I love love animals but to me there is nothing like mans best friend. I grew up with Collies and then when we got married and I wanted to get a puppy, we had gone to the pet store and there was this so adorable little collie and I said to the owner and my dh I want her she is so tiny, but when she grows she will be beautiful. The owner tells me that this is not a Collie but a Shetland Sheepdog aka A Mini Sheltie. Omg anyway or course we got her right away. She was so tiny, so timid, so sweet and looked like a baby dear. We named her Bambi. We have the priviledge of having the love of Bambi for 14 years. Since then we have had many more shelties and right now we have 3 Sunshine the mom, Simba the Dad and their daughter Sunny..They are so beautiful. So kindly share ... Peace.. CAtherine
