On Saturday morning, we met up with Ellen and Quinn!
piper
Ellen couch-crashed on Friday night! We awoke to the very first sunny, spring-like day of the year. Couch-crew awaiting our delivered Thai feast!
piper
...and I gave our remaining houseguest a bath!
piper
Pauly was back in town visting and stopped by on Saturday.
piper
Amanda came over on Friday. Double-dog armrests!
piper
Piper supervised the eating process.
piper
On Thursday night Ellen came over for a home cooked meal (and to drop Piper off with us for a few days!)
piper
...after Maddy was finished kissing her face...
piper
Prefers naps to arts and crafts.
piper
...but do you have any idea when MY MOM IS COMING HOME?
piper
Not that I don't appreciate everything you guys are doing for me...
piper
Ugly in the morning!
piper
Then I gave this pig-belly that we were dog-sitting a bath!
piper
And we stayed up late looking at photos on my computer. Ellen gets tired waiting two years for me to post photos on this site, so sometimes when she's over she likes to get a sneak peeks into what's coming down the line (eventually). Hahah.
piper
Lap dog.
piper
Maddy and Piper hiding out on the couch...
piper
After they got back later that evening, we watched Stefon SNL clips and gorged ourselves on COOKIES! (Peanut butter cookies with a Hershey kiss on top are my FAVORITE!)
piper
Admiring our dog collection with hot chocolate.
piper
Later that evening, Ellen came over for a hang. We fed her lots of home cooked food and then settled in for...
piper
On Wednesday morning Ellen came over early before work to drop off Piper with us for a few days.
piper
HI. HAS SEEN MY MOM?
piper
We stuffed the dogs in bags...
piper
Hoping for crumbs.
piper
Double-stacked buddies. Haha.
piper
Where my dogs at?
piper
Conked.
piper
Oh yeah, free Bloody Marys too.
piper
Ellen , Piper and Mer.
piper
These two were on dropped pizza-topping patrol.
piper
NO HANDFACE.
piper
In other news, Leigh discovered that Piper doesn't like HANDFACE one bit!
piper
TIME FOR CRANIUM TEAM PHOTOS!!!! Team 1: Fatty, Karen and Jared opted for "Family Portrait with Hounds!"
piper
Team 2: Mark, Ellen and myself went with "Party, No Relax."
piper
On Friday night, we had a bunch of people over our place to play Cranium. Look, it's a dog...with a bow tie!
piper
Owww-ooooooo!
piper
...Ellen and Matt! Full house!
piper
Piper trying her hardest to walk through the long, shag carpet. Haha.
piper
Dog buds.
piper
Ellen, Kaitie and LASER EYES.
piper
Puppy bellies!
piper
Later that evening, Ellen brought Piper over to meet Maddy.
piper
Peanut Butter Dreams (while wearing a little neckerchief!).
piper
Happy Birthday, Ellen! We love you! Check out how zonked out Piper is.
piper
The party awaiting the return of...
piper
Piper loves peanut butter.
piper
Haha.
piper
We decided to give her a little bit of peanut butter and then take pictures of her huge tongue!
piper
With Ellen out of commission, Piper was left in our charge.
piper
Piper's tongue is so large she has trouble keeping it in her mouth.
piper
The wreath we'd taped to our door fell off and it was sitting in this chair. Piper discovered it there and turned the wreath into a feathery little dog nest!
piper
Pah-thetic.
piper
Hahah. On Sunday night Ellen came over with Piper. Piper's tongue is too long to fit in her mouth so it always peeks out.
piper
On Saturday night Ellen came over! Happy September 2008!
piper
Piper!
piper
While Meredith sat on the couch, all of the roof guests quietly sneaked into the apartment but stayed by the door out of Meredith's sight. With everyone in place, I took a deep breath and tried to pretend that I was just casually joining her on the couch. As soon as I sat down next to her, the noisy party instantly went completely silent and Meredith noticed that everyone at the entire party was looking at the two of us and aiming cameras at us. Before she could ask what was happening, I asked "Remember four years ago when you asked me out on this couch?"
piper
Meredith, Siege and Piper (and Vince in the background).
piper
Dog in a bag! Dog in a bag!
piper
NOSE BATH! Hahaha.
piper
Grazing her top lip!
piper
Hahaha. Piper is the tiniest dog with the biggest tongue you've EVER seen. Seriously, her tongue is so big that when she has her mouth closed her tongue sticks out because it's too big to fit in her mouth! Here are a bunch of pictures of Leigh trying to get a funny picture of Piper's tongue out without actually getting licked by it.
piper
Zooming in on the mouth!
piper
Ellen trying out the drink hat.
piper
Ellen was there with Piper (who looks like she's trying to nurse in this photo! Ew!)
piper
Happy Birthday, Ellen! We love you!
piper
Look at me totally off my mark! I was pulling my best tough guy face when everyone else had clearly decided (even Piper!) that it was a cute and cuddly moment. Check out Piper's tongue! As soon as we saw it sticking out in this photo, we decided to play our favorite Piper-game...
piper
...which is called GOT YOUR TONGUE.
piper
Pipes in the corner making friends.
piper
Here's Ellen a couple minutes later after she'd gotten all settled in (Drink. Hair Pulled Back. Dog Unpacked).
piper
I love how Piper looks all cute and frisky in this photo...
piper
...and totally passed out in a food coma in this one. "Rub. My. Belly. *groan*"
piper
Then on Tuesday night, Ellen and Piper came over. Our official first guests in the new apt!
piper
Ellen gives the thumbs up as Hector gives Piper's B-hole a deep sniffing! Haha.
piper
Someone who came to the party drew Ellen this amazing picture of Piper as a puppy! (This is my favorite photo of Ellen in the whole wide world!)
piper
Meredith stuck her tongue out to do an impression of Piper and right when I snapped the picture, Piper (who is a notorious face-licker) saw Meredith's tongue sticking out and WENT FOR IT! Hahaha. I love this photo soooo much.
piper
Here's Meredith enjoying Piper's cornchip-scented ears. Mmmmmmm! Piper has the longest tongue in the world. When she closes her mouth, the tip of her tongue is always peeking out because it's too big to fit in her mouth!
piper
Ellen and Piper.
piper
Piper wasn't very happy about the placement of her backstage pass...
piper
...until Ellen turned it into a little VIP hat!
piper
And then Meredith threw her keyster into the mix!
piper
Jenny and Piper both did their sexy tiger poses too! (Look how Piper's putting her little tiger paw in the air! Hahaha)
piper
There were even all sorts of special "rock star" amenities. Like the raised "fuck me" stage that the bed was on!
piper
Nom! Nom! Dog ear!
piper
Ratso wanted to meet Piper but Piper was too scared of her! Hahaha.
piper
Piper was there doing her thing. Walking across the game board...
piper
...showing off her doggy-dingus. You know, the usual.
piper
Piper's tongue is too big for her mouth and so it's always peeking out. Heartbreaking.
piper
Later that night we tried to get Meredith to come out with us, but she had a bunch of homework to do for school. So she decided to stay out home with Piper the Laser-Eyed Chiuaua (who we were taking care of for Ellen).
piper
There were lots o' dogs.
piper
Sean Dack and Piper!
piper
And they both ran over to wish the birthday girl a happy birthday!
piper
So was Piper!
piper
And the tongue comes out on take two!
piper
Ellen was there (but for some reason, I only have pictures she took of me with her dog)! Here's me with Piper (in the only shot where her tongue's NOT sticking out.
piper
Piper the beleaguered pooch eventually found safe-haven in mom's lap.
piper
...she came over to rest her little chinny-chin on my leg before ultimately...
piper
Piper Incognito.
piper
...conking the fuck out on the grass.
piper
All of the puppy-bullying tired Piper out right-quick and a few minutes later...
piper
As "those two" got closer, we realized it was Ellen and Leigh and that we'd just been busted checking out our own friends! Ellen was there with Piper...
