12 Years of Shelby and counting...


We have had our little wire-haired fox terrier, Shelby, for 12 years now. She has gone from being an extremely rowdy dog to becoming an old woman doggie. She has aches, warts, bad eyes and likes to be carried up the stairs, but she still has a lot of spice left in her. After living for 10 years in California, her whole life up to that time, she made the move to Colorado with us, with it's snow and wildlife all about. She is a real little trooper, after all, going pottie during a blizzard can be quite startling! There is nothing like having her sit next to you on the couch after a long day. She has a way of releasing all the stresses of your day with her long sighs. So, here is a big shout out to our wonderful little dog Shelby at 12 years and counting. P.S. I added a little video of her sighing,(below)to help de-stress your day.It comes right at the end...so you have to wait for it! (Mute the page music to get the full effect) :)

You're so cute Susan! Only someone who also is the owner of a dog can fully appreciate this! Cute Shelby!

That is a sweet little tribute to Shelby and her cuddly-ness.
You might like her sniffs and sighs the most, but we like her ears and feet...
