Hello, I am new to this forum! I am 19 & I have a 5 year old tri-color named Nicky 
Here is a recent picture:
After losing my 7r old Beagle to cancer, I just couldn't live without a dog around. I wasn't sure what breed I wanted, but when I discovered the Sheltie I fell in LOVE. After 2 months of searching, I finally found a breeder online w/ 4 tricolor males available & on September 2nd 2007, we made the 5 hour drive to Maine. I chose Nicky because he was calm & sweet I held him the way entire way home & we've been inseparable ever since. Literally. I cannot go anywhere without him by my side, he even follows me into the bathroom 
He's HUGE for a Sheltie, so obviously he wasn't show quality ... plus, one of his ears doesn't stand up straight w/ the other one, LOL, but that's what makes him cute!
He's seriously the love of my life. He's so playful, smart & full of personality.
I just wanna hug him all the time!
Anyways, he's been having some issues with his skin. We're still trying to figure out what causes it, but thankfully it's not cancer. We just had a really bad scare when the vet discovered something that looked like a tumor on his back leg. He had it removed, I was so afraid that it was cancer & I was going to lose him
I held him every night & just cried until the test results came back ... it was benign! I was so relieved!! He is happy & healthy We're waiting for his incision from surgery to heal & then he gets to go to the groomers for a good haircut (LOTS of hair)
