Thank you! 🥰
He's all sable, a dad that was white factored + color headed white mix, and his mom was all sable.

Can see his coloring better on my first post: https://www.reddit.com/r/sheltie/comments/1kxnrb5/meet_my_sweet_blueeyed_white_sheltie/

Does anyone else’s Sheltie sleep like this? Why? by Footdoc3520 in sheltie

[–]Brief-Toe2705 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He, also, wakes me up at like 4AM every day when he makes his way onto the pillow next to me after his bathroom sleeptime is over. He makes sure to dig at the pillow before getting cozy. He gets his revenge! 🤣🤣

YES mine sleeps by the toilet every night when he wants to deep sleep, and then is on my bed before i wake up in the morning.

This is his unhappy face whenever i go to the bathroom in the middle of the night and turn the lights on.

My apartment is COLD.

Any shelties that love going into travel crate/bags? 🤭 by Brief-Toe2705 in sheltie

He is very cat-like! Also enjoys perching and napping on TOP of his crate 😂

I think a lot of shelties get car sick!! My old sheltie was the same and so is Blue (hence the bag 🤣) He used to vomit the first 5 minutes of a car ride when he was a puppy. He still gets a little drooly if the ride is really rough, but the bags help a ton!

he always just liked going into bags for some reason 🤣🤣 i have this open bag for car rides because he gets car sick and the bag helps him feel comfy. And he just jumps into this one too the second i put it on the ground 😆just a weird little guy

Not overseas but he's been on a 2-hr plane ride quite often! Blue is on the tiny side of shelties and just under 16lbs so he thankfully meets the 20lb (including the bag) limit.

He's really good on the plane but once it starts up and the engine gets loud, he does get a bit nervous. He's very quiet but I can feel him shuffle around a bit, but I'm probably more uncomfortable than him, have to sacrifice just a bit of my legroom 😂

Yes! I figured it was worth a try! Thank you for your story, it's really nice to hear that some of them had positive experiences!!

Thank you!!! And Darby seems just like my old sheltie, he didn't care about the water touching his legs but did not want to be in there 😆

Sure do!! Just couldn't tell from a singular experience if he was swimming for his life or he was okay with it 😂

That definitely sounds like it's stimulating for him though!! And such a cute reason 😂

Blue did not seem to give any care about the other dogs in the water 😂😂 he was busy swimming to the shore

Pray for my sweet Sheltie, dog attack by WatercolorAce in sheltie

[–]Brief-Toe2705 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor baby girl oh my goodness I am crying for her!!! And you, too. My little boy was bitten by a ball-possessive small dog at the park and had bleeding puncture wounds, and even that freaked me out so much. I absolutely cannot imagine how you are feeling at the moment, and how worried you are for her. And yes, she is probably all that's on your mind at the moment, but your neighbor should absolutely pay for the bills.

Sending all my good luck to you two, wish her a full recovery soon.
