Puppy Update

It's been a quiet week for me spent slowly starting to feel better after last week's chemo. For Piper, it's been an exciting and busy week spent mostly, growing. In the past 2 weeks, she's gained 6# and grown 3 inches. Now at 13 weeks of age, she is 30# and 19" at the shoulder. We're still working very hard on getting outside in time to go potty and making some progress. We have been attending puppy school and thus far, she's working on sit/stay and down/stay. She seems to have sit mastered pretty well. She also has learned how to dig holes and her big sister's have taught her all about eating deer (and other) poop outside. She even had the chance to play with some busy 5-year-olds!

We've had some progress with big sister Olivia. They have been caught on several occasions, playing together. This occurs mostly outside but that's ok. Progress is progress. And please, don't tell Olivia. What she doesn't know won't hurt her!

There were even caught sharing the little dog bed. At the rate Piper is growing, she won't fit much longer.

Tomorrow is chemo #3...yea! I will be 3/4 done. No pity party this time. I am ready to get going so I can be done. As has become a nice routine, Mom and Bob will come over tomorrow afternoon to make dinner for us. It is so wonderful to come home and not have to think about dinner. Thus far, it's been really good stuff too! Tomorrow will probably be no exception.



Here's one more cute puppy photo. This is something we are both really good at~taking naps!
