2 Beautiful Blue Merles....

Now here are two tired Blue Merle Shelties who have been running and playing for a while. This is Blue Belle's boyfriend Jagger. Jagger is almost 1 year younger than Blue Belle.

A friend of mine at work had a neighbor who had been given this cute puppy as a gift. She didn't know anything about Shelties and was about to call Sheltie rescue because she works a lot and the dog requires a lot of exercise; more so than what she could provide him. She had to keep him in a kennel most of the day and just felt this was no life for a beautiful dog to live.

My friend told me about him because she knew that I had a sheltie and because of this, I had more experience with this breed.

My husband has some friends that live close by and they were literally in love with Blue Belle. They were more than willing to pay us what every price we named for our pretty princess.

Once I had found out about the dog needing a new home, my husband told this couple about Jagger. He was just 1 year old and was at the age where most people will generally get rid of a dog. Dogs tend to go through kind of a rebellious teen age phase at one year old where they are just trying to find their place in the pack. They will challenge members of the family to find out who they can dominate or who to get by with, much like a teenager will try to find their limits.

The couple who adopted Jagger couldn't be more different but the important thing is, is that they are completely in love with each other. She has a disorder in her bones which limits her mobility to a wheelchair but she does have one of those motor powered wheel chairs which gets her around quite well. The dog now has a purpose and that is serving as her service dog. He works well with her in her motor powered wheel chair. While she is around 3 foot 8, he stands about 6 foot 3 and had once been in a severe accident in which most of his body was badly burned. The two together are a miracle couple and were quite happy to place Jagger in their home at Christmas time.

Here they are running and playing together. We don't get together often enough, but the two run for practically hours together.
