Sherman and Emmie

Last month I had the opportunity to sit for Sherman, the Terrier mix and Emmie the Siamese.  I have posted about Emmie before but this a first for Sherman as he usually stays elsewhere.  Sherman is a gentle and loving therapy dog for Intermountain Therapy Animals.  One of his quirks is he collects household items and stores them on and around his bed, including his leash for when it's time to go walking. 

Sherman the hoarder
 Sherman has a dog-friend neighbor, Cheyenne, who took the liberty of walking herself with us when we went on our daily walks.  Every time we'd pass her house she would inevitably emerge from behind the house and run along with us, periodically looking over her shoulder at us to make sure we were still following.  At first I thought she was a stray, but soon realized she knew the neighborhood well and would return to her home across the street upon finishing the walk, giving us a goodbye glance before romping back to her yard.  She appears to be a Smooth Coat Collie mix.

Emmie was her same Emmie self, resting and eating all the day long.
