Tinker is doing just great my daughter takes her to the nursing home every other Sunday for 2 hours to visit with the residents and they just love her don't even have to put a leash on her inside she knows right where to go follows me down to give report to staff coming on and sits as quiet as a little mouse.

Hi:

I don't expect this will come as a surprise to either of you, but we have made our decision, and we would love to have Valleybabes Little Miss Bella join our household. The kitties have been told and have been very sooky, but they will adjust. I am trying to make contact with a lady in Kingston who does obedience and agility classes, but she hasn't gotten back to me yet. I would at least like to have basic obedience.

Hi Nanny and Poppy,

I didn't have the best drive to my new home. It got sick and threw up, but I was a good girl and cleaned it all up before Mommy had the chance to get the door open. Not too long after that I did it again, but Mommy did get to it first. I tried to be a good girl and clean it up. We stopped at the new doctor to say hi and they loved me. I drooled over everything and everybody and Mommy kept wiping my mouth. I was so embarrassed.

When we got to my new home, I met my new brothers who really aren't sure about me, but neither even hissed at me, which is good. Norton, the big one, supervises my every move. I have so many new smells and I am just being quite the busybody checking everything out. Mommy tried to take a picture, but I wouldn't stay still. She did manage to get the three of us, but I wasn't having anything to do with it.

Mommy took me outside and we played in the snow. I loved it, and I even did my number 2 business. When we came back in the house, Mommy cleaned off my feet and after a few more sniffs with my brothers, I was put down for my afternoon nap. I didn't like it for a while, but Mommy put on some nice soothing music with birds chirping in the background and I fell asleep. All is well. Love and hugs,

Little Miss Bella

Hi Nannie,

I just had to tell you what a good girl I was on my first night away from my brothers and sisters. Mommy took me out for a pee around 9:00 pm and then we went to bed. Mommy put my "house" by her so I could see her. I slept all night and didn't even make a peep. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of me. We got up 7:00 and Mommy took me outside and I did both my businesses. I haven't done anything in the house and Mommy and Daddy are so proud of me. My new big brother, Norton, is a lot of fun and kind of tolerates me. Milo . . . not so much, but I hope he learns to like me.

Anyhow, I just wanted you to know that I am liking my new home. I have lots to play with and Mommy plays ball with me all the time. I have two new favourite spots: on a stool in front of the fire, and in Norton's hammock. I do go to my house for nap time and over night.

I will let you know how I am doing in a few days.

Love to you and Grampie.

"Some years ago I stopped taking my dog for professional grooming as my dog was always unhappy with the process and I was always unhappy with the results.

Now R&H Shelties provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and Rita’s skill, knowledge and especially patience have brought us back.

I would particularly recommend R&H for older, fussier dogs for whom the ‘assembly line’ experience has been damaging." - Wendy Courtice
