February's Dog of the Month - Piper

Picking each month’s Dog of the Month winner can be a little arbitrary. Which dog sticks out the most in my mind? Was their a dog with a cute story or picture to highlight? This month, there was a clear winner…. Piper!
Piper first started daycare here in January. She didn’t particularly like any of the staff, and wanted very little to do with any of the dogs. She was happy to freeze her butt off outside by herself, or hide away in a corner under the A-frame.

Over the last 2 months we’ve seen daily improvement in her attitude her at daycare. She started spending more time out from under the stairs, mingling with the dogs. Then one day she came running up to one of the staff, jumping up and licking her face. We were shocked! She slowly started coming out of her shell, playing with other dogs, and making attempts to be friendly with us.

Today was her best day yet. She spent hours playing with 3 other dogs in the backyard. They completely ignored me when I tried to call them back inside. They raced and wrestled and never seemed to wear themselves out. We were so proud of her!
