Piper's paddling adventure!

Posted by Elizabeth Murphy

Welcome back to Piper’s Puppy Pen!

Your clever sponsor pup is continuing her training journey to become a life-changing hearing dog for her future deaf partner. And as Piper grows, so do her toys!

Piper may be getting bigger, but her days are still filled with adorable puppy antics, like playing hide and seek in a cardboard box!

And despite having a lovely dog bed, she often decides to take a nap in the most random places around the house…

… as long as you’re comfy, Piper!

In other news, Piper has discovered a new favourite pastime: the Piper Paddle! While out on a woodland walk, she encountered a shallow stream and had a brilliant time getting her paws wet and splashing around in the water.

Fun moments like this are all part of Piper’s training to explore the world in her own time and become confident with new experiences. Piper may encounter flowing water while out on a walk with her future deaf partner, so it’s great that she enjoyed her paddle!

While splashing about is great fun, flowing water can sometimes be unsafe, so Piper is learning to only go in when her volunteers give her the go-ahead. This helps encourage good listening skills and teaches Piper to think before she acts.

That’s all for today. We hope you’ve enjoyed catching up with your fun-loving sponsor pup.

Until next time, thank you so much for sponsoring Piper.
