Piper's First Birthday!

My sweet little puppy dog.  I cannot believe you turn one TOMORROW!!  Celebrations and a puppy pawty are in order as you and your bestie celebrate turning one (Bella turns one Sunday!)

So tiny here, just 13 weeks old when we got you.  You were a bit shy, and the first night you just flopped on your bed--surveying this strange new place.  I took a few days off work to get to know you.

You loved car rides from the start and we took you with us almost every where!

Michael and I loved you from the start and enjoyed meeting other fellow doggie lovers, going to puppy festivals and even dog bars!

It was so fun to show you new places!  You weren't certain about the ocean but you loved running on the beach in Wilmington!

Holidays with you to dress up are way more fun.  

 

Snow days were even more fun!  You loved the snow and couldn't get enough!

 

Always so happy, always so loving.  You've been such a wonderful addition to our family sweet puppy.  You've shown us true and unconditional love...helped us start to get ready to have even bigger responsibilities (babies!!) and been there for us always.  A true Velcro dog, we are blessed to have such a sweet loving pup in our lives.

(Can you tell how much I adore my dog?!  Can't wait to share photos of her pawty!!)
