Here is my fluffer pup, Jessie, who is driving me nuts today.

[ScreamingMeemie]

See all the muddy pawprints on the back door? In,out,in,out,in,out...hurl self at door when no one comes right away...in,out,in,out...

[Richardo]

1. Puppy dawg!!

Beauty, too. :loveya: :thumbsup:

I could not stay mad at THAT face. Must be an evolutionary defense mechanism...

[DarkPhenyx]

3. It's the same defense mechanism babies have.

It's darn lucky they have it too or I think my god-daughter would be dead 10 times over.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. She knows I'm wrapped.

She is also a rabid smiler, which gets me to take her for walks all the time.

[DarkPhenyx]

2. Oooooooooooooooo! A Sheltie!

Love these dogs. I have one as well. They are the best animals I ahve ever shared house with. We need more dog threads on this board, IMHO.

Calling him a "fluffer pup" made my head go places I don't think you intended it too though. :evilgrin:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Definitely not intended. Whoops!

;)

[piece sine]

59. no worries...

I call my friend's border collie "fluffer-nutter" all the time.

BTW: your collie is SPECTACULAR!

[VelmaD]

24. You have a dirty mind...

:spank:

I knew there was a reason I liked you. :evilgrin:

[MuseRider]

4. What a beauty!

You must spend hours grooming her! We are so lazy and our dogs run through the burs when swimming in the pond so every summer we have our Golden shaved. She loves it and she doesn't look so neglected. Beautiful doggie Jessie is.

[ScreamingMeemie]

15. Hours and hours. Her best friend is a corgi that is much shorter

than her. When they play he goes after her ruff and just slobbers it. Somehow, it is always after a bath. sigh.

[radwriter0555]

5. I keep old sheets and large rags, towels, inside the dog door to the

dog room AND inside the door to the kitchen to de-soggify all the pooches that come charging through the house, muddy feets flying!

What else can ya do? I have a basket set aside just for that purpose.

[radwriter0555]

9. She really, REALLY is a stunning beauty, I might add... just lovely..

nicest looking collie I've seen in a long while.

[bratcatinok]

6. Awww

Don't you love the way they look at you so innocently.

Kind of like, "Aw Mommm, what's wrong? Do you want to play with me? It's nice outside and I have this fun game we can play. I named the game the 'how many times do I have to bump up against it until it opens game'. Wanna play? I love you, Mom."

[ScreamingMeemie]

16. Yes, right now she is playing I am a blanket for Mommy's feet.

;)

[Faygo Kid]

Unconditional love - enjoy it.

C'mon, you wouldn't post this if you didn't love this kreetur. And a very pretty one, at that. (I kidded mine by calling them "horrible monsters" - normally, while giving them another treat. Looks like yours could use an extra one).

[DarkPhenyx]

10. Mine gets called "Monster Child" so often...

...she responds to it about as well as her normal name.

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Heehee. We call her "Jessica Lynn" when she is in trouble, even

though it's not her name. It just goes well. Kind of like when you call your kids. ;)

[XNASA]

25. Our cat's name is Kisa.

When she's in trouble, we call her Kisa Marie. 'Cause it rhymes with Lisa Marie, as in Presley.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. My friend, and fellow DU poster, has a corgi. When he is

in trouble they yell Sprocket Marie. I think it's a stitch. :)

[DarkPhenyx]

31. Good!

I'm not teh only person to give their pet a middle name. Mine has two actually.

[VelmaD]

20. Mine was "Knuckle Butt"...

I miss her. :-(

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. She's a treat beast, but only likes Pupperoni lean.

She won't eat the regular pupperoni. I guess she is watching her girlish figure. ;)

[hlthe2b]

7. Ahhh..

Well, it seems the training is going well... (he's got YOU trained! lol)

I really have a hard time ever getting mad at my dogs. They really are so darned cute and they know all the right buttons to push.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. and she's a pusher all right.

But I wouldn't trade her. :)

[XNASA]

8. Fluffer pup?

Um. Explain please?

Beautiful poochie, BTW.

[ScreamingMeemie]

19. I've just called her that since she was a puppy...

INNOCENTLY I might add...;)

[SiouxJ]

11. Aw, what a sweetie!!

thanks for posting him (her?). I'm having such a tough time not having a dog around. It's been a month now and I know I need to get another dog but I'm waiting until after my next week long business trip (next March). It's hard finding someone to take care of them when I'm gone. Well, it's hard because I don't trust anyone ;-) to give them the care they deserve. I wish I had your problems today - I really do!! :-)

[ScreamingMeemie]

21. Well the Grumpy's live in Michigan otherwise...

It is hard to trust people with one's dog. Like I would never allow my sister in law in a room alone with her. I caught her kicking her once. Grrrr.

[Westegg]

12. Jessie rocks!

Jessie's a beautiful dog. You should be proud. So should Jessie. Hey, muddy paws? I tell you what's worse---it's having two cats we rescued from abandonment in Central Park. That's not the "worse" part---Fred and Daisy are the greatest. The "worse" part is how they puke all over our rugs on a regular basis. (Hell, I should probaly be sending this to a cat-owner's site.) If anyone wants to know how to clean cat vomit off expensive rugs, give me a shout. I'm God's own expert on the subject, I can assure you.

[ScreamingMeemie]

22. Hahahaha. That's funny.

We use Out pet stain remover here.

[NightTrain]

27. What a beautiful collie!

You're quite lucky to have her, even if she *is* messing up your floor today. :hi:

[DarkPhenyx]

33. It's a Sheltie! Darnit!

:) Sorry, we sheltie lovers can get cranky about that.

<on edit>

Collies have longer, narrower, muzzles. Shelites are also between 2 - 3 times smaller than Collies.

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. Thanks...funny story told to me by Jessie's breeder...

They were at a show and people kept calling Jessie's mum a "miniature collie", she got so irritated she finally burst out,"Actually, those dogs you know as collies? Well they are really standard shelties" I thought that was hilarious.

[NightTrain]

37. Well, whatever her breed, she's a sweetheart!

And I still maintain that you're lucky to have her. :bounce:

[ScreamingMeemie]

40. Thanks.

She is one terrific puppy dog. Don't even need a leash to walk her except for the city laws. :(

[LuLu550]

28. Pretty pup!

n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Thanks

:)

[VOX]

29. What a beautiful, beautiful doggie! How can you stay mad at *that*?

These critters have us "wrapped," but would you trade this for anything?

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. I must confess I cannot stay mad... I usually ended up

squeezing the stuffing out of her, she's so loving.

:)...and she really does feel bad about hurling herself at the door...really...she does...

[SOteric]

30. Yes, but -

how could anyone possibly be cross with that sweet little puppy-face...?

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. Admitting that it is extremely difficult. She has this way of coming

up, putting her head in my lap and looking up at me with the doggy eyebrow thing going on...that pretty much absolves her of any wrong doing. ;)

[CatWoman]

32. Mrs. G -- she's BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!

What a gorgeous pooch :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

41. Thank you...she takes after her owner.

:evilgrin: ..okay..not really.

[Catshrink]

38. Awwwwww, pretty puppy.

What a little sweetie. How can you say no to such a beautiful baby?

Here's my Sam who insisted on my pillow last night -- all 25# of him!

[ScreamingMeemie]

42. He is way too cute. I love striped kitties...

Jessie is a constant bed hogger...:) I usually...okay always..give in.

[Catshrink]

49. Me, too. I just move over for him.

and he keeps inching his way closer and before I know it, I either have no pillow or am in a strange contortionist position. He is a love bug. I could use him as a pillow and he wouldn't mind a bit.

[Zomby Woof]

43. beautiful!

A face only a grandmother can love! :D

[ScreamingMeemie]

46. Thanks...

I think. ;)

[nuxvomica]

44. I could've guessed Sheltie without the picture

My Andy was always wanting "out" when "in" and "in" when "out." Took me a little while to realize that he didn't want "out" so much as he wanted us "out" together on some adventure, preferably chasing each other through the snow.
The was a school near where we lived with a large campus where we played the chasing game. All I had to do was say the word "school" and he'd go apeshit.

[ScreamingMeemie]

45. Yes this is the problem...she wants me out with her, throwing a

tennisball 9999998892 times. They do need to be the center of the universe. :)

[BlackVelvetElvis]

53. If I had a dog with eyes like that

she would be the center of the universe. What a beautiful dog.
Sucker!

[Fridays Child]

47. That pup can do NO wrong. Just look at the eyes. Pure goodness.

Those are Corgi prints on that door, no doubt about it.

[ScreamingMeemie]

54. Yes, her buddy helped make them.

They are funny to watch together. Their coloring is exactly the same, yet he is so much shorter than she. :)

[Rhiannon12866]

48. What a beautiful dog!!!

I LOVE shelties! I have "dogsat" three dogs of friends in this life and all just happened to be shelties. I know about the tennis ball habit! LOL! Bailey will chase it at least that many times, herself! About the time your arm is about to fall off and you just can't bear to throw it again, she'll nudge it closer and closer until you take the hint! And when you're about to let it go, she is so excited that she spins around in a circle! Shelties are great dogs, I agree!
:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

55. That's what Jessie does too. She will drop it at your feet and

stare at it...willing it to move. Then she'll look up and smile at me like,"Come on..ya know ya wanna throw it." :)

[Rhiannon12866]

60. Bailey is tireless and she's ten-years-old!

I think it's something they never outgrow. And their faces are so expressive. I know exactly what you mean...:-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

50. Aww shelties are GREAT dogs!

What a cutie!

[ScreamingMeemie]

56. Thank you nsma. She knows it too. The little bugger.

;)

[Paul Hood]

51. She's a beauty

[Rhiannon12866]

52. Yes, she really is

And welcome to DU, Paul Hood! Glad to have another dog-lover among us!:toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

57. Thanks!

:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

58. Thank you all for indulging me in my obsession with my little

girl.

Jessie thanks you too. :)
