Piper...

Oh, my dog... He is hyper, he is Piper.

Today, I came home from the eye doctor (I have to wear glasses now...poop) and found that Piper, happily, got into some chocolate that was on the table. This dog loves sweets. As you may recall, he loves pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, butter, Hersey kisses and now, I find that he loves truffles and Hersey's miniature candy bars. Just another dog that has fallen into the "I don't get enough exercise in the winter" trap.

How is my dog not dead? I'm not sure. I think it's time Piper spends some time running around at the farm. I know my dog does a lot of stupid things, but I can't help but love him. He may get on my nerves or frustrate me, but he is such a good protector and always knows when I need a doggy kiss.

Piper is a good dog (despite his love for chocolate, but can you blame him?) and I love having him around. I love that he will bark and bark when we're home alone. Any noise is a threat to me and he's prepared to bark his head off at it. I love that if someone is at the door, he'll sit between me and the door - just in case :) Also, I love that he gets so excited to play with the laser...even though he chases it every night. So simple...

Here are some recent pictures of this cute little dog of ours:

Piper sleeping. My favorite way to spend time with him... :)
Piper and his friend Jocie. Piper had to come over and stand with me because he couldn't stand the fact that Jocie was sitting beside me and I was petting her.
This is how Piper reacts when we get to the farm. He knows exactly when we turn onto the gravel road and jumps up and whines and then tries to climb in between the seats, I guess for a better look.
