Piper was fascinated with the smells and sights of the Smoky Mountains.

Most of the time he was curious, but quiet…with one exception.

He did get a little vocal when he got wind of this guy.
Since he has grown up around the still waters of ponds and lakes,

the rushing water of mountain streams was unfamiliar but interesting…

especially when it churned up a foam.

He likes doing the stuff that we like…walking out onto rocks in the middle of streams, and

climbing up to little waterfalls.

We had a blast watching him. He’s grown – and grown up – so much. It’s hard to believe that this week marked a year

since we brought him home.
