While Skippy sniffs here and there, often I photograph whatever is nearby. Here are my pictures of Queen Anne's Lace seed head, grass flowers, ragweed flowers and a dandelion puff ball.

napping puppy

skippy rests
It was a busy weekend for Skippy! This is what he did most of the afternoon and is still doing now. Napping.

We visited my parents and biked and walked with them. Then Skippy had to be on guard all night in a different house. (He's a very attentive guard dog.)

This afternoon, Skippy visited with the kids at Spaulding Pediatric Rehab in downtown Boston. This is always fun, as Skippy gets to jump up on the beds and get great snuggles. Today he would have liked to stay a while with the kids.
