Hi there!

My name is Pippa the Dog. But mostly everyone calls me Pip or Pips. Or sometimes Pippi or Poopsy or Pipster. Those last three are mostly just from Audrey. Audrey is my mom, but "she's not like a regular mom, she's a cool mom" so I call her by her first name. She's lending me the computer, and encouraging me to "pursue writing", so I'd agree that that's pretty cool. I love her.

I love a lot of things, actually. Which is what I've decided to blog about: "Pip's Favorite Things". But "The Pippa Papers" sounds better as a title, hence my ultimate decision. Hence is a fancy word, so I guess I'm well on my way to becoming a real writer.

You won't be meeting any of my favorite things in this post, though. Because first I've got to set the scene.

I'm about 3 years old, possibly 3.5. My documented birthday is July 4th, but that's just what the vet's office put on my file after they saw my adoption papers that said I was 3 years old. The shelter said that I am a Labrador--Schipperke mix, which could be the case. Audrey thinks that I am maybe an Australian Kelpie because she saw a dog on Dogspotting that looked like me and that was the dog's breed. All in all, not really important.

I've been best friends with Audrey for almost 7 months now, which is kind of crazy because I feel like I've known her my whole life. Humans are pretty cool.
