Hey remember me??

Yes i'm alive and well, and so is Piper :) Lots of things have been going on in our household. Piper has started Obedience training! Shes doing really well. Currently we're working on down which is going good. Her favorite treat is CHEEEZE! She'll do anything for it. The only problem we've encountered so far is that she wants to play with all the other dogs at training, she thinks its a big ol party :)

I've decided to go back to school. As of this past Tuesday i'm a sophmore at Jamestown Community College. Its been kind of wierd hanging out there again, getting used to walking the campus with a bunch of youngins, but so far I like it. I just finished my first 2 assignments of homework (and I survived!).

I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. We have a few picnics we're attending so i'm sure there will be a few Kodak moments popping up! Have a great holiday weekend!

Mischief

Piper just loooooves getting into mischief. Today she almost got her head stuck in a kitchen chair.

Previously she almost got her head stuck in one of my crocs (which is also one of her favorite chew toys!)
I guess its tough having a big head ;)

Chewy Chewy Chewy!!

I've always heard that puppy's chew a lot, but SHEESH she chews on everything and anything. The other day when I THOUGHT she was asleep at my feet, she was actually chewing on my laptop cord....BAD BAD PUPPY! All of a sudden I hear a YIPE and lots of barking...yup she got shocked. Did she learn? NOPE, she bit it again yesterday. Its now reinforced with electrical tape and I may need to buy something called Bitter Bite according to the pet store. The dog has tons of chewies and toys and STILL a MAC chord is her buddy. We also have to make sure her collar is tight otherwise its a target too...

Chewing is seriously tiring work!

Those 2 legged kids

Well since i'm behind in my Piper pics (I promise ill take more soon!) I thought i'd post some pics of my 2 legged kids. As I mentioned they were busy with Drama Enrichment the past few weeks which is why i've been soooo busy! I thought i'd post a few of their costumes :)

Beauty & The Beast

My Beautiful Girls :)

Happy Monday

Ok so those words don't USUALLY come out of my mouth but i'm sitting here with a puppy on my lap and its absolutely QUIET! No kids are awake and its just me and a sleepy puppy. How could it get any better (ok I could've remembered to make tea but lets not dwell on that!)

Things have finally settled down in the Graham household. I officially have nothing to do this week, no soccer, no drama camp, NADA. So the task is to play with Pipey and FIND MY HOUSE. I'm sure its around here somewhere under the clutter and cobwebs. There is 3 weeks left until school starts (Can I get a HALLELUJAH?!??!) and it'll take that long to clean this place up.

Pipey got a new toy while I was busy. Her name is Elly and its her favorite. We discovered that she really likes stuffed animals, especially Makennas Webkinz. So when I was at Walmart I found this big fuzzy elephant that squeaks. She was immediately filled with glee and started to take her everywhere.

Checking in

Things are settling down and the blog will be on track next week. Pipey is none to happy with us because we've been gone a lot for the musical. Here she is giving her those big puppy dog eyes :(

What do you mean you're leaving AGAIN!?!??!
INCONCEIVABLE!

Yes we're alive :)

Sorry for no blog updates. My 2 legged kids are busy with their summer drama program and being the good mom that I am, I help out a lot so i've been at the Theatre a lot.

Piper is doing well with her eye drops, she sits really still and lets us put them in. When the accident first happened the side of her eye where she got hit was all cloudy and looked horrible, she favored it and itched it. Now she doesn't even know it exsists and there is only one small spot that has the white covering her eye. She goes back on Saturday for a re-check and another dreaded shot! She hates those and whines.

Gettin tired of the camera MA!

Pipey's got a boo boo!!!

Late yesterday morning one of the cats decided she really didn't want to be bothered and gave Pipey her first big boo boo. She got swiped pretty good in her right eye by our middle cat Annabelle. It swelled up, started weeping and oozing a bit. We had her at the vets first thing this morning and found out Anna scratched her on the corner of her cornea :( So Pipey has to have drops in her eye 3 times a day (which is a FUN treat) for the next week and be checked next Saturday morning. I feel so bad, i've been calling her winky. It looks much better today than it did yesterday though. Here's a pic to tide you over for the weekend!

Life is gooood!
(or was until that damn cat!)
