i are home schooled so he knew we had the time to care around the clock for jake. I'll never forget when i saw him, he was so small and shaking. The second I saw him he had me wrapped around his little paw. But the poor thing was so scared and covered in fleas and had worms, From being outside all his little life. (The shelter people had started him on worming stuff, and tried to get him a bath.) So my brother and i had to pick fleas off, using fingers and a flea comb.I was so worried about him the first night. He was so weak and small, he slept in bed with me, and i had to feed him from a bottle.
It was like that for two months, nursing both his body and soul. During that time he was never alone. he was always with me or my brother.
How that he's a year old we feel he's safe, and he's heathly. You'd never know what kind of past he had. Besides him running behide me, or someone in my family when he's scared. We are alittle worried as tomorrow will be the one year since we lost kain. But away here are the pic's.
here he is at about four months i think, with my brother.
And here he is at a little over a year old. with his favorite friends the pigs, yumi and felfei.
It's so funny he'll clean them and watch them, if the cat gets close he runs it away.
