Well Piper will be 15 weeks tomorrow. It's hard to believe we've almost had her 2 months, although my tiredness does indicate we've had her that long. She is growing like a weed. At the vet a week ago, she weighed 16.8 pounds. I'd say she's close to 19 now. I can't hold her as long at night because she's getting heavier.
She is still such a love bug. My favorite times of the day are when she comes out of her crate and crawls in my lap. She just loves being around people. Her new game is to put the ball somewhere in your vacinity and then walk into the kitchen, hide under the table, and wait until you throw it. She would stand there 5 minutes if that's what it took for you to recognize the ball. And she's completely silent. It's pretty funny.
Piper now knows sit, lay down, shake (about half the time), no bite, and off. She also knows, "Go get the ball." Whenever she gets too bitey, I'll tell her to get the ball. She immediately stops what she's doing and searches for the ball.
My parents, Oba, and Sierra came the Friday before Easter. It was Oba and Sierra's first time meeting Piper. Sierra did NOT like Piper at first, but by the time they left the next morning, they were starting to get along. Piper seems to sense that Oba takes a little more gentleness than a normal person. Oba gave her a kiss on the snout, and Piper proceeded to give her kisses right back. Piper seems to be fairly sensitive to people and surroundings.
Since Brett's been recruiting, Piper and I went to my parents' house for a couple of days. It was her first long trip (3 hours). On the way there, she whined for quite a bit. On the way back through, she slept for 2 out of the 3 hours. I think it being dark outside helped her sleep. Plus, Sierra wore her out before we left.
Piper also traveled to the main office of my job and to the GWU football office. She will definitely be visiting GWU in the future. I can't wait until she's old enough for us to walk around campus.
That's a pretty rough update of the past three weeks, but I'll leave you with a bunch of pictures of the cuteness that is our baby girl Piper.
