Sure, you're right, I haven't updated this blog in a while...months, in fact. But, the wind was sort of taken out of my sails. You see, our good egg, Dougie the tri-color Collie, passed away on May 9, 2009. He received a rabies' shot on 3/29/09 and it made his immune system go wacky. He passed away in the arms of the Presto Dog First Lady on the date noted above. I have tears in my eyes just writing about this tragic event. Of course, we'll never forget that guy. What a lovable, goofy guy!  Dougie There's rumors we'll have another Collie as a part of our pack in the not-too-distant future...we'll keep you posted. Dougie...we hardly knew ye.

Yup, we'e gone & done it again. We have another Sheltie in our den. Now this isn't a permanent situation...we're merely "dog-sitting for a friend. She's a little puppy & her name is Amy. I managed (of course!) to take some pictures of Amy. Feast your eyes! Here's a shot of Amy on a make-believe judge's table (This shot is also repeated in the post right below this one but she's so cute I couldn't resist posting it again!):  Amy 1 Amy going through a make-believe inspection by a make-believe judge:  Amy 2 Here she's sitting in one of the pack's beds:  Amy 3 After a brief run around the house, here's Amy resting in her (adopted) bed:  Amy 4 Finally Amy is seen here looking at a bug or something walking past her on the floor:  Amy 5 |

We loaded up our trusty van (GMC Safari), hit the road and by 9:00 a,m, or so this morning were at the latest dog show we entered our li'l Maggie in. For those of you that may not be familiar with the Presto Dog pack, Maggie is our Shetland Sheepdog show dog. She's about 2 years, 2 months old and to date has shown a real affinity for the ring. Here's our gal as she patiently waits to receive a treat in the ring:  Maggie - Berks County She didn't win her group, but as always we had fun with our "dog people" friends. I don"t think I mentioned this previously, but the Presto Dog First Lady is dog-sitting for one of our friends. The pup's name is Amy and she's sure to start acquiring points in the ring in a few short months. Here's a picture of Amy as she tries to understand the table she needs to stand on for the judge is really not that intimidating:  Amy 1 I snapped another picture of Amy as the judge looked her over. I'm happy to say that the judge eventually mentioned she's a real fine looking Sheltie:  Amy 2 Chatti is another Sheltie pup that was entered in the show today:  Chatti 1 Hope you enjoyed the photos! |

Hey! I took out the trusty ol' Presto Dog camera and took some more pictures of our pack as they were frolicking in the yard (a.k.a., pastureland) earlier today. To start off, here's a picture of two of our Shelties, Lily (top) and Maggie, staring in abject amazement at their shadows:  Lily & Maggie Next up, we see Lily with a deflated ball. Nothing wrong with that, folks, 'cause it makes it easier for any of our pack members to pick it up as they romp & play:  Lily with Ball Maggie waits for me to take a few steps forward and kick her yellow ball so that she can run after it, retrieve it, and start the process all over again:  Maggie with Ball Now, here's Declan, our little Sheltie alpha dog, squinting in the bright sunlight as he was looking off into the distance:  Declan Squints Lyric, the elder states person of the Presto Dog pack at ten very healthy years of age barks at nothing in particular. Of course, she's yet another fine example of a Sheltie:  Lyric Barks And here's Dougie, the good egg as I call him, watching some interesting activity at the barn next to our place. He's a Collie and doesn't quite understand why he's so big in comparison with the four Shelties he's grown up with. I guess he feels like Gulliver in the land of the Lilliputians:  Dougie Watches Two friends, Decaln (left) and Maggie in the process of barking in each others' faces:  Declan & Maggie Hope you enjoyed our dogs! |
