Oggie, at 48 pounds, is the biggest Sheltie I’ve ever seen. He’s named after Augie Doggie (with, obviously, a slightly different spelling) from the old Hanna-Barbara cartoon, which I now vaguely remember from my misspent youth.
Ran into him again yesterday evening, and realized I hadn’t posted these pictures yet, so I had to immediately fix this terrible oversight.
Oggie is definitely a big communicator. Both times I ran into him, he did a lot of barking. Just to let me know he was there.
First time I saw him, I couldn’t tell if he was a Sheltie or a collie. That’s how big he is.
Aww. I ought to collect all the pictures of dogs gazing lovingly up at mom/dad and make a dog-a-day calendar out of them or something.
