In the run-up to the annual chimney crawl, Kipling is in hyperactive Christmas mode. Zippy strives to keep the Santa belief going and distracts Kipling by teaching shepherding tricks!
When shepherds come to your home, what do you do?
They both stop to eat orchard apples fallen on the ground…
It’s hard to call them away… Zippy looked exactly like Kipling when he was 3 months old.
Zippy teaches Kipling the tricks of the shepherding trade: always pay attention!
And keep a watchful eye! Santa comes and goes in microseconds!
Best to you and your family this holiday season.

They are adorable! Makes me miss my Shadow even after all these years. Shepherds are just wonderful dogs. Maybe I’ll have to get one for my daughter.
Justin replied: I bet Shadow was an incredible companion. Best to you always, Justin

Wonderful photos, Justin. Isn’t she coming along well – and so good to see that she pays attention to her elder brother. Bollo treats apples like balls to play with – hasn’t quite got the fact that they are edible! Happy Christmas and New Year to you, my friend.

Thank you Jane! Kipling is a little apple thief (she can’t get enough of them and was raised on the raw food thing — still feeding her this Common Sense plan, chicken or beef with carrots, flax, combination)! Zippy wants her puppy food and tries to horn in. Happy New Year to you and your family. May Bollo keep you laughing for many years to come.
