"O God, enlarge within us the sense of fellowship with all living things, our little brothers to whom Thou hast given this earth as their home in common with us.

"May we realize that they live not for us alone, but for themselves and for Thee, and that they love the sweetness of life even as we, and serve Thee better in their place than we in ours." - St. Basil the Great

Skippy - My Italian Greyhound

CONGRATULATIONS TO SKIPPY!

Skip completed his AKC/CGC Evaluation and PASSED at the 2nd Annual Chico Canine Carnival! Thank you Debbie Eaglebarger, CGC Evaluator and Dog Trainer at Second Chance Animal Rescue.

He is now an AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen!

Skip or Skippy is my Rescued Italian Greyhound. He had a bad start in life but by the blessings of the Veterinarian Surgeon, Dr. Tom Broaddus, Veterinarian Susan Broaddus, the care of Vet Tech, Laurie Jarrett and all the staff at VCA Gateway Animal Hospital, Skip was given a second chance to live and had his broken leg repaired.

It was at a Nor Cal Dog Training Club meeting that Laurie brought Skip to one of the meetings looking for a "quiet" home to help him recover, rehabilitate, potty train, and learn to be a dog.

After much discussion with my friend and roommate, he came to live at our house at the age of 1 year and 6 months old.

He has come a long way in his training, potty training and socialization. As of March 2011 Skippy is 5 years old and is learning some Rally Obedience skills, Agility Skills and Swimming. He still has a long way to go, but take a look at his photos and how can you not love this little guy!
