My wife and I volunteer and help out Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue. I got into it a while ago after a buddy of mine and his sig. other became the heads of Triangle Sheltie Rescue. I'm not really a "dog person" but said if I ever got a dog, it would be a sheltie. A few months after our Sheltie Mia died just before thanksgiving - we started looking again. We adopted Chloe in January. Then decided she should have a sister to keep her company. We adopted Cara a few weeks later. Since then, we have been doing "foster parenting". A few weeks ago, I picked up "Amos" and this past weekend, officially became a "foster flunkee" and adopted him. So, now we have three - and that's it! It gets crazy around the house sometimes but lots of fun. The agility equipment you saw I just made yesterday. Saw some plans on the net and it's off to Home Depot we went! Havn't tried herding yet though I have heard they have a ball doing it. However, the three of them take turns herding each other in the backyard! Anyway, hoping more of you can post pics! BTW, flickr.com is great for doing that - and is free for a basic account.

One day maybe mine will be how I want it.... Enjoyed the pics of dogs, agility and Disney. Do you also do herding with the shelties?

Would be nice to see some of your shops as well to check out how you set them up - and get ideas (whether they be in your house or store front). See http://flickr.com/photos/levelbest/sets/72057594071145755/ Also of note, our dedicated space would always get very hot when we were running the machines and such. Didn't really think much about it but we had 10 overhead floodlights in the room... that's 10x65 watts of power for 650 watts of heat being thrown off by the bulbs. Was in home depot yesterday and they now how flourescent flood lights which run at all of 14.5 watts and are cool to the touch the second you turn them off. So I replaced 8 of the 10 (they had four packs for only $13) and left two normal floods for color balancing purposes). The room is now noticably cooler! Running at 246 Watts instead - and we are getting the same amount of light (maybe even a little more). Two things of note... the flourescent floods take about 1-2 mins to get to their full brightness when turned on - and they are not dimmable. Anyway, thought I would share in case any of you had this issue.
