    Oh, and oreo stands on the back of the couch staring at us when we eat. It's like being watched by a vulture.

    Blueberry will stand over (or directly behind) Finnie when he has a chew treat she thinks should be hers…bought a collagen treat for Piper but he didn’t care for it. Offered it to Blueberry and nope…gave it to Finnie and suddenly Blueberry thought it should be hers.
    Ordered a lick bowl for Finnie that arrived yesterday (he will spend 10 minutes after supper going from bowl to bowl) and Blueberry pushed him out of it twice yesterday…even with me standing close by! Everything theirs is hers:ROFLMAO:

    My pups selectively know their names. Often when called they just raise their head and then go back to snoozing whatever. When I say their names and the word treat they come running so I guess they both think their name is "treat". Also, my female is a non stop groomer, any exposed skin is liable to be groomed and groomed ,the male not so much. I do allow her to groom me tho, she traps my arm beneath her paw and away she goes-- I know it is her equivalent to me petting her and as we all know there is nothing bad in a Sheltie mouth, they are sterile-- aren't they??

    Benson has too many quirks to count. Fillion not so much, but one that makes me crack up is he will NOT stay in the room with me when I sneeze! He can be dead asleep and comfortable in his bed and if I sneeze, he will get up and leave the room LOL My favorites of Benny's is how he "silent talks" to me or shakes his head at his cow's ear (only cow's ears no other toys).

    When my husband sneezes Oberon barks at him. When I sneeze Oberon barks at the cat.

    I’d say the cat is lower on the totem pole than you are…I’d even hazard a guess to say you’re the top dog!
    Too funny though!:ROFLMAO:

    I just count my blessings every time this topic comes up- no one barks when I open or close the blinds, or when I answer the phone or the microwave beeps or I put the garbage out........
    they just all try to get petted at the same time and I only have 2 hands for 4 shelties.................
