A Message from Roger human father of Piper!
I wanted to make a post on your page and i cant send you a picture on this message either so think it may be something to do with your settings. I'll send it to you anyway but I really do think that this should be there for people to see.
for a long while when my son keagan was very sick piper was the only indication that we had that a grandmaul seizure was coming because she would be all over him "mothering" and wouldn't leave his side. I remember one time when the cat got a hairball she was very concerned and followed him around until it cleared.
two days ago I gave my pinky finger a pretty good Pinch and when Maggie, pipers daughter, noticed yesterday she was extremely focused on gently trying to remove the bandage I had applied, for a very long time, she would have succeeded eventually if I hadn't dismissed her. today when saying our goodmornings to each other. she smelled the wound again and started doing the same thing. and this time I took the hint and took the bandage off only to find that the wound was way too wet and showing the first signs of infection. she was extremely happy i removed the bandage and would have throughly cleaned it for me if id let her continue. if I had been more receptive to her yesterday I'd be in better shape then I am today. I have never encountered dogs like this and I thought piper was a one off, very unusual, very special dog. Maggie is the only pup of pipers that I've spent any real time with, and I can tell that she is an extremely special dog as well. it is my hope that at the very least, this message reaches Maggie's siblings people. I have no idea if this is just a super strong connection with our family and these dogs or if is a trait in the boundary line that may be noted by people receptive to what these dogs are telling us.
these really are wonderful dogs and for the role piper played in our family when our lives were turned upside-down with fear for our son, I never thought I could love a dog more. then Maggie came along.
thank you.
