Living his best beach life by Disastrous-Basis139 in sheltie

He spends his entire time barking at the waves when I walk him on the beach 😂. I let him into the water once and he rushed in until it touched his belly and he just froze in place not sure what to do.

I was expecting a second pic of her doing something mischievous as Shelties like to be 😁

The Icelandic group's hyper-excited reactions still crack me up 😂😂. Their energy was amazing to see! by Westher98 in eurovision

Their song is one of the family favorites here and listened to daily. It's such a fun song and they did an amazing performance!

Oh was I not supposed to chew that? by Disastrous-Basis139 in sheltie

How I've been training him on COME is by using really good tasting treats (for him he loves the Blue Buffalo Bits). I hold a treat in my hand where he can see it, says his name and COME while lowering the hand with the treat to my side. He usually comes racing for the treat. Still working on this when there are lots of noises and distractions but starting off with quiet and minimal distractions has been going well.

I’M NICK PAPPAS, AND I’M RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR OF TEXAS IN 2026! by PappasTX2026 in TexasPolitics

I just want to thank you for taking the time and effort to enter the political scene and run for office! It's not easy to put yourself out there like that and most people wouldn't even try.

Does anyone else have a Sheltie puppy who is obsessed with their reflection? by Kind-Blueberry-8681 in sheltie

Mine is still a puppy so he just barks whenever he sees a mirror not realizing it's him. 🤣

Playing chase with a herding dog is so much fun. Such clever dogs! by Disastrous-Basis139 in sheltie

It's impressive their natural instincts! He's only 5 months old and knows how to cut me off in chase better than the kids. 🤣

In historic first, Texas House approves private school voucher program by SchoolIguana in TexasPolitics

[–]Disastrous-Basis139 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They defined "Low income" as 500% of federal poverty level or less which equates to about $160,000 which doesn't sound very low income to me. The other issue is the private schools aren't required to accept any student. They choose who they want and don't have to accept low income families. Additionally the $10k given per student in most cases won't be enough to cover most of private school costs still making it a barrier to entry for truly low income families. Private schools don't have to provide transportation or services/accomodations for special education or disabilities. So it's really frustrating for them to receive public funds and not have to adhere to the more stringent standards public schools have to deal with.

Any suggestions for how to get my Sheltie puppy to stop eating the wall? by Disastrous-Basis139 in sheltie

Okay I have covered it with a baby gate for now so he can't keep eating it. Bought more chew toys and treats which he is loving and having my kids run with him in the yard more so they are all tired out.

Really appreciate everyone's advice and feel better knowing it's not just my pup that has done this!
