Pyper is my new dog: a great pure-bred collie. I've wanted a dog of my own for a long time. In October 1998, Pyper, formally named "Can. Ch. Ennismoor Remembrance", arrived. He forgives for verbal misspellings of his name such as "piper".

In the following sections, each paragraphs is an individual vignette, ordered in chronological sequence, about all the dog things that happened to us since.
