Skippy’s summer haircut
14 Comments
Skippy has become a sleek and slim puppy again! He’s ready for summer in his “nuddie clip”. So much cooler for a black dog, and easier. He looks and feels like a velveteen teddy bear now!

welcome to Bo from cousin Skippy
Since Bo is coming home today, I’m posting some pictures of Skippy when he was a puppy. Oh what a cute little terror he was…. These photos are at 3 months old – a bit younger than Bo. I did some reading to see if Skippy is related to Bo. Here’s what I found: Bo was breed by a kennel in Texas called Amigo. Bo and Senator Kennedy’s new puppy, Cappy, (the Senator’s third Portie!) are from the same litter – brothers! Bo’s parents are Ch. Amigo’s Phor What Its…
First Portie
Obviously not my photos, but I just love to see this little puppy. The “first puppy” is an incredibly cute 6 mo old Portuguese water dog – a perfect age to bring home a puppy. The puppy teeth are a bit less sharp by now…. the puppy has figured out what to do, no more chewing or peeing every two hours all night. The first spring, I took Skippy out every x hours all night for every x months of age … and there were many very rainy and cold…
Happy Birthday Skippy

photos of Skippy
Another nice day. I brought my camera on our afternoon walk and took a bunch of pictures of Skippy. He even looked up at me for some of them… The big Saint Bernard Skippy met is Lola. Her blog is here. I read a bit about how her owner rescued her (here). Its always fun to meet other bloggers out there.
a job for Skippy
Skippy is almost 4 and I’m thinking its time he contributed a bit more to the gardening effort. Today, as I was raking winter debris from the backyard, I ended up with a lot of sticks. These are perfect for supporting pea vines and I wanted to collect them in a pile. So I explained to Skippy: “Put the stick in the pile”. He understood the stick part and did great at coming to get the stick. Then he got confused – or had a better idea. He wrestled the…
Skippy loves popcorn
Just a little for Skippy – but its one of his favorite snacks on a weekend evening. With extra butter. I love to look at my popcorn seed collection:Baby Golden (a free sample from Sand Hill Preservation Center)Faribo WhiteTarahumara White (oops – this is a sunflower not a popcorn!) Three types! I can’t wait to plant these in a few weeks. It will be my first time growing popcorn. Or any corn at all. I think these are all small varieties. Relatively (4-5 ft tall). We’re looking forward to many…
all about dogs
A post about Portuguese water dogs with a photo of Skippy – the cutest water dog anywhere!
This is a journal of my vegetable gardens. Skippy thinks the garden is his, even though I do all the work. We're located near Boston, in USDA zone 6. I have bees, chickens, fruit trees and berry bushes, too. I use all sustainable organic methods and strive to grow all of my family's vegetables myself. -Kathy
