Katie here. Hey! Bet you’ve been wondering what I’ve been doing lately – right? What? You’ve been busy with all the craziness going around, the virus, the election, the weather?
I’m not on your radar?
Huh.
I think mama’s been slipping. I hired her to be my agent, my marketing advisor, and my general manager, but maybe that’s too much for her, what with her being elderly and all.
I might have to reevaluate her contribution to my franchise.
I guess I’ll have to tell you about an adventure I had last weekend myself. I can’t believe it’s already a week ago and mama hasn’t put it up on my her blog.
You might remember that last year I got to meet aother sheltie-girl, Abby. We met her and her mom down in Ann Arbor and walked in the Arboretum. We said we’d get together again, but you know how time flies, and here it is a year later and we still hadn’t gotten back together.
So I told mom she better get to getting and arrange another walk date with my friend. And you know what? She listened to me and the next thing I know I’m in the car and the ride is much too long for us to be going to my usual parks.
I got kinda nervous, but figured I’d trust mama this time, and I was happy I did. Cause we got out of the car at a beautiful little park in Ann Arbor, and there was Abby and her mom!
Both of us are a year older now and we don’t go on real long walks any more, but this little park was perfect, with lots of places for the moms to sit and talk while we rested.
Well, sometimes we rested, sometimes we asked how long the moms were going to sit around.
Abby and I were OK with posing for the moms as long as we were maintaining our social distancing. It’s really not that hard, neither one of us understands why people are having such a hard time with this concept.
Anyway, it was really good to see Abby and her mom. We decided we might try to get together again before the weather gets too bad. But knowing mama, that will probably be next spring!
Abby. She’s so beautiful, she still reminds me of a regal queen. Queen Abby and Princess Katie. We were quite a beautiful sight, as we were told by numerous people out there in the park.
People are pretty good at spotting royalty, even when we leave our tiaras at home.
Signing off for now,
Park Princess Katie

Katie! It is good to hear from you. Your mama kind of teased us earlier this week by showing us photos of your footprints. Footprints?! Yup. That’s what I said. Not the same as the real princess. Abby is such pretty girl. You and she definitely added beauty to the park–and royalty!

I wish there were a “Love” button for this post as I surely loved seeing these two beautiful Shelties together. Actually made me feel a little teary eyed as I thought about my dear Liam. Wish I could have been there with you two and the dogs.

Aw, this is just too sweet for words! Princess Katie, I’m thrilled you got to meet up again with Queen Abby — no wonder people in the park recognized they were in the presence of royalty! I’m just sorry my Dallas didn’t live long enough to get together with you two — he’d have had a blast!

Hi Miss Carol! I’m a shetland sheepdog, or sheltie for short. I’m about 14 inches tall and 20 pounds but we come in a lot of different colors, sizes and weights. I personally think I’m the perfect dog. Mama might disagree some of the time. Ahem…
