That makes me so sad! We had a Sheltie pup that climbed the fence and got run over a few years ago. I really cried over that pup. We now have another Sheltie that is 9 mo old. I think they are the smartest, sweetest dogs there are! However, she knows where she can and can't go and her crate is where she goes when she is afraid. The bathroom is a no-no except when she gets her "spa" treatment which she loves!
