Pudd’in- My cat who passed away spring of 2012. She was given to me by my friend Tree in 1995ish. I was suppose to be a foster home, but alas 19 years later, my pudd’in and I were buds. She still played like a kitten and slept with me when I’m at my parents house up until passing.
Scooby- The family’s yellow laboratory retriever. Kyle really like watching the cartoon Scooby Doo. Kyle’s choices were Scooby Doo or Flame On (Torch from the fantastic four, again Kyle was a huge fan). He unanimously agreed to Scooby. We got him around 2006, Kyle held the puppy on his lap, bringing him to his permanent home.
Seven- The family’s black laboratory retriever. We adopted him from the pound. He was named seven by the pound because he has a white seven on his chest. To me it looks more like a question mark. He has adopted me as his sidekick, following me all around. Seven arrived around spring of 2010 and was already about 18 months old.
Storm- The newest member of the Piper family. She was founded by my friend Holly in Latrobe. I couldn’t resist the little grey tiger stripped cotton ball of fur. I brought her home on Friday 6/22/12, already being eight weeks old. Her birthday is around the first week of May, which Kyle and I agreed was May 1, 2012.
