  • We Finally Met the Famous Westie Puppy Skye!

    The past month, everyone has had the same question when they see us out walking, "Have you met Skye, yet?" There is nothing like a new puppy to generate excitement among the neighborhood dog walkers.

    Then one day, we spotted this adorable Westie puppy and asked, "Is that Skye?"

    Skye and her person must have been on the other end of the questioning because when we introduced our girl, "We know all about Poppy." was the reply.

    Skye spent a few minutes asking Poppy some questions and trying to get our little Duchess to play. As usual, her highness declined but did allow a round of sniffs.

    Skye was in one of those adorable, one-ear-up-one-ear-down phases. But she was talkative and a little cuddle bug. After Penny was given permission, this little sweetie was picked up for a good snuggle. Then Poppy took notice! (Hey, no stealing my people!)

    She was named for the Isle of Skye off the coast of Scotland and we look forward to learning more about her as this little neighbor grows up under the watchful eyes of her fan club.

    Here is our Poppy at Skye's age with her favorite Kong toys!

    We ran into Skye again and her person said that Ms. Skye is now a fan of goat cheese in a Kong Extreme! Poppy recommended this for times when a dog girl has to stay home alone and might get bored enough to HOWL! We wrote about that toy in this post:

  • Sunday Dog, “Affy” Has Great Scottish Genes!

    Say, “Guid Mornin,” to Sunday Dog “Affy,” a Scottish lad whose ancestors date back hundreds of years! This Skye Terrier’s relatives were romping around the Isle of Skye at least four centuries ago and likely predate all terrier breeds in Scotland.

    This affable three-year-old is originally from Connecticut but now calls Boston home. Because
    Affy’s only been in town a week, he’s still adjusting to the sounds of the city. This place can also be a little overwhelming at first with so many people and dogs to meet. But no matter where you’re from, there’s always one universal dog greeting that can make you feel right at home …

    Since our Poppy’s had a few weeks head start adapting to her surroundings, she’s offered to introduce her new buddy around– it shouldn’t be too difficult for two adorable terriers with Scottish genes.

    By the way, because his people work in the pharmaceutical industry, the name Affy is a nod to Affymetrix, a company that makes gene analysis hardware.

    Nice to meet ya, Affy! You’re gonna have a great time here!
