The Screams Are Coming From Inside The House
It is NEVER a good idea to bring a feathered or furry friend into your family by way of an impulsive decision. There are many horror stories about the novelty of the new addition wearing off. One that comes to mind is bunnies purchased at Easter, only to be dumped…
Piper: The Gift That Keeps On Giving
I am often asked what I get Piper for Christmas and the answer is nothing. Believe me when I say he has everything he needs and then some, all provided throughout the year. This does not mean, however, that Piper doesn’t get to participate in Christmas. He loves wrapping paper….

Piper Pop Up
