Harley
is our Shetland Sheepdog. He is our special little
boy. Harley is so smart and well behaved - although he is a bit greedy
with his toys and cookies!! He loves to play Frisbee and with his
basketball in the backyard. He also loves his two sisters who are also
Shelties - Skye and Sonya. He also gets along great with our two kitties!
I love all of my dogs but this little guy earns the top spot in my
heart. He is so loving and gets so excited to see my husband & I when
we come home. He really makes everyone feel special and loved. He is
my little "Prince".
Harley is such a special sheltie. He is now 2 1/2 years old and we got
him when he was eight weeks old. I had never owned a dog before and when my
husband and I brought him home, I was scared to death!! He spent his
puppy days at my mom and dad's house (pappy and grammy to him) since my
dad is retired, he was able to watch Harley during those stressful and
important first few months while my husband and I both worked. He
turned out to be the most wonderful pet anyone could ask for. Harley
recently learned how to "sing" on command - it's more howling than
singing, but regardless, it's music to our ears. He does have a strong
herding instinct. When I was out with my brother when he was looking for
a golden retriever puppy, Harley came along as well and managed to herd
all ten of the puppies against their owner's couch. He loves to go for
rides in the car, especially during the summer months when he can ride
in the car with the top down and the wind blowing through his fur!
He has two sisters - a two year old blue merle named Skye (she is very hyper
and crazy) and a six year old tri-color named Sonya (a former Champion show dog -
a bit of a snob, yet so adorable that she gets away with it) They are
both shelties as well. We just love the breed. They are so smart and
very easy to train. Harley is just so special though, since his sisters
both love to chew and steal things around the house, Harley is a
complete angel and is content playing with his toys (a Harley Davidson
ball, of course) and his rawhides. He loves to be outside and catch
frisbee with his Daddy. My husband and I cannot sit together on the
couch without Harley climbing on us and settling in between us - he is
very jealous and loves to have all the attention. He also shares the
house with his two feline siblings, Cranky and Donzi, with whom he gets
along great with. I cannot imagine not having this special boy in our
lives and I cherish all the time that he has to be with us.
