As Pipers health declines Bentleys empathy for him increases. They have become an inseparable bonded pair. #capcut #pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #CapCut #bondedpair

🎄 Holiday Party 2024: The First Annual “Self-Employed Edition” 🎄 This year marks my first holiday season without a corporate holiday party. After being unexpectedly laid off last month at the age of 61.5, there was no sparkly invitation to a grand event, no awkward small talk with coworkers, and no question of whether to bring a Secret Santa gift or just wing it. Instead, I decided to do something even better: celebrate with my family and the employees of my budding social media empire. Meet my dedicated team: • Piper: Senior Statesman and VP of Snacks (always demands royal treatment and reminds me daily who’s really in charge). • Bentley: Head of Security and Emotional Support (keeps everyone in line but still pouts when he doesn’t get extra treats). • Turtle: New Hire and Resident Mascot (quiet, hardworking, and a big fan of slow and steady wins the race). Tonight, we celebrated our financial independence, gave thanks for our blessings, and toasted to a 2025 filled with aspiration and action. And while this chapter of my life wasn’t in the five-year plan, it’s quickly proving to be the most fulfilling. If you’re navigating a season of unexpected change, remember: sometimes, losing one path is how we find another. And in my case, that new path involves being my own boss—with a management team that works for belly rubs. Here’s to creating new traditions, appreciating what we have, and showing up for the people (and pets!) that matter most. Happy Holidays from my small but mighty empire to yours. 🐾🎉 #pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #holiday #holidayparty #corporateparty #dogparty

Last year, we celebrated Piper’s 17th birthday, calling it a miracle. This past Saturday, we celebrated his 18th—and there are no words to describe how lucky we feel. Piper’s health has been declining, but his incredible will to live continues to inspire me every day. For two years, I’ve cherished each moment as if it might be our last, yet here we are again, filled with cautious optimism that he might just surprise us all and make it another year. I also want to take a moment to thank all of you—Piper’s incredible community—for the love, support, and kind comments you’ve shared with us over the years. Your encouragement has lifted us during the hardest times and made the good moments even sweeter. Piper and I are forever grateful. #Pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #SeniorDogLove #18YearsYoung #MiracleDog #BlindAndDeafButStillStrong #DogInspiration #CherishedMoments #LivingEachDay #SeniorDogJourney #LoveKnowsNoAge #CelebratingPiper #GratefulHeart #ResilientSpirit #PiperTurns18

Every homecoming tells a story of unconditional love 💕 In this short clip, Bentley (our 3-year-old bundle of energy) can’t contain his excitement when Mommy comes home—bouncing, wagging, and showering her with joy. Meanwhile, Piper, our sweet 18-year-old senior who is blind, deaf, and living with dementia, moves slowly and carefully, but his love is just as profound. Their greetings may look different, but the love behind them is the same: pure and unconditional. 💖🐾 #DogsOfInstagram #SeniorDogLove #UnconditionalLove #LifeWithBentleyAndPiper ##pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok

🎉 Piper Turns 18! 🎉 Last Saturday, my incredible senior dog Piper hit a milestone that’s nothing short of miraculous—he turned 18 years old! ❤️ Last Christmas Eve, I sat with him, heart heavy, convinced that Christmas 2023 would likely be his last. His health seemed so fragile, and every day felt borrowed. Fast forward almost a year, and here we are, just 45 days away from Piper celebrating his 18th Christmas. It’s hard to put into words what this feels like. Piper has faced every challenge—blindness, deafness, and fading memory—with the quiet resilience that only a senior dog can show. And yet, here he is, still by my side, proving that every day is a gift. I feel like the luckiest dog dad in the world to share this journey with him. Piper, you’ve taught me what love, patience, and gratitude really mean. Here’s to celebrating you, your strength, and every precious moment we have left together. 💕🐾 Drop a comment and send Piper some love for this amazing milestone! 🎄✨ #pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #christmas #doglife #mansbestfriend

Tomorrow, my sweet Piper turns 18. Three years ago, I never would have imagined we’d get here, and yet, here we are. Over the years, you’ve watched him grow older, face new challenges, and somehow keep finding his way through it all. From losing his teeth to his hearing and sight, and now living with dementia, Piper has shown us resilience, patience, and a kind of wisdom only age can bring. Just yesterday, I saw him basking in a sliver of sunlight, looking so peaceful, almost angelic. Through the camera lens, he seemed to glow with all the colors of the rainbow, a beautiful reminder of his light and spirit. I wondered, was it a sign, his way of saying goodbye, or just a perfect, quiet moment? Whatever it was, it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever. Here’s to my fighter, my inspiration, and to one more year of Piper being Piper. #Pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #angel #dog #dogbirthday

Replying to @jeannie Ever met someone who really hates change? Multiply that by 10, and you’ll get my senior dog Piper. At nearly 18 years old, this sweet soul resists change like it’s his full-time job. Piper’s world has become all about predictability—no detours, no new routes, just a familiar, comforting routine he can rely on. And honestly, I get it. Senior dogs, especially those who are blind and deaf like Piper, depend on consistency for a sense of security. Their routines give them a way to navigate a world that’s already so unpredictable. It’s a reminder that, sometimes, the little things we take for granted—like a walk down the same path or finding the food bowl in the same spot—are huge victories for them. So here’s to Piper, the routine-loving, change-resisting, sweetest senior I know. ❤️ #SeniorDogLife #RoutineMatters #ResistingChange #LifeWithPiper #pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok

🎉 Next week, our incredible Piper turns 18! 🎉 For a senior blind and deaf pup, this milestone is a testament to his strength and resilience. In recent months, we’ve noticed some changes. Despite memorizing the house so well, Piper’s memory has started to fade, and he’s been getting stuck in little corners or behind furniture. Sometimes, he’ll pause in a room, unsure of where to turn next, his familiar paths feeling foreign. 💔 But, no matter how lost he feels, Piper’s spirit is unbreakable. Every day he reminds us of the beauty of patience, kindness, and unwavering determination. We’re here to guide him, just as he’s always been here for us. 💖 Happy almost-18th, Piper. Here’s to more love, more cuddles, and more time together. 🐾 #capcut #pipertheminpin #dogdaddy #dogdad #piperstong #minpinsoftiktok #minpins #minpin #frostedface #minpinsoftiktok💕 #dogsoftiktok #minaturepincher #seniordogsoftiktok #dogdementia #agingdog #frostedfaces #dogs #dogsnamedpiper #blinddogsoftiktok #CapCut
