Beautiful pup! Looking at the first pic it reminds me that one of mine loves beer, and the other won't go near it. I guess dogs are people too.
Aww Man, your sheltie makes me miss my Snickers so very much (RIP 8/16/16). She was with us for 16 years, and was the best dog ever.
I sponsor a dog in the local area. "4 Paws Permanent Residents are pets that will remain in our care forever. They were abandoned or surrendered with serious health concerns or are pets in their twilight years." My dog is Beanie a 13 year old Shih-Tzu
Noisette's a talkative little queen, I suspect. Tommy (my deaf cat, RIP) was, from all accounts, an albino Siamese. He, too, was typically talkative - except he couldn't hear himself meow. Dig that at 5:30 am for 16 years! I would welcome that deafening sound in heartbeat, of course.
