My name is Penny. There is a black cat with a cut-off tail who lives nearby. Some days he will come up to our door and look right in the window. The nerve of that guy! Then he trots over to a tree and scratches his claws on the bark, and he goes to the [...]

My name is Penny. When the Leader is here, she usually sits on my favorite chair. When the Leader sits there, I sit on the floor next to the Leader. I always like to be near the Leader when she is here. I guess that is why she is the Leader. When the Leader is [...]
The Demure Ms. Penny

Last night when Kish and I walked into the family room we found our very modest dog in this very ladylike posture, as if she were getting ready to participate in a very proper British tea party. It made us both laugh out loud. Never let it be said that Penny is anything but genteel!

My name is Penny. This week I had the best day ever. The Leader had a big bone. She could have kept it all for herself. That is what I would have done. But the Leader gave the bone to me. That is why I love the Leader! When I get a bone, I start [...]

My name is Penny. The white stuff is here! The white stuff is here! Today, when the old boring guy took me for a walk, the white stuff was on the ground. I love it when the white stuff is on the ground. I see tracks, and I stick my nose down deep into the [...]

My name is Penny. Lately I’ve been away from other members of the pack. When that happens, I stay with a new pack at a big farm. They feed me at the farm and wash me, too. Every day I go out into a big yard and play with the others. It’s not bad, really [...]
Sunglasses, By The Masses

Yesterday Kish and I were at a store and she bought two new pairs of sunglasses. It’s a familiar scene. By my rough estimate, with these two new additions, Kish has now owned 3,461 pairs of sunglasses during our years of wedded bliss. Unfortunately, the life spans of those unlucky eyewear items tend to be [...]
The Things We Do For Our Dogs

You wake up and feel pretty good. You walk downstairs, look outside, and see that it’s windy and raining, fat raindrops blowing sideways. Ugh. Penny is up and alert in her crate, famished and aching to be fed. You put out food, and she bolts it down with gusto. In the meantime you conclude that [...]

My name is Penny. When I get back from the morning walk, I go upstairs to see the Leader. Sometimes I jump into bed. Other times, I am thirsty. When I am thirsty, I go into the water room. I like the water room. It is a quiet place. My claws click on the tiles. [...]

My name is Penny. Every morning the old boring guy feeds me, then we go for a walk. We always walk the same path, every morning. Every morning! Why? Don’t look at me! Why do you think I call him the old boring guy? As we walk, I try to smell as many things as [...]
A Dog-Swan Encounter

On this morning’s walk Penny and I noticed that the swan who cruises regally on the number 5 north pond was right next to the boardwalk. As I stopped to take a picture of this beautiful creature, Penny decided to take a closer look — and then the fun began. Penny stuck her head under [...]

My name is Penny. Yesterday was the greatest day ever. I mean it! Young Master is back. The Wrestler is back. Our place was filled with new members of the pack. And there was so much food! There was food everywhere. Crumbs were on the floor, and I ate them all. I found plates I [...]

My name is Penny. There are only three in our pack now. Young Master is gone. The Wrestler is gone. There is just the Leader, me, and the old boring guy. Sometimes the Leader leaves, too. I will check the place where the Leader likes to sit. When she isn’t there, I know I am [...]
