Piper is six years old today, so we celebrated the special occasion with lots of scritches and extra cheese.
I also made her a party hat (because somehow, I’ve turned into the type of person who makes small party hats for dogs*) but of course, Piper refused to wear it. At least as she posed long enough for me to snap this:
A small part of me wishes she’d just listen to me and wear the thing, but when I really think about it, I realize that I do admire her stubborn streak. She is a dog that doesn’t let herself get pushed around. She is her own dog!
Also on the agenda today for Piper: a brand new bed, and a marrow bone.
*In case you’re one of THOSE people as well, you can download a free template to make a doggie party hat right here.
