Conker is very careful with his watering can. :o)

Ahh, Conker, such a wonderful helper!! And I just love the pansies! What a neat combo!

~well done Conker~top marks!

Hi Gg and Arlene ~
I wish Conker would tell me his gardening secrets. Lol

What a clever doggie, and beautifully groomed

Hi Mageth ~
Thank you.
Truffle the puppy has pulled out some of Conker's hair. Lol.
A good thing Conker has plenty......

Lovely photo TT , we saw a pup like yours visiting our local GC.He was only 11 weeks old,couldn't believe how tiny he was.A black coat mostly with tan and white paws-reminded me of conker. He was helping his owner choose plant pots !!!

What a Fab Photo Of Beautiful Conker with his Pot Of Lovely Pansys&Primroses :) I see he`s got the Hang of his water can :)

Hi Aster and Jacque ~
I bet the Sheltie puppy made good choices with the plant pots.Lol.
Yes, Conker loves his watering can. :o)

I think Conker is a star. Such a wonderful companion and friend.

well Conker I know you like gardening ,time to show Truffle a few of your skills.Myself getting a bit rusty,still enjoying the odd bee chase (lol)
xxxPercy

Conker you are a clever boy , I love your pot of pansys they are so pretty , you are looking after them very well ..
You are being very patient with Truffle don,t let him pull to much of your lovely fur out , you are spoiling him :o)

Hello Percy,
Conker says he has started teaching Truffle a few gardening skills. Truffle is just about to start losing his puppy teeth, so not learning a lot right now. Lol.
Conker is far more patient with Truffle than I am ! xxx

What a beautiful boy. I can feel that soft, thick and shiny coat from here.

Thanks, Toto, Amy and Ginellie ~
I'm hoping Conker can grow new hair faster than Truffle can pull it out. Lol. :o)

Awwwww thats Brill, your hose will be redundant now TT.LoL ,

Hi Dee ~
Conker's little watering can doesn't hold very much ~
so that means lots of trips to the water butt ~
It's good exercise. Lol.

Brilliant photo TT............Conker is gorgeous

Great photo TT ...

Looking good Conker! Can you please come to my garden next...I could use a hand keeping up with the watering. Do you do weeds as well? :)

Clever Conker - I hope Truffle doesn't follow behind and undo all his hard work :)

Awww...love him. He looks so proud. Do you think he could come over here and help me water all the plants in the greenhouse at work????

Conker is ready to help out in everyone's gardens.
He'll do weeding for Janette, Milky and Tasteyg ~
and he'll herd the tortoises for Gee19. :o)

Gilli ~
Conker could come to your work with you at the Garden Centre.
He'll water the plants, then load customers' items into their cars, and bring you skin cream for your scratched hands !

A very good garden helper :o)
He has a lovely coat TT - beautiful colours. I like your rockery in the background too.

Thanks, Hywel.
Conker has worked hard on his gardening this spring.
He is teaching Truffle. Lol.

Soon you'll have two good helpers. :o)
( well maybe . lol )

Truffle is doing his best. Lol.

Good for him !
Rome wasn't built in a day. :o)

:o)

AHhhhh I bet Conkers a great gardener...lol hes made a lovely pot of pansies..........

What a lovely little helper..lol

Hi Holly ~
Conker has lots of his own garden tools. Lol.
Thanks, Teenyweeny :o)

Aw....lovely Conker ready to water that pretty pot of Pansies......:o) Now where is that little Truffle, up to no good I bet....LOL

Janey ~
You are getting to know my little family very well.
Truffle likes to chew pansy petals....
... they add extra taste to his salad. Lol.

Your garden looks lovely! The grass is so nice and green, the flowers look beautiful and the rocks add a great touch. But.....
I barely noticed any of it with that GORGEOUS Conker there..And he is still a good big bro despite losing some of his fur...lol...

TT..you have to check out that link...If I didn't have 2 dogs already, that little boy WOULD BE MINE!!! He is too sweet not to check out...

The little boy I am referring to is "davey"-the first dog in the second row...

Thanks NN ~
I'll check that out :o)

Oooh, I've just looked at Davey ~
so cute :o)
You should have him, NN :o)
Boyfriend for your lovely girls. Lol.

I would, but I'm afraid it would be too hard on Chummy..And Scrunchion might just scare him to death! But he is sooo sweet, like a little Chummy..

Yes, we have to be sensible and not have too many dogs....
however cute they are....
But he is surely a distant cousin of Chummy ? Lol.

great shot TT, hi conker your sooooooooooo cute,, the garden looks lovely TT

Thanks Sanbaz.
Conker loves his garden :o)

well he should because he has worked so hard,,keep up the good work conker :)

Sanbaz ~
maybe Conker could water your flowers when you go on holiday Lol.

Lovely photo TT, has he got any spare time?
Has he put on his summer coat?

Thanks DrBob :o)
Conker would be happy to help all GoY members with their gardens.
Typical Sheltie ~ he lives only to please everyone.... Lol.

I hope he's going to grow a bit more coat for the summer time.

Yes you have to be sensible...he...he....last year we had no Pusscats...now we have 3! Must be totally mad...but absolutely adore them, and Finn of course!!

Lol. Janey ~
Maybe Finn is wondering just how many pussycats is a complete quota in your household. :o)

I lv this thanks for sharing

Hi Lujean ~
Glad you found this pic :o)
Would you like Conker to help you with your garden ? Lol.

smashing photo tt.

Thank you, Seaburngirl :o)

oh lovely Conker, you are a clever boy! I love the pansies lovely colours TT

Hello Skilla ~
That's good to know you like this pic.
Conker likes pansies.
Truffle likes to eat pansies. Lol.

Hello TT,
Goodness!! Conker's coat seems such soft, and he is a beauty!!
Well done for the pansies Conker!
Truffle food is that way -------->
..... leave the pansies alone! LOL

Hello Aleyna ~
Conkers says thank you. :o)
Truffle has just lost his first puppy tooth this morning ..
He gave a little squeal and then I think he swallowed it..... :o(.
One less tooth to chew the pansies... Lol.

It will come out somehow... lol!!!

Carolina, my daughter, is amazed about the looks of Conkers, she read everything wrote here about his breed.
Conkers really looks like "Mutley" the collie her boyfriend lost last year.

Hello Carolina ~
Conker says a special hello to you.
Glad he brings back happy memories of boyfriend's collie :o)

.... I shall be looking out for Truffle's tooth. Lol.

thats brill aswell, put that to favourites.

Thanks Clarice ~
I can't keep up with you.... lol. :o)

You've got Conker well trained TT and he looks eager to help out with the watering....lol

Yes, Tina. You're right ~
Conker is very keen...
It's just a pity that he can't get very many litres of rain water in that little can. LOL.

well done for watering the Pansies conker your very clever aswell as beautiful.

Hi Zandra ~
Conker says hello and thank you :o)

If you do that watering well, Conker, you could get the job permanently!!

It's raining right now, so Conker has the day off. Lol.

My heart turns to mush every time I see a picture of Conker. As I work my way through this thread, I think the rest of GoY feel the same.
We seem to have part-interest in a neighborhood dog, I call him Vodka because he belongs to a Russian family up the highway. I don't think he speaks English. LOL My cats think I need to send him home...anybody know how to say "Go home!" in Russian? LOL

Hi Weeds ~
I'm trying to think of some Russian words for you.... Borzoi ?... that means Russian Woflhound. lol. :o)

I'll shout "Borzoi!" at him and see if he heads home. LOL

From Russia with love, Lol.
Go for it, Weeds :o)

If Conker stopped watering the Pansies and watered your weeds perhaps Truffles would eat them instead. Russian for go away is 'G'homeskimut.'

Hi Hameryllis ~
Truffle eats anything green. He would graze like a cow, given the choice ~
weeds, flowers, leaves.....
He thinks the tassels from JR are a special delicacy. Lol.

Thanks, I'll message you any time I need international translations.... Russian, Cornish, English.... :o)

Hi TT I expect you have to keep Truffles on a short lead when you visit other peoples gardens, or has he already been banned from your friends gardens ? I'm not too good at English but I'll give it a go.

Lovely shot of Conker and his pansies...gone to my favourites!!

Hello Panther ~
Conker is pleased to be watering all the flowers on your favourites. :o)

Hi Hameryllis ~ Truffle would be good at transforming gardens from formal to a much wilder, natural look....

With the credit crunch, I might hire Truffle out as a garden designer....

Good luck with the English... I have a friend from Devon, and he often uses West Country phrases which, to me, are incomprehensible.... I'm sure Cornish would be even more puzzling. Lol. :o)

sweet

Hello Ualda ~
Happy Easter from Conker and crew xxx :o)

What a lovely dog.

Hello Phil ~
Thanks for visiting Conker the Sheltie.
He says Happy Easter to you. :o)

He's a lovely looking dog! I love these dogs although his long coat must give you a lot of work to keep clean.

I'd ask you to send him over to water my plants but then you wouldn't get him back because by the time he finished he'd have to start all over again with such a small can! Lol! :)

Hello Balcony ~
Conker would enjoy watering all your container plants.
As you say, would take a long time with that small can !
No watering needed today I guess, with all the rain...

Conker the Sheltie keeps clean naturally. He's never needed a bath, and Shelties lick their feet clean like a cat. Truffle the Terrier puppy is the one with the muddy paws. Lol.

Enjoy your Easter :o)

Conker keeps clean naturally? I like him more and more as time goes on.

Aside to Hameryllis. LOL, we both got a chuckle out of your Russian. It must be working, he was in his own yard this morning. I was sorry to see him tied, even though he is a pest...he's so happy when he's cruising the neighborhood.

Conker is a very clever boy. Does he help you to dig the flowerbeds too?

omg, SO cute!

That's a totally lovely photograph, lol.

Thank you Darling, I hope you had a Happy Easter too!

Thanks everyone for your comments.
Conker and Truffle have been busy in the garden again this week.
My latest blog has more photos of their gardening ....

That's a picture to melt your heart!

The pansies look great :) Janie

Thanks, Janie, and welcome to GoY.
Enjoy :o)

aw lovely all my doggies do is wee on my flowers and lawn, i am so jealous!

Hello Kzzzzh ~
Conker is very helpful... :o)
Have you see my dog run photo, uploaded to GoY recently ?
My dogs do their puddles etc. in that dog run area, and then are on my lawn for playing and training...

TT, Every time I look at this photo I laugh...I just can't help it. It kills me! It's bringing tears to my eyes...I get like that over a good laugh! Such a great dog and a lovely photo!

Hello Pg ~
Yes, Conker is very special.
He is so keen to help around the garden. :o)

what a clever doggie

Thanks, yes he is very clever.....
He's my special boy... :o)

Good job Conker. I need to do some work w/Max

Boxers are very intelligent....
I'm sure Max would become a very efficient and eager garden helper. Lol.

Oh I do love this picture TT, Conker is so beautiful, all your dogs are. Just look at him holding the watering can, bless him

Thanks, Pamazon ~
Conker is very much my Head Gardener :o)

I know i'm kinda late with this comment but that is just the most sweet and innocent picture

Thanks, Lovegreen...
It's never too late to comment on any GoY photos.
When I have spare time, I enjoy going back and looking at older photos. :o)

Really good dogs, it is very cute!

Hi Jaderose ~
I'm pleased you like this picture :o)

Love this photo TT - I wish I could train our teenage son to do the same thing. We've just spent a week away and most of them are now dead!

Thanks, Frenchbean ~
Recently so much rain here that Conker's little watering can hasn't been used very often....

Crazy weather ! Did you see my pic of the big hail stones ? :o(.

A pity about your dead plants ! Maybe Conker could visit you and help with your garden... He's good at raking, sweeping, mowing and tidying up the flower pots.... Lol.

And I bet he doesn't walk around with his MP3 attached to his ears all the time either...Lol!

No.... but he does have his own toy piano which he plays with great enthusiasm. :o)

Bless him!

Sometimes Conker barks while he plays the piano keys. Lol. :o)

'Britains Got Talent' in his sight then ...Lol!

Piers, Amanda and Simon all say.....
YES :o)

Now all you need to do is to train him to dig weeds instead of your prize plants lol :-)

Hi Pip...How are you ?
Conker says thanks for visiting his pic...
He's a very good boy and doesn't dig up plants....
...helps with planting the flowers...:o)

Gorgeous photo..I've had 3 of these dogs over the years but now into the poodle x but the shelties are certainly amazing dogs...soooo intelligent.

Thanks, Judz...
Conker is very special..
Shelties and poodles are both intelligent breeds, aren't they. :o)

Does he do weeding? If so send him my way...!

Stunning dog - beautiful - going on my favs.

Thank you...
Conker is very helpful :o)

TT - Im getting so I have to have a weekly fix of Conkers Cute Pics! He is just too gorgeous for words!

Hi Busylizzy... Conker says hi and thank you
You are always welcome to visit his pics... :o)

only one word: priceless!

Thank you, Powderbrush ...
I hope all is well in Ontario.:o)
Is the weather warming up ?

Bootiful doggy ! ...and so helpful...

Thanks Panny ...
Conker is very helpful in the garden and indoors :o)
