Hi,
I'm Penny. I was adopted ten years ago by a rescue shelter when I wandered
into a police station. They say I was also abused before that, and for sure I
don't like thunderstorms and hide in the bathroom. Because I was on the
streets for so long, I don't get along with most other dogs unless I meet them
as a puppy and they learn I'm the boss.
I am famous and even have my own fan page on facebook. In the winter I love to
say "I have to go outside!" and barking at the door, then playing in the snow
and coming back in to get a treat even though I am not food driven. Even
though I'm old, my mom says "Penny, Search and rescue" and then I go into my
puppy's room and wake her up. (That's Erika, she's technically human, but I
think of her as my puppy.) And if I cannot see her head, I paw at the covers
then lick her face. She is really my sister and I have lots of siblings -
Pikachu the rabbit who is also around my age (ten to twelve years old), and I had two
brothers. Jerry and Jasper, recently died, Jerry actually died this summer and
Jasper died on the 7th of December. For a while I would not go in their room,
but would watch my mom clean Pikachu's cage and sit outside the door and cry.
We have had lots of animals in the house and they have all passed away except
for Pikachu, he's the oldest out of everyone, even older than me.
I still have a few friends I like to play with and they are Venus the boxer,
Luna and Stella the beagles, and I have my friend Casey the Golden Retriever
that lives next to my grandparents but I havent seen her in years. This goes
to show you even sad stories can end happy. My family loves me and I get
spoiled, my family is known as Penny's Pack to some people. I wanted to thank
Cathy for letting me into the shelter back then even though I didn't get along
with any of the other dogs. I put was in a cage by myself. And I thank my
family for feeding me and taking care of me and providing the love and care I
need, and my sister/puppy Erika for nominating me! My life is good.
