I arrived home yesterday evening, tired and with a terrible cold. Katie was excited to see me and disappointed when I went to bed early. Today she’s been bugging me all day, barking at my coughing and sneezing, always under my feet. She’s antsy to play and the tiny bit that I threw the ball didn’t seem to satisfy her pent up energy.
This evening as I was putting ornaments on the tree I thought that she had gotten tired of following me around because she wasn’t underfoot. Good girl I thought…you’ve settled back down! I guess being gone for 17 days caused me to have a brain freeze…because I forgot that a quiet Sheltie is almost always….into something BAD! 
She was soooooo busted! But I guess it doesn’t count if I laughed all the while I was cleaning up the shredded tissue. Now she’s tring to make up by being the Sheltie on guard. She thinks it gets her off the hook…I guess it does. Silly girl.
Ah…the classic sheltie, shred tissue trick. Welcome home.
Welcome home! Gosh, 17 days is a long time away from home – there’s no way mom could be away from me that long! I don’t blame Katie if she resorted to tissue shredding to get some more attention. I, however, have never shred a single tissue in my life!
Your Christmas tree is beautiful!
Wow, 17 days, that was a long time. Hope you feel better soon. Diana
I can see that your was welcoming home with snow confetti (ripped tissue)
Skye loves shredding tissues and toilet paper too. So funny.
Hope you get well soon.
