Hi from Shaggys Mom Jen!
This is my first week with him, and in order to control behaviors, per the advice of a training specialist, I'm keeping him by my side 24/7. Today we're having a really good day! It's ironic to me how everyone "warns" of all the time it takes to brush and groom an OES. The first day we got him, we took him to Petsmart for the FULL treatment, so he was brushed there. Last night I did my first brushing with him, and now I feel like I want to brush him every day. It's so relaxing for the both of us. Really good bonding time! I'll be posting pictures as soon as I can get this camera developed we bought to take pictures of the house buying proceedings. Our digital cam is on the fritz. Thanks for all the warm welcomes already! |

| Hi Jen and Erica
(Will Erica be joining us too?) Enjoy your new Shaggy bundle of fur!  |
| Welcome from Central Florida. I will be looking forward to your stories and pics about Shaggy. I have an OES Violet who is four years old and an Aussie Shepherd, China who is 3 yrs old, and we can't forget Pearl our cat who is 12 yrs old. Shaggy will bring a lot of love and happiness into your home. Enjoy your new sheepie. |
| Welcome from Barney and Maggie in St. Louis. |
| Welcome! |
| Welcome from Alaska!
I really like the name Moses....and "Mo" is a cute nickname 
I know what you mean about the brushing. We shave ours down for summer, and I'm looking forward to winter when I spend more time on grooming. It IS relaxing, as well as a great bonding time with your dog! |
| WELCOME! |
| Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I look forward to posting pics and fun antics! Erica's not much of an internet junkie, so she probably won't be chiming in, but hello and thanks for the welcome from ALL of us! |
| Welcome to the pack! |
| Welcome from Minnesota! It sounds like you are having a good time with your Shaggy/Mo. |
G'day Jen and Erica and the fur ball, sending a big welcome from the land downunder. 
You know we all need piccys, especially of the fur kids, to satisfy our sheepie addictions.
WELCOME |
| welcome from fla you will learn a bunch here ..can't wait to see pics |
| I PROMISE there will be pics soon! Right now I'm just trying to recouperate from the move. I've snapped a few, we just need to get them developed, and my partner is working her tail off at her job, and trying to get our old apartment cleared out. Cross my heart and hope to fly.. you'll get pics! |
| Welcome from Me Maizie & Hattie from the UK. |
Has anyone suggested pics?
 |
| I'll have to snap a pic of Shaggy and his OTHER mom.. this one's not very camera friendly. I think the camera adds 70 pounds. haha
I'll work on it.. I promise! Today is just a really busy work day.. the joys of having a work from home job! |
| Welcome to the forum.
Tell us more about Shaggy. How old is he? Did you adopt him from a rescue? |
He is 6 months old. I bought him from a lady who posted an ad on Craigslist ironically RIGHT as I was SCOURING the internet to find an OES. She bought him as a new pup from a breeder, and then discovered her daughter was allergic (things you should probably look into before spending that much money on a dog). So he was outside ALL summer. 
She's begging that if things don't work out I give him back to her and not to someone else. Like heck! He's never going to be an outside dog again! I've done my homework! OES's hate that! That's about it! |
