Penny here.
We interrupt mom’s exciting (not) bird stories to show you a picture she just found on her laptop of my sister Bonnie. Bonnie was mom and dad’s sheltie before Katie. Obviously I never got to meet her, but I hear she was a very good girl.
Looks like mom was into yellow flowers decades ago!
Here’s Bonnie.
And here’s Katie.
And here’s me!
The yellow flower sisters!
PS: I hear today is International Sheltie Day, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate it than posting about my sisters!
Talk later, your historian pal,
Penny.

It’s interesting to see them all together like this. We also had a sheltie before Bonnie, named Daisy, who lived with my husband before I met him. She came with the marriage but only lived a year or so after we got married. She was a really good dog and I don’t have any pictures of her.

Probably. Bonnie was born in 1992 or so. She died in 2006. We had Daisy before that, when we got married in 1990, she lived until 1992. (or 91?) Without digital photography I have few to no pictures of the early girls.

Penny – you are the third beautiful Sheltie that Mom and Dad had. Let me wish you Happy International Sheltie Day. Did Mom and Dad do something special for you? I thought you and Lance looked alike, even though he IS a boy, but you, Bonnie and Katie all look very different.

Yes they were all 3 very different dogs, in personality and looks. We had Daisy before Bonnie, also a sheltie but I don’t think I have any pictures of her. She was my husband’s dog before we got married and she lived about a year after. She was such a good girl.

I didn’t know there was such a thing as International Sheltie Day, Miss Penny. Thank you for educating me. I’ll have to make myself a note so I won’t forget it next year. (Monk says I’m entitled to one mess-up, but no more!) Loved the pix of you and your two sisters, flanked in yellow!
