More: Pippin's full name is Peregrin Took Tanenbaum Cross (after the most mischievous hobbit in the Lord of the Rings books). He was born on our wedding day and we brought him home right after my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our first child. Pippin ("Pip" for short) is extremely smart, loyal, cuddly, and social. He loves to play with any dog or person and is always gentle with our baby boy, Rory. His favorite job at home is carrying paper or plastic items to the recycling bins in our garage!
