My dog is the coolest because...
Piper is not just a dog—she is family, my heart, and one of the greatest gifts of my life. A rescue with a difficult beginning, she somehow became the one who rescued me. She has been by my side through every chapter, especially after my Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis, offering comfort without words and love without conditions. She always seemed to know exactly what I needed, often before I did.

Now 13 years old, Piper is slowing down. Walking is harder for her, but her soul remains gentle and strong. She loves to rest in front of the fireplace, warming her old bones, peaceful and content, soaking in the love she has always given so freely. Her natural ears, her quiet presence, and her unwavering devotion have filled our home with warmth in ways that can never be replaced.

Piper has lived a life of love, safety, and belonging—everything she deserved and more. She has been such a huge part of our lives, shaping our days, our hearts, and who we are. Saying goodbye feels impossible, but loving her has been one of the greatest honors of my life. She is, and always will be, the best dog ever—loved beyond measure, forever.
