Piper 090411

Too big to completely crawl into her condo tube anymore, Piper still likes to reach her front half through it to play with Mommy. My wife Pam (her Mommy) likes to dangle the 'fish on a stick' toy in front of her while in this position. We think that Piper believes that she has crawled through a tunnel that opens to a different world with soft, furry things on a stick and oddly-familiar characters in the foreground.


While in this position, Piper spies a wayward bug that made its way into our duplex from letting Zoe, our one yr-old Boston Terrier, in and out to search out rabbit droppings, er, I mean, do her business.


Eventually, Piper tires of her condo tube and retreats to the penthouse above. Ever watchful, she becomes engaged in catching the worrisome bug that has entered her world. Pupils agape, she sizes up the possibility of pouncing.
