Pippa, December's Coastal Canine

Ready to work as a reindeer stand-in


ree

December's Coastal Canine was born in a land where fuzzy sheep are just begging to be herded, and Pippa wants you to know that she is always ready to lend a paw.


However, since her new home has fewer sheep, she happily herds what and whomever is at hand. This includes members of her family and anyone who dares to come to the door. At this time of year, she's more than ready to pull any sleighs that need guiding, but so far has not heard back from Santa.


When she's not herding (or chasing her ball), Pippa's best walks take place anywhere she can stop and sniff out the latest in doggie news. Inside the house, her favourite trick is hiding under the kitchen table to watch for falling food under children's chairs, and has even been known to help herself from the table when no one is watching.


Hope Santa gives you a jingle soon, Pippa!

You are beautiful Pippa. No wonder, since you were such an adorable puppy. Merry Christmas and happy herding.
