Let's have a Mishmash Monday!!!

Grateful

Rosie here.

I just wanted to thank all of you for voting for my card in the contest which I posted about few weeks ago. Unfortunately, I didn't win. But I did get 393 votes which is far larger than I would ever have expected!

The winner was well deserved. His card was beautiful and being a world renowned breeder, it was to his advantage as he got 1000+ votes!! I don't think I will ever get close to that!

A big thank you to you all for helping me get almost 400 votes!!

Pillars of Strength - A Special Day for K

I was sent an email from Phyllis, Khyra's mom about having a special day for K and KB in Colorado.
KB's heart dog, K was recently diagnosed with cancer and is going through chemotherapy. I hope that this BlogHop will continue to keep them strong and extend K's time with all of us.

Today is a special day. Not only is it Valentine's Day but it was also the day my beloved dog, Hana left us. I began this blog in December 2009, right after Eva's birth and since then if you were a follower from the beginning, you would have seen Eva grow, along with her mother Hana and grandma Laura, both of whom are now angels at the bridge.

Therefore, we would like to send our love and well-wishes to all our blogger friends and their beloved furkids. Besides, our prayers and positive vibes are on the way to those who are poorly and fighting with some notorious illnesses too.

Right now, let us pray for K as she is having her next round of chemotherapy on Friday, February 17.


Dear  KB,

Here is a card for you and K from Rosie. You might have to click on the picture to enlarge it as it's a bit small here.

A doggy day out

Today we went to an event hosted by our local shelter.
The highlight of the day was a doggy play pen outside where the dogs could go off-leash and socialise with the supervision of two trainers.

First the big dogs had their time in pen. 

The huskies all knew each other very well.

Then the small dogs got their turn. Unfortunately, there was no one of Eva's size.

They were either smaller

Or bigger

But then, look who we met!

Our friend, Hero!

Eva wasn't too pleased with Hero sniffing her.

But then, she had to survive with this all the time.

(with different little dogs)

We tried to get Hero and Eva to have a picture together, but as you can see, it wasn't very successful :)

It was a good day out, and after having lunch with Hero's humans, we came back with a very tired sheltie girl. Although Eva is still wary of other dogs, I think that her boarding time has helped her get over a lot of her fear of others.

My Boarding Story

Missed me?

I was taken to the groomers' today because mom said that my fur was a bit messy and matted here and there. But it doesn't mean I wasn't well taken care of! Sheltie owners will know how hard it is to keep the fur on us looking pretty!

Well, let me tell you about my boarding. 

For the first few days, I was quite unsettled, following the woman around everywhere she went and not liking the others sniffing me. I went on my back many times with the submissive pose when the dogs became too scary.

But that all changed a week later.

I became Miss Noisy (as you all know, going cracker dog at fireworks and thunder) - even the other dogs got a bit annoyed and told me off, but you know me being so persistent with it, they gave up. Okay, so I did get a few scoldings from the woman but I gotta protect them, you know!

And I started playing with the BIG guys and getting them to chase me. Oh, what fun we had!! 

Oh, and guess what! Since then, I've never gone belly up with my submissive pose ever again!

So, all in all, guess what. I did NOT want to go home when my humans came and picked me up!
