On occasion Katie gets interested in what I’m doing on the laptop.  I don’t know what it is, maybe the clicking of the keys, my concentration or more likely the sound of dogs barking on bits of video I watch.  Who knows how a Sheltie mind works.

Tonight I was watching a six minute video on a Sheltie rescue site out of Utah.  Many of you follow the SheltieTales blog, but some of you probably don’t.  If you have time, go check it out at http://sheltietales.com;  they currently have about 20 Shelties living in their house and they do amazing things.  Anyway this video clip is some of the dogs hanging around outside.  As a Sheltie owner myself I can’t imagine having that many!  Multiply Katie by 20…that would be crazy!  The dog in the video with the bandaged leg had surgery today to remove his leg.  He was found wandering after being hit by a car and the leg was ruined.  He seems to be so happy in the video, safe and having fun with other dogs.  Such a cutie!

Anyway, I was watching this video with the sound off so Katie wouldn’t wake up.  But she must have noticed that there were SHELTIES on the video because by the time it was over she was on my lap watching intently.  I know she recognizes others of her kind when we travel to classes or other events, but I can’t tell if she understood there were Shelties in this video.  Maybe she was just attracted by the movement.  I don’t know.

But it was fun to watch her watch them.  Next time maybe I’ll turn on the sound for her!  She’s gone back to sleep now.  I guess the fun is over.
