Pippa our Irish Water Spaniel

Guess what, it snowed

lots

again!!

Pippa had recently taken great delight in chewing the dryer vent off the wall, after fixing it 5 times this is hopefully the sixth and final solution!

We got more snow so Pippa got the chance to try out her submarining techniques again! Youtube video below the still frame, should be in HD.

Pippa’s enjoying the cold snap…

Pippa had some type of irritation on her rear pad & chewed it red raw overnight, it seems to be healing but she doesn’t like the collar to stop her licking!

An early Christmas present…

Here’s Pippa with her rosette after coming 1st at Puppy training. The exam consisted of

Temperament Test score 5/5
Heelwork on lead 9.5/10
Recall 5/5
Distance control 4.5/5
Stand stay 5/5
Play retrieve 10/10
Sit stay off lead 0.5/5
Down stay off lead 4.5/5

A beach, sand, sea, and not much sun, but Pippa enjoyed the waves and the huge expanses of sand!

First real camping trip with Pippa and she was very well behaved, so was rewarded with a swim and fetch in the local river

Pippa came blackberry picking with us recently, after realising we had all stopped and she wasn’t having a game of ball chase, she watched for a bit then joined in, somehow she knew to only pick the ripe ones!
