These picture were taken about three weeks ago. Skippy "joined" us for a snack at the kitchen table at home. The funny thing is that the way he sits is different. Dog always sit on their butts, but Skippy sits side way on his butt! He has good manners as he does not jump on the table or beg for food when we are having our snacks. He just sit there a observe what is going on.

George was hailed as a "brilliant little dog" by his owner. A dog which died protecting a group of children from two pitbull terriers in New Zealand has been given the highest honour for animals. George, a Jack Russell from Manaia, in Taranaki on New Zealand's North Island, fended off the two dogs, allowing the children to escape. But he was badly hurt in the April 2007 incident and had to be put down. His owner, Alan Gay, was presented with the PDSA gold medal by New Zealand's Governor-General Anand Satyanand. Mr Gay paid tribute to his pet. "He was a brilliant little dog, intelligent. You couldn't insult him. I'd call him 'dipstick' and he wouldn't have anything to do with me," he told TVNZ. George is the first dog from New Zealand to receive the honour, which is the equivalent of the Commonwealth's highest civilian honour, the George Cross.
