Wow, from blogging all the time to barely blogging. Life has been busy! I wanted to give a summer update of what we have been busy doing. One of the biggest things that happened right after I last blogged (that night actually!) was we had a HUGE hail storm. Our windows in the back were blown out, broken light fixtures and damaged roof! So that was a mess to clean up and we had boarded up windows for a few weeks waiting for the new ones to come in! We finally finished (just last week!) the last of the windows and the roof. It was a blessing in disguise as we were going to have to replace the windows soon (they had condensation).
Piper has been growing a ton! This was from her first trip to the beach at the end of May. She LOVED the sand but hated the water and the waves. That does not go for pool water and other water though.
Piper absolutely loves the pool. She cannot get enough of it. Our neighbors have a pool and she loves going swimming in it. It is even more fun for her when their two little girls are swimming with her.
She now jumps in on her own, which is quite a feat for her!
As of Tuesday, July 12th she weighed 35.4 lbs! We expect her to be around 60-70, so she still has a ways to go! She is doing really well in Puppy Kindergarten and learning lots of new commands!
At the beginning of June we went to visit family in New Hampshire. We took a stop at my favorite ice cream place in Stratham, NH and I got banana with Swedish Fish. I don’t remember what Josiah got.
My grandparents were able to meet my nephew (their great grandson) for the first time. Mimi was in heaven!
And we got to see the majority of the family, which is always nice! We all had a great time going out to breakfast, eating at my cousins and then going out to breakfast again!
It seems like this summer has just flown by! We have friends coming to visit us, a wedding and then will end by taking a trip home to Tennessee!
I only stop by for the Piper Updates 😉 Gonna be a super sweet dog to have in the family! Just make sure she knows for certain where the steps are in the pool to climb out after she jumps in … say that from experience! Our dalmation used to jump in and swim in circles and then we had to coax him to the steps to climb out. He learned over time but I was always afraid he’d jump in when there wasn’t anyone else around! Guess I might worry too much?
aw then I have totally let you down because I have not done enough Piper updates! Thankfully the pool has a place she can get out without steps, so that is really nice.
