Arrival Story:
Shelby was given to me by an ex-b at 3 months to terrorize my so-called "fru-fru" dogs (Cleo, my American Eskimo and Miko, a toy poodle, both now at rainbrow bridge). Of course, Shelby turned out to be the most fru-fru dog you could ever meet. Soooo laid back, easy going and loves everyone she comes into contact with, children, dogs, cats and she even liked her former roommate, Bobo, the hamster. Shelby has travelled with me through several states and all over California. She's a camper, swimmer, hiker, runner, and just loves to lead us through trails when on hikes. She loves staying at B&Bs, especially in the wine country, although she doesn't like wine. Her preference is Guinness beer.
