I got to wondering how old Piper really is, so I called our old Vet back in Driggs, ID and spoke with Page. Piper was micro-chipped as a kitten by her original owner Megan at that location and we continued taking her there once she became ours.

Piper showed up at our door on Friday, June 17, 2011 (it pays to have a Blog). According to the records that Page just emailed me, she was born 16 years, 5 months, and 2 weeks ago on Sep 12, 2005. So she has been in my life for almost eleven years.

I have hundreds of photos and videos of her but here's one I found after she had been around for a year: Pipes Under Jack.
