It Takes All Sizes
Tue Jul 14 2009

Scotty is visiting us again.

His owner is having some medical problems and needed a place for him to stay for a week or so.

He, like Ben and Sunny is shedding his winter coat like crazy. Yesterday I pulled an astonishing amount of hair off him. He wasn't all that fond of the process, but I insisted. Today he needs a bath. It will be a good day for it. We are supposed to get over 100 degrees. He'll dry off fast.

He is a real short little Sheltie. I told Hub Man he is so short he looks like he's standing in a hole.

I'm not kidding.

Check it out.

Scotty's favorite thing is a garden hose or sprinkler. Oh yes, and chasing cats.
Fiona has taken up residence under my chair in the living room. If he gets too close, an ominous growl wafts up from the darkness. Scotty is not impressed.

Poor Fiona. She puts up with a lot.

    What he lacks in size, he makes up for in beauty.
    And he looks much slimmer, too.
    They are all beauties.
    Poor Fiona. I bet she'll have him whipped into shape in no time and show him who is boss.

    I can't believe the hair that comes out of my cats. Does Fiona shed much?

    I'm about to take my cats to a groomer for a thorough combing and bath. Oops. Just said the B word.

    Scottie is short. Yeah! He's a goodlooking lad, though. Shedding or no.

    PS

    Scottie's ears stand up way to the tips. But Ben's tips fold over a bit. Are these ears usual variations?

    Beautiful dogs! But, I don't think I could handle the shedding! I'm annoyed with my mini-Dachsund's shedding, and his fur is short!

    Blessings to you for Dog-Sitting! I'm sure Scotty's owner is much-relieved to know his Sheltie is in a good place!
