We are so excited.  We are adding a beautiful sable girl to our pack.  She is a lovely Sheltie and has already won her Championship titles in both UKC and Internationsl.   She is going to be a great asset to our area as she brings with her a lovely pedigree.  We can't wait to see what she produces.  First, though we have to get her here.  Of course our lovely Cherri lives in Oklahoma.  They never have severe winters, at least not until I want to ship a dog out of that area.  We are here waiting for a call from her breeder letting us know she is on the plane.  I so hope this happens this week.  We have already been waiting about 3 weeks. 

Cherri comes to us on the heels of the great loss of our blue merle Sheltie, Delta.  She is not a replacement in that for me,  Delta was irreplaceable.  However we do dreadfully miss having a Sheltie around the house and finding her was a huge blessing we could not pass up.  I think with her totally different looks and personality she will find her own place in our hearts and home. 

Wow, I'll  write back when we get our sweet girl.

In the meantime our exercise pen has been mostly reconstructed and it is so nice to have dry dogs again.  The Collies have spent the winter with free run of the yard and both they and the yard are a wreck.  Now they get to hang out in their coveredplay area and still have a section that is open for sunny days.  What a blessing to have a handy husband and good friends.

All that is  left is for some dividers to be put up in the exercise yard and we will be set to go.
