One year ago (last week), we brought this cute little guy home:
Travis is a Blue Merle Sheltie. Nine months later, we were gluttons for punishment brought this little cutie home:
Rolex is a Sable Merle Sheltie. Notice his ginormous paws as a puppy? I had a feeling he’d outgrow Travis in no time. I was right. Here’s a picture I took of the boys yesterday – keep in mind that Rolex is almost exactly 9 months younger than Travis, and he still has some growing to do:
What’s really funny is to watch them play – Travis, being ‘older’ tries to be the Alpha Dog, but Rolex can wrestle him to the ground faster than he can say “Woof!” Travis is the hyperactive busybody one, where Rolex is very laid back and mellow. Their personalities balance each other out nicely, and they tolerate love Princess Nagger (mostly because she can be a messy eater, especially when she’s wandering around aimlessly with a snack) and are ever watchful of her when she’s out playing in the yard.
They fit in well with our family, because they are the epitome of Dork Dogs.
They are both beautiful!

There is something about my blog/my theme/some plugin that messes with CommentLuv. Oh well. It picks a pic of my home which maybe looks inviting???
Anyway, the dogs are adorable. We really wish we could have a dog…maybe someday.

They look like awesome dogs! I so miss the instant vacuum cleaner effect that dogs provide around small children. We are waiting until the boys are a bit older before we get another dog. So tough to wait though!

I can’t even believe how much they’ve grown already! I think it’s hilarious that PN is so blissfully unaware of how many treats she is providing for them!
They are completely adorable. Dogs love kids who drop food. They will put up with a myriad of hugging and loving for the potential of a dropped snack.
Both dogs are beautiful………and I’m guessing SMART! 🙂
My MIL always had shelties … so beautiful!

okay, OMG, OMG, I”m dying over here. I promised P. we could get a dog in September. I don’t miss the fleas, the groomings, the walkings, etc but one look at those faces and I remember why I do miss having one.

Blue is 9 years old. Harry is 7.
Blue weighs 38 lbs on a light day.
Harry weighs 11 lbs soaking wet and unshaved.
Since Harry turned around 6 months, Blue has always been Harry’s bitch. True!

They are just adorable. I wish I could have a dog, but my husband took the passing of our Cleo (Black Lab) so hard that he says he’s not ready. 🙁 He’s really worried about our rug I think. He scrubbed it so many times when our old dog was having her accidents. She was 17 when she died. Oh well, maybe next year.
