I just found these of Skah while looking through my thumbdrive. I can’t believe it was only two years ago (he was born 21JAN08) that he was this small!

3 months old:

5 months old:

11 months old:

21 months old (and he still looks like this now):

Friday Funny #11: Skah the Huge Puppy

I’ve always thought that a big laugh is a really loud noise from the soul saying, “Ain’t that the truth.”
~Quincy Jones

It’s time for the next “Friday Funny.” As a Navy wife with a husband who isn’t home much (and is deployed right now) sometimes things can get a bit melancholy.

This week’s is another video of our Great Pyrenees Skah.  He’s 21 months old and definitely looks like an adult dog… but he’s still a puppy most of the time!  Here he’s playing “wild dog” in a very small room!

Friday Funny #10: Skah, the Scary Guard Dog

With the fearful strain that is on me night and day, if I did not laugh I should die.

This one is from my own home.  Skah is our now 21 month old Great Pyrenees. We found out when he was 10 months old that he is completely deaf. We specifically chose this breed (well, Huzzy did) because he wanted a guard dog that he could feel comfortable leaving his family with whenever the Navy called him away (which is often, since he’s active duty).

While I was gone drilling (I’m a Navy reservist) the other week, he saw a big, scary garbage can while on a walk at my mom’s house and started barking a “low, mean, scary bark that meant business” (according to my mom). He really was trying to protect her. Which is awesome, because that means his guarding ability is starting.

But it’s not quite all the way there, as evidenced by the other night’s fun….

(please ignore the messy countertops, I’d just gone grocery shopping)
