Fun Shakespeare Facts
March 16, 2007
I was born with a neurological disorder that causes me to shake my head all around like a bobble head doll when I get nervous or excited. Hence the name SHAKE-speare.
I was my mama’s college graduation present to herself.
People often ask me if I am a “little Lassie,” a “mini collie” or a border collie? WHAT?!?!?!?
I love chicken guts. Livers, hearts, necks.. you serve it, I eat it.
I can’t eat any type of dried or canned dog food. It gives me the runs.
I am exactly 15 inches at the shoulder.
I’ve learned to bark in an “indoor voice” while I am in the house.
I am afraid of children.
I quit agility due to some arthritis pain.
I prefer large dogs to small dogs. Other shelties are OK though.
I like my brushings, except when mama thinks it’s necessary to brush under the tail… if you know what I mean.
I look at myself in the mirror after I’ve been groomed.
My favorite movie is “Babe.” Seriously, I sit there and watch it the whole time.. and block the TV so no one else can see.
I have to watch “Planet’s Funniest Animals” at 4 o’clock on Animal Planet. I get upset if I don’t.
I HATE, and by that I mean REALLY HATE having my teeth brushed.
I passed a herding instinct test. I got a certificate and everything.
I am bilingual and English and Russian.
I have a freakishly long tongue.
Well, I think that’s just a few of some fun facts about me. Hit me up with some about you too so I get to know you better!

Thanks so much for including me in your blogroll. By the way, I recently became a member of http://www.animal-internet.com (see my recent post). It’s a cool site for us, dogs. I was looking for you there, in fact. Why don’t you sign up? Give it a try…

Hi Shakespeare! Thanks for the fun facts, it’s good to know about dog bloggers. Fun facts about me, hmmm. I can fling drool 9 1/2 feet in the air (the height of our ceiling and there is drool on it), I believe that my rightful place is on my humans lap (I’m 126 lbs.), I LOVE having my teeth brushed, and HATE being brushed or having my ears cleaned. I run away if she picks up the nail clippers.
Sniffs and drool,

Hello, I found your site when I was looking through the net about shelties with head tremors. I have a sheltie(Alexis aka. Lexi) and she too has a head tremor. I have kept a diary on the tremors and haven’t seen any sign of time/tremor relation and we now believe that it is related to her left eye. My question for you is at what age did you notice the tremors and when did you notice them to subside? Other than the occasional tremor she seems perfectly normal. We have another sheltie (Lily) that is about a full year older and they play and run around like shelties normally do.
thank you for posting about Shakespeare as it lets me know that I am not the only one with a sheltie that has a tremor and that Shakespeare seems to be living a happy and healthy life.
