Shelby the Rottweiler

I got my Rottie, Shelby when she was 8 weeks old. She is stunningly beautiful and smart, and is a real clown.

She has been easy to train, and gets along well with her kitty, Louie. Lately though, she has started something that has me completely baffled

- in the early morning hours, she goes "shopping". She gets up from her dog bed (which is at the foot of my bed), goes into the front room, and "shops".

She looks around for items that interest her, and takes them back to her bed. I've found the remote control a number of times, nasal spray, a Rubix cube, socks, a hairbrush, various bottles such as lotion, and other numerous items.

Funny thing though, she never chews on them. She simply...collects stuff. Don't know why.
