Piper
We got Piper in March of 2005, from Nebraska Humane Society. I was doing
some volunteer training of dogs there. I took her out of the kennel to
work with her, and I fell in love. She was so cute and very sweet. But
since we already had three dogs we weren't even thinking of getting
another one. So I put her back after her session and went on to other
dogs.
I was sure she would get adopted soon. Well I waited three days and
checked to see if she was still there. She was. So I told Doug about "this
darling little terrier" and he said "let's go see her". Of course we
adopted her.
Piper is a Jack Russell Terrier. She is about seven years old and we are
her third home. She wasn't housetrained, so we had some remedial work to
do. At first her tail was always tucked, unlike most terriers, but she is
starting to gain confidence. As you might notice in some of her photos,
she is skinny. She actually has gained a half pound since we got her.
She's healthy and eats well but so active it is hard to keep weight on
her.
Piper is so much fun. She is almost never sitting still. We have had to
learn about living with a JRT -- she has a vertical jump of at least three
feet, can climb up the outside of a huge wire crate to see what is on top,
and can open drawers.
Piper is a delightful sweet little dog and is now in her forever home.
