Since moving to Wisconsin, I have seen how true-to-her-breed Piper really is...Relentless, determined, laser-focused with her attempts to get little gopher that lives under her deck. How she can hear and smell that tiny thing underneath boards, concrete and walking on mud is beyond me, but Piper will terrier-trot all around deck then jump (well, heck--it's gotta be a good ten inches high) up on it, stop and raise one paw and cock her little head until she locks in and bam, she's digging and biting at the wood---then she'll repeat entire cycle--several times!! So anyway, Charlie is still the most wondrous and darling little guy and all is well with everyone, yes?! Pictures of that perfect lil' pooch are always welcomed and enjoyed!!! |
