To Build a Sheltie…

Posted by Kelly on Sep 17, 2006.

To build a sheltie you need…

• LOTS of fur
• a bark (preferably with an owner operated on/off switch)
• one loving soul
• one happily wagging tail
• a cup of undying loyalty
• one keen, intelligent mind
• a spoonful of unwavering eagerness to please
• optional: lots of ear glue
• one QAX (quizzical attitude excellent)
• an ‘innocent halo’ (for use when the Sheltie is doing something it shouldn’t and gets caught)
• a sprinkling of a sense of humor
• a pinch of excellent hearing
• a pound of unbounding energy
• one famous grin
• a dose of the sillies
• a coiled spring, preferably 4
• one, long wet nose to nuzzle your face
• 4 dancing feet
• a dash of mischief
• a dollop of twinkle in the eye
• a drop of true forgiveness
• one fuzzy belly button
• keen eyesight: that allows Shelties to see small, furry, moving objects up to 1/4 mile away
• and finally, a use for all the discarded parts – build a papillon!
