Owning a Sheltie Means...

[MissyGallant]

Owning a sheltie means that when you wake up crying in the middle of the night because it's just been a horrible time in your life, you will have a furry little face kissing away the tears.

Owning a sheltie means that when you have a horrible day at work- no matter how horrible, fur therapy waits at the end of the drive home.

Or owning a sheltie means shrugging and eating it anyway. (Sorry- couldn't resist)

Hahaha, I was totally thinking it!

how true!

Owning a sheltie means that someday your heart will break and will have a sheltie size hole in it. It will never be completely filled again, but if you are very lucky another sheltie will come into your life and you will love again.

Having said goodbye to two precious shelties so far, this is precisely correct. They steal pieces of your heart and when they depart it is SO hard to get over them, but you MUST grant another access and go through the process all over again, because they are so endearing that you know you can't be w/o one.

I'll never have a surprise party!!!

That's a good one.

Chris, thanks for making me "laugh out loud." I needed that!

Owning a sheltie means.......you will have "unconditional" love and loyalty.

Owning a sheltie (or two) means that a house become a home.

They own us!

Owning 2 shelties means although I'm afraid of being home alone I have 2 body guards that will protect me and make me feel safe

Owning a Sheltie means your weekend is filled with fetch, frisbee, hikes, walkies, and park trips...and you wouldn't have it any other way.

Oh! My! So many truths here!

Owning a Sheltie means I have to replace my furnace filter twice per year because it get clogged with hair.

Means never been able to move around the house without one tagging along with me. Which also means to move with head down so you don't trip over the pup that is dogging your heals

Means never being able to put toilet paper in the holder. TP. Is a great, inexpensive and recyclable toy!

Means as long as their are squirrels, the house will never be silent. Indy has a six sense for squirrel intrusions

Never needing a barometer or alarm system. The KNOW when something is happening.

Give up on body cream, because they are just going to lick it off.

Giving up 3/4 of my bed......

Disabling the doorbell

Give up on sleeping past 6 am. Hello! I'm awake and want to party!

Leaving for one overnight and being smothered with kisses when you finally come home.....they love there people

Having people tell you over and over how beautiful your dogs are

Need I say more?
