Hyper Piper

Savannah has wanted a pet for a LONG time. I have had the debate many a time of what pet would fit our family the best. I don't want stinky. I don't want hairy, and I don't want something that will even THINK about ruining my new furniture. You feel me?! This is where my problem lies.

We had a fish pond outside, and we considered those pets...that is until they all died. I would bring a gold fish inside occasionally (if it looked like it was struggling/dying). We would then flush them when they lost the battle. Savannah then thought that is what we do to all fish...even healthy, happy one's.

Savannah and I once found a kitten in the bushes. We brought him home, named him Res-Q, and he lived for about 5 days, then he died on us. It was one of those days that made me a Mommy. Try explaining to a 2 year old that Res-Q is dead. It was hard, and I actually cried. I grow attached quickly.I have endless stories of my childhood pets that all died tragically. Dogs, cats, birds, you name it. I think this is what scares me about getting a pet for Van...I'm cursed.

THEN my sister came to visit, and brought her dog. Problem solved! Emilie and Hiram just need to visit more, and bring Piper. Savannah was in HEAVEN! It was exhausting just watching Savannah and Piper run ALL over the back yard. Thank you Emilie and Hiram for coming to visit, and most of all letting Savannah be entertained by your Hyper Piper!
