Skimmer is a very excellent Leonberger

Posted on August 8, 2013 by Marsha

I thought I’d posted this ages ago but apparently I didn’t… Odd title for a post, I’ll admit, but it does have an extra meaning.  Sometime back in June Skimmer passed Rally Advanced; as I think he got a whopping … Continue reading →

In memory of Ripple

Posted on February 20, 2013 by Marsha

I usually try to stay light-hearted in my WaterDog Blog posts but I can’t do that this time… Ripple died on Jan 18, 2013.  Her death was sudden but fortunately pain-free as far as we could tell:  she was sleeping … Continue reading →
