Keltiedog, the Dog of the Day
Name: Keltiedog
Age: Eleven months old
Gender: Female Breed: Jack Russell, Shetland Sheepdog
Home: Warwickshire, United Kingdom
 
   We decided in March that we would like to have a dog, so decided to get one from a re-homing center. The day we decided to go they had two pups in, brother and sister, Morris and Dorris. We took little Dorris home, she was quieter than her brother, who dominated her but very sweet and fluffy. She has been with us for nine months and has kept us on our toes. We decided to rename her 'Keltie' as she was originally from Ireland (the Celtic connection) and she is half Sheltie. (She's a Jack Russell, sheltie cross with a bit of corgi for good measure!) Her quiet, gentle nature has gone and been replaced with a very comical, cheeky, energetic and lovable dog, who has chewed her way through more pieces of furniture than we care to remember!! She likes nothing more than chasing rabbits across the fields (only managed to catch one... poor bunny! R.I.P). She loves going to sit at the school gates so that she can maximize her daily dose of fussing. This will be her first Christmas with us and she is getting into the spirit of the season as you can see in the picture. Although she wasn't any help whilst putting up the decorations, she kept on wanting to eat them. This picture was for our Christmas card, but has she been naughty or nice??
