Little Piper's a hit,
and all she had to do
was act naturally! !!

Here's dear Piper, Satin's puppy, who was previously Midnight.

She was orignally placed in Mt. Kisco, NY, and was returned they said because their "cat ran away the day we adopted midnight and we haven't seen him since."

"Hmpf," said Midnight, as she trotted off to Will and Cat's house -- a true forever home --

-- and for good measure, she even had them change her name to "Piper" -- which fits her just fine!

Here she is, meeting her new momma, Cat -- Will and Cat are newlyweds, and they love little Piper!

Always the highlight of a home-visit -- a new collar!

... and her collar fits her perfectly, making her look like a princess, accenting her sleek black coat -- !!

Motherly love can't be beat -- !!

Here, Piper meets her new sister, Cheyenne, a rescue herself, and a real lady -- !!

So there we have it -- a happy, loving family -- complete with baby!

Fast forward a month, and little Piper has grown, filling out in to a darling young lady!

Will writes:

"Her and Cheyenne are quite the duo, and as I had wanted to see, Cheyenne's maternal instincts truly shine. Piper does everything her sister does. She's a handful and loves ripping apart boxes and paper towels and enjoys her saturday and sunday trips to Cranbury Park. She is definitely getting much bigger!!!"

So there she is, miles from the New Haven shelter, where she was a surrender in utero, with her momma, Satin.

Satin now enjoys her days in RI, at her adoptive home, and little Piper, it's quite obvious, lives the life of a princess!

THANK YOU, Will and Cat, to starting your new life together with this little princess -- she will return the favor with years of love and joy!

One year - Fall, 2005!

Well, you can see our little lady Piper has been spending the past year in absolute bliss...

Her Dad writes --

"I thought I would send you some pics of Piper now that she is almost a year!
Someone is getting a big steak on saturday (Sept 17)!

Thanks again...we really love her lots.

Hope this finds you well.

Will & Cat"

-- GREAT WORK, Will and Cat -- keep her pretty and keep us updated -- !!
