Shanna

 

12/23/11:  I found this great disguise so no one will know who I am.  When people come to meet the collies I will just put on this wig so they will think I am a poodle or maybe Shirley Temple.  On the good ship lollipop, Its a night trip into bed you hop, And dream away, On the good ship lollipop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11/24/11:  Finally getting a minute on the computer to let you know how I am doing.  After reading my story you know I have wormed my way into Miss Jean’s room and also her bed.  Now I am going to let you in on a secret and please don’t tell.  I have no intention of going anywhere and I hide in the bushes when people come to adopt.  With so many here right now she usually forgets to look for me.  It would have to be some really special folks for me to want to leave this good life.  I will keep you posted on the progress here when I can get computer time.  PS:  I can see just fine and thought the glasses would make me look smarter.

 

 

 

 

 

9/4/11:  Miss Jean has six dogs of her own that sleep in her room.  However I have now joined the group and I just can’t ell you how much I love this big bed.  Her other dogs aren’t very happy about me planting myself on a pillow and taking their spot.  If you have one of these beds and wouldn’t mind sharing it with a snuggle bunny, I’m your girl.  By the way I have never had an accident in the house and will let you know when I need to go out.  Now Tallulah the westie and I have become good friends and we love chasing each other around the yard.  Here is a short movie of the two of us playing.  http://youtu.be/Co4dQhs3GEk 

8/19/11:  Uh, wait a minute folks.  I am rethinking my position about not coming in the house since I found this great bed.  Do all humans have these in their houses and if they do I would like that very much.  Now that I think about it the house is so much cooler and I never knew it could be so great having spent my entire life outside.  I have no problem with housetraining and know where that is to be done.  I love all humans and children that come to visit.  I am also a very good watch dog and will let you know when a stranger comes around.  My coat was shaved before coming into the rescue but it will grow back soon enough. 

7/30/11:  Pleased to meet you and my name is Shanna.  I am about seven years old and one sweet girl.  Some folks found me as a stray and gave me this really cool haircut that allows everyone to see my beautiful collar.  Now although I have very good house manners I am pretty much a country girl and prefer to be outdoors.  I like to come in the house to eat and take a nap to get out of the heat but I prefer to sleep outside.  It doesn’t matter if it is raining or thunder storming I’m just an outdoor kind of girl.

Princess & Jo Jo (Adopted)

11/19/11:  We have been together all our lives for nine years.  Our family got divorced and seems no one wanted the collies.  They moved off and left us in a dog lot where we have always been.  Their parents came to feed the us and contacted the shelter who contacted rescue.  We received vaccinations and thank goodness the heartworm test were negative. 

11/20/11:  Can you believe it, when Irene heard about us she called immediately to say we could have a home with her.  We are going to stay together and she came to pick us up today.  We put on our fancy new car harness and headed off.  This is going to be a real home where there is love and care.  How could we ever thank the people that made this possible for the two of us, I just don’t know.
