Wicklow Ireland

Well, seeing as this site is living life the wicklow way with skippy the dog it’s only fair to keep you all updated on his health when he is busy recovering and so unable to type up his quota of news!!

With so  much going on I keep forgetting to upload the images which I will do this week. He now has a new temporary home as such – somewhere to rest his head outdoors whilst staying sheltered and able to poop if need be! ( you gotta cover all possiblities) . Is he spoilt? I am beginning to think so as i just swept the earth so there would be no pebbles to trip his sore leg up!! Jeez , but he still stays in the house if weather is bad or at night time. so don’t be worrying about him folks – We’ll make sure he’s ready to race around Wickow again soon!

loving having him home,

Sarah n Skippy reunited

You’ve heard of the bionic man, the bionic womnan and she actually had a bionic dog..Well, now Skippy is also a bionic dog.

He has had a metal plate inserted into his hind leg. And he has had more than a close shave – literally!! Its not a pretty sight but he still has the cutest face ever as you will see on Monday when we put his pics up.

In th meantime Skippy has asked that we say hello to all the nurses in UCD Vetinary College and he would specifically like to thank his surgeon Fabrice Bernard and also Philip Cusack who was very sweet to him.

We’ll see you guys sometime next week maybe Thursday? We’ll phone first and see whats best. Thaaaanks for taking care of skippers!!

P.P.s Can we also send out a big thank-you hug to Skippers’ aunty Mateja who let her lovely jacket get all ruined carrying him home on her lap today xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

BBQ Anyone?

Astronomy Ireland will again be holding their annual Fundraising Star-B-Q
this year on Saturday August 30th in An Tochar GAA club, Roundwood.
See here www.astronomy.ie/sbq/index.html for details.

I have just heard that Skippy can come home tomorrow morning! But the poor guy got a fissure when the vet guys were screwing the metal plate ( awwww) to his leg!!

So first I gotta get a cage for him and he’s got to be kept in it for 6 long weeks, my poor baby!

The only other advice I have ( apart from insurance) is to slow down when driving…and I guess it would have been polite to stop and say sorry. Some people eh? Thank goodness for Karma.

Tomorrow I will post info on skippers and get some pics uploaded for all you wellwishers by Monday.

Poor Skippy!!! He got hit by a car last night and is now awaiting to be brought to the UCD Veterinary College where the Veterinary Surgeons are going to operate on his badly fractured leg.. He looked sooo blue.

But he is a brave little fella and will be back with us by the weekend we hope. So please keep your fingers and paws crossed for Skippy.

Thanks to The Wicklow Veterinary clinic down by the new bowling alley for their speed, caring and efficiency. I’ll post a pic of him asap.

And a HUGE THANK YOU to my Wonderful Boyfriend Mick Scullion for taking care of him and taking the time out of his busy schedule to take him to UCD Vet College. XXX

A word of warning – If you haven’t done it already get your pet insurance !! This is gonna cost around a grand !!! But Skippy is of course worth it.

Sarah & (in spirit), Skippy the dog
