We were sorting out some boxes that have been packed away for a very long time. In one of the boxes I found the “baby book” of Bonnie, our previous sheltie who died at 15 years February of 2007. I can’t resist showing you some pictures of her, and compare them to similar pictures of Katie.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Bonnie, investigating things when she was just a few months old. Compare it to the picture of Katie, also a few months old and I can hardly tell them apart!
And here’s the infamous, hang out in the dandelion field photo of each of them:
And a couple of our favorite winter pictures. I think Bonnie was just a year old in this photo, Katie is about the same age.
I have been very blessed to have lived with three shelties in my lifetime, the first being Daisy who came with my husband when we got married. They have all been a joy!

It was great to have a little peek at one of your old dogs and it was very funny that you have pictures of them in almost the same situation – Thanks :o)

We can only tell the difference by the ears. Katie has Essex ears, while Bonnie had Deacon ears. We would love to see some pictures of Daisy, purrty purrty please.
