hey piper



Me: Hey, Piper, guess what!

Piper: Wha'?

Me: This box that just arrived in the mail? It's the camera!! 
We've finally got the camera back from the Little Shop of Miracles!!!


Piper: um, has the camera been missing? 

Me: What?! It's been gone for weeks!
Weeks and weeks!


Piper: Oh.

Me: Haven't you noticed on our walks by the pond lately,
that I don't stop every few seconds to take a picture?


Piper: Of course I noticed. I was thrilled.
I thought I had finally trained you to Walk Properly.

Dear Readers, if you are still here...

I will be putting the revitalized camera through it's paces very soon,
and there will be lots of images and updates to come.
But I couldn't wait to share these first snaps,
taken minutes after I brought up the mail and opened the package.
Piper, who declined to accompany me to the letterbox
on the grounds of, "It's too h-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ot....",
 was at first mildly interested in the package.
(Treats often come in packages, you see.)
But you can judge the level of her excitement
when I brought out The Camera.
Me? I felt like jumping up and down in joy!
But Piper had a point:
it truly is Summer now, and it really is hot.

    1. Hey there, Tipper! And now I can keep a photographic record of my seed tests! With this hot weather, things are - finally - starting to grow :)

  3. Surely this isn't the same Piper who we've seen bounding through the woods?! She really doesn't seem to enjoy the hot weather. My dog is ready for a walk no matter what, but I did have to walk him early this morning before it got even more muggy (it's me who hates walking in the heat). I think you captured Piper's feelings quite well ;) Wendy x

    1. It really was uncomfortable weather today...high 80s and very muggy and buggy. Even the goats didn't want to move til nearly dark!

    1. She is indeed. And I am not in the least biased. (Ha!)

  5. That was an incredibly funny conversation - In fact, you could've substituted me for you, and my husband for Piper. My husband may throw my camera in a lake someday :)

    I'm so glad that you're back, and that your camera was saved!

  6. Welcome back everyone, and the pix, too. I was getting quite anxious about you all! I heart Piper, so expressive in every way.

    1. Yes, Piper had raised "emoting" to a fine canine art form. Thanks for your thoughts, Boud -I've got a lot of blog-reading and blog-writing to catch up on, for sure!

  8. Darling Piper, I want to kiss her on the nose!
    As I type, her distant cousin is also lounging on a chair :-)

  9. Quinn, not sure, as usual, my comment went through...so glad you're camera is in working order; life isn't the same without one, is it?

  10. Oh, what a pretty girl your miss Piper is! My two give me the same pained expression when the camera comes out :)
    I use my phone a lot to take photos of the dogs and it's rubbish, so maybe I should take my camera for a walk!
