I got Podrick for my daughter in her second year of college. She went off to the dorm and Podrick came home to live with me, Bobby and Angel. My ex hated the idea and part of me got him to piss her off, it worked. Podrick is a sheltie, who never stopped growing and is about 2 times the size of other shelties. He's shy with strangers and stays close to me these days. He's a good boy who likes to 'talk', chase balls and eat when he can.
