According to Margaret’s mother, Maggie, “Margaret adores him, and he is very protective over her! Henry was an only child until Margaret came along, and he adapted so well to the new addition!” BABY BEN AND DOGS, PIPER AND ALICE Life is golden in the Curran household with Piper and Alice around, always keeping Ben entertained and happy. Piper, an 11-year-old rescue from Grateful Goldens, was adopted by Adam and Claire Curran just before Ben arrived. They have had 3-year-old Alice since she was a puppy. Most mornings, Alice hops in the car to go to work with Adam, while Piper stays home to tend to Ben. “Piper is the maternal one,” joked Claire.
