Posted on August 15, 2025 By Sister Rain

Piper loves a bottle and immediately ran to the container of Tylenol that my husband set on the table where Piper was playing. Of course he can’t read the label (Piper, not my husband) but knowing he was hanging out by the headache medication got me wondering. What does Piper…

It is true that Piper can be playful and rambunctious but it is also a fact that he likes to sit with me on my shoulder or hand for long periods of time. On this particular day he climbed down my body from my left shoulder, stopping on my upper…

Posted on August 1, 2025 By Sister Rain

Even though I have a home office I mostly write at my dining room table adjacent to the living room. Some mornings when I come downstairs to start my day, due to weather conditions, closed window blinds or the early hour, it can be quite dark in both rooms. In…

Posted on July 18, 2025 By Sister Rain

Piper loves a plastic bag so a 310″ long , 7″ wide strip of plastic packing material sends him into a frenzy. I wrap it all around his play area (aka most of the living room) so that he can push and pull it until it falls to the floor….

This Some-Body Is A Some-Birdy

Posted on July 11, 2025 By Sister Rain

I read a quote that said “The reason why you feel so connected to your pets is because they were originally meant to be your children but there were no human bodies available when they incarnated so they came through in the form they could, just to be near you…

Posted on July 4, 2025July 4, 2025 By Sister Rain

Born and raised a Philadelphia Phillies fan, I was in elementary school when the Phanatic moved from the Galápagos Islands to become the mascot for the team in 1978.  Many people have pointed out that Piper has the same coloring as the Phanatic, green feathers with blue on their heads….

I never had a human child but as a youngster myself I remember being warned, more than once, about never putting a plastic bag over my head. Piper loves plastic bags. Always supervised, I sometimes allow him to play with them. And so when he climbed down my arm to…
