I realized I haven't posted much about Piper (our found Parvo puppy)! We still have her and she is doing so well! She has convinced us to continue feeding her, and now all the other dogs, wet food. Something 3 other dogs and a few before them have been unsuccessful at. She sleeps at such weird angles, I know she has no bones in her body! And she makes the strangest noises! Watch the video at the bottom and you will see! She finds things we haven't seen awhile! Money too, I thought she might be a piggy bank, but it turns out when you turn her upside down and shake her more money doesn't come out. Kind of bummed after we spent so much to get her better.
Every morning, I go to get her out of my youngest room, with the 3 other dogs barking like mad behind me. She usually looks up me, rolls over and tries to go back to sleep. When I nudge her, looks at me, rolls over and shows me her belly thinking that I cannot resist her belly and must stay there petting her until she wakes up. I really have no time for this so I do everything I can to get her out of bed and down the stairs to go out. The other morning, I was counting the dogs as they went outside - one, two, three, fo... wait where is the fourth? She had been right there behind me. Little sneak! I ran downstairs to see if she was hiding out in Makaela's room. No. Ran back up to Aidan's room. No. My room? No. The couch??? No. I couldn't find her... When I did, she had burrowed under a blanket to hide from me! She is suuuuccchhhh not a morning dog! Here are some pictures from my phone. In case you are wondering, I really do love my other dogs too and so I have included some images of them too.

This is the most perfect ever favorite dog I have ever had! Gretchen is the dog that made me like dogs almost as much as cats!
I don't think the dogs enjoyed this little exercise as much as Makaela!
This is Thunder, our oldest dog. He is definitely showing signs of his almost 12 years. We've had to start giving him organic pain meds for his hips. Poor guy has a hard time getting around, but when we go to the dog park he acts like a puppy! And then he has 2 or 3 days of recovery. We are still trying to figure out what and how much he can handle.
This is Otto, Makaela's dog. He is the perfect dog to sit in your lap. He doesn't lick you (like Gretchen) or paw you because you aren't petting him enough (like Thunder). He will just sit in your lap and be perfectly content - until Piper comes and knocks him out of the way that is.
