Shetland of Shelindalë
This is the very first Shelindalë gallery which won't only include dog pictures. ;) I wanted to show you as well the landscapes and buildings we could see during our short discovery-trip to Germany, via Metz. The main aim of this trip was to meet our future 3rd little sheltie girl who will join us in mid-December, and her breeders... :) We took the occasion to do a bit of tourism, in the automnal cold!
