I have a sheltie. I had completely sworn off dogs after the last two evil
ones that came my way (the doby/hound mix we rescued from someone who used him
for hunting and beat him; he turned out to be profoundly aggressive, biting
everyone) and my step-daughter's pit/lab mix (we called her destructo-dog -- I
lost more pairs of shoes to that animal....), but my folks' Sheltie died
after 15 years and they missed him so much they bought Lucy (well, they bought
two shelties -- male & female, Desi & Lucy). Desi ran into the road and got
hit. Lucy drove them nuts because she's, well, wired .....not the sedate
thing their previous sheltie was. I fell in love with her.....sweet
personality, mischievous, incredibly curious, beautiful markings...very loyal.
Trots
around after me from room to room and cuddles with me if I'm not feeling well.
But if any other person walks into the house she turns into instant
tazmanian devil -- I swear she's part rabbit or cat or mountain goat -- she
has
springs in all four legs and leaps from one piece of furniture to the next.
She's
not yet a year old, so I trust this adolescent behaviour will eventually
leave <g>. When I was a kid we had Collies -- when we were very little we
used
to ride on their backs like horses. Shelties are a compromise....
