a walk in the snow

This is Callahan State Park, Framingham MA. Skippy and I went for a long walk this afternoon. After being away from him for a week, it was really nice to spend time together.

Callahan is a great place to walk, with beautiful wide open spaces. But, I think its time they did something about all the dog waste on the trails. Yuck!! It really ruins the beauty of the place. One question I have: how can a dog walker with 8 dogs clean up after them all??? The photo below shows 5 people with 23 dogs.

happy holidays!!!

Skippy just got a nice haircut from our favorite groomer. Its a real bother. When we go for a walk now, everyone stops and says. "Excuse me. What kind of dog is that?" Or, "Wow, that dog looks like velvet." I can't argue. He is an awesome puppy.

We're looking forward to visiting the kids at Spaulding Pediatric Rehab Hospital in downtown Boston tomorrow. We're scheduled for a therapy visit there. Skippy will be able to jump up on the kid's beds. (I have to make sure his paws are clean!) I hope they like Skippy's velvety soft fur.
