What's Skippy up to?

Skippy got a short haircut on Thursday. His groomer was trying out a new clipper that didn't work very well for Skip. He has all kinds of tracks in his fur. He still gets lots of comments on how nice he looks ("Ohh, he looks like velvet! What kind of dog is he?"), but it not the best haircut I've seen. I wish she'd tried it out on some other dog.

The good news is that Skippy has a new diet this week that is great! I won't go into details, but he has been very regular. The trick was no grain at all. Especially no rice. I was giving him half EVO dog food and half homemade chicken and rice. Now he gets about 3/4 EVO (a grain-free dogfood) and 1/4 chicken. Maybe he'll gain some weight. I keep hoping. He's been holding real steady at 49.5 pounds. He's very active (the fastest dog around! and the cutest!) and eats alot of food. We're still trying to get him to about 55 pounds.
