Sheltie is short for Shetland Sheepdog, a herding breed that originates from the Shetland Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. / “What a cute miniature Collie!” “Look at the little Lassie!” “Is that a toy Collie?” / Every owner of a Shetland Sheepdog has heard and responded to countless comments such as these, but although Shelties bear a striking resemblance to Collies, they are a totally separate breed with differences in structure and temperament. And they are not a toy. The standard for Shelties states that they should measure between 13” and 16” at the shoulder. Most fall into the upper half of this range. The old guy in this photograph is our own Sheltie. His name in Strolchi, a German name which means “Little Tramp”. He was the smallest among his siblings and is one of the more rare Shelties which measure only 13” at the shoulder. We got him almost 14 years ago when he was 10 weeks old. Strolchi was not bred in a puppy mill but by an experienced, knowledgeable, European Shetland Sheepdog breeder, so his loyal, alert, enthusiastic, and charming personality is undisturbed. His luxurious coat as well as his sweet expression are only a few of his hallmarks, but we never bugged him with coaxing his ears into the correct carriage. He, as all Shelties, is happiest when the whole family is together in one room, enjoying each other’s company. In the Sheltie’s mind, the family is its flock, and a family spread throughout the house can lead to a very restless, pacing Sheltie. He lives to please and spreads his love, and when he turns on the sheltie cuteness it is impossible to resist him. / We love him with all our heart. Set of Two / Border Collie / (from the Herding Dogs Collection) / Featured in Paws n Claws 30.04.09 / / I LOVE YOU Card / / / COME BACK SOON Card /

Boxers are an incredibly graceful and very independent breed, very willing to work, but unwilling to be ordered around. Friedrun Stockmann, a German breeder whose work with boxers helped to make the breed what it is today, described the Boxer as “a gentleman amongst dogs with short coats. He not only wants the best food, he wants to be handled in a civilized manner, too.” The Boxer is not, and was never meant to be, an “attack dog”. However, lack of aggression does not equal lack of protection. Boxers are natural guard dogs, and the first breed ever to be used as Service Dogs in the US. They partner people who are blind, deaf, lame, in wheelchairs, etc. Not one of them has ever been successfully mugged. Not one of them has had their home successfully broken into when their Boxer Service Dog has been present. These dogs know when things aren’t right and they will act accordingly. A typical Boxer is a gentle creature without aggressive tendencies and a one-dog home-entertainment center. He is a quick learner, though he is just as quick to unlearn any task for which he does not see a reason. He is easy-care, intelligent, athletic, and faithful; a trustworthy pet for an active family … As Matthew Cowley said in his article ‘Canine Clowns’: A boxer is “a laugh a minute, lives life to the fullest, a maximum velocity version of canine slapstick.” What more could an dog lover ask for?

Here are Pixie, the black Cane Corso, and Tucker, the Beagle. The size difference may prevented other dogs from becoming friends; however, these two are playful pals. The dogs chase each other around, or Pixie (the Cane Corso) lies on the ground and lets Tucker (the Beagle) pretend to be dominant as the little dog jumps on her and chews her ears. They eat together and, when they sleep, Tucker lies against the big black dog to stay warm. The two dogs apparently draw comfort from each other. The bond that dogs can establish with other dogs and species is often dramatic and poignant. This is consistent with the idea that, although dogs are happiest when they are in a social situation, the species that they are interacting with is less important than the quality of the interactions.

Canadian Forest ... The woods are lovely, dark, and deep
by Christine Till @ CT-GraphicsUS$6.65–US$152.00
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, / But I have promises to keep, / And miles to go before I sleep, / And miles to go before I sleep. / Robert Frost – 1923 – “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” / This poem was also used in the film “Telefon” (1977) as a code phrase to activate sleeper agents / These last lines of Robert Frost’s poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” describe my own feelings when I see the deep Canadian forests in British Columbia. I think of times when I was a child and believed that magic could be found behind every trunk, in every shadow, under every bit of moss; of times in the woods, when I would just stand there in awe, listening to the stillness. Each moment was so precious … Then I ‘hear the clock ticking’ and I move back into the noise … / “I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep.” / / / / Des Waldes Dunkel zieht mich an, / doch muss zu meinem Wort ich stehn … / und Meilen gehen, / bevor ich schlafen kann. / / Example: Mounted Print /

Nine Mile Canyon, Utah - one of America's most endangered places
by Christine Till @ CT-GraphicsUS$6.65–US$152.00
Utah has been blessed with a diversity of unusual rock formations and canyons unequalled anywhere in the world. One of them, a gorgeous canyon named Nine Mile Canyon, located 20 miles southeast of Price, UT is nicknamed “the world’s longest art gallery,” famous for its thousands of ancient images or petroglyphs that go back in time to the mysterious disappearance of a Native American culture. Nine Mile Canyon is approximately five times longer than its name indicates and full of cliffs, unique tilted rocks and vegetation, old homesteads, working ranches, prehistoric Fremont Indian ruins, petroglyphs, pictographs, ancient Indian writings, and a lot of beautiful scenery, in addition to the most spectacular largest concentration of ancient Indian rock art in North America. It is a destination for archeologists from all over the world and for tourists alike. All you need is a love for beautiful scenery and invigorating outdoor activity to enjoy this remote, hostile, unblemished and rough southern Utah wilderness. At the same time Nine Mile Canyon is an outdoor museum that is being destroyed. You can still find standing rock art towers from thousands of years ago that withstood the test of time, but really aren’t going to withstand the pressures of natural gas development. Jim Lindsay, the guide at Utah’s Natural History Museum points out that “we only have maybe 15, 20 years before they could be so damaged that it would be difficult to see any of them. The public debate over the extraction of natural gas in the middle of a historic landmark is expected to continue for years to come.” Nine Mile Canyon / / / Example: Mounted Print /

Monster trucks are one of God’s personal gifts to the United States. While they garner more than their fair share of negative attention, any self respecting gearhead has to agree that the mechanical awe inspired by one of these creations is tremendous. Before anyone out there rolls their eyes and reaches for the downvote button, let’s put things into perspective first: Monster trucks weigh three times as much as your car, stand 12 feet tall, push about 1500 horsepower and can literally crush you in a 0 to 60 race. They are 10,000++ pound flying chunks of steel, can run up and over most man-made barriers and are equipped with remote shut-off switches to help prevent an accident if the driver loses control at any time. Maintaining the $150,000 to $250,000 truck quickly adds up to cost more than the truck itself. However, this does not stop monster truck drivers from lending or giving parts to fix a competitor’s truck even when they are slated to go head to head in the next round. It is the friendliest professional motorsport I have ever heard of. / / Monster Truck Rally Del Mar Fairgrounds, CA 2008 / Freestyle / / / Monster Truck Poster /

Garden of the Gods in Colorado is a 1300-acre rock garden composed of spectacular red sandstone formations, sculpted by rain and wind over millions of years, whose appearance changes with and is enhanced by the sun’s movement throughout the day. Coming here puts you in your place. You start to believe in Santa Claus, Leprechauns and Unicorns because it is almost impossible to see all these contorted, twisting, brightly colored rocks and not think of some mystical spirit in the air. What a spectacular natural display; like some beautiful and mythological setting full of grandeur and color! If you like nature – and even if you don’t – this gorgeously unexpected mix of green shrubbery and almost desert will knock your socks off with red monolithic rocks that shoot up toward the sky and winding paths amongst their underbrush. If you have the time, come during different times of the day to observe the effect of the sunlight on the rocks. Garden of the Gods has it all from beautiful, majestic scenery to fantastic views of Colorado Springs. At only 1.5 hours from Denver, CO there’s no reason not to drive down to this awe-inspiring natural wonder to enjoy its picturesque sunrises and sunsets or a night under the stars. Garden of the Gods is a juxtaposition of the balance of nature and man throughout the year. The name of this place says it all. / / Entrance to Garden Of The Gods / / / High-gloss Mounted Print / / / Please note: RedBubble automatically re-sharpens and adds contrast to uploaded images for web display.
