This spring the budding flowers and vegetable garden greenery of New Albany look much less chewed than in the past. Knowledgeable observers attribute the change to the fearsome bunny-hunting team of Kasey and Penny. Rabbits throughout the neighborhood cower in fear when this formidable pair steps outside on their latest expedition. They know that the [...]

The Penny Chronicles
Posted in Dogs, Humor, Penny on May 19, 2012 | 1 Comment »
Today the old boring guy took Kasey and me for a walk. It was too hot for a walk. It was way, way too hot! The sun made it too hot. The sidewalk made it too hot. The fast walks of Kasey and the old boring guy made it too hot. And every time I [...]
Dogs At The Dawn Of Mankind

Tens of thousands of years ago, both humans and Neanderthals walked the Earth. Humans, obviously, survived. Neanderthals — except to the extent they mated with humans and left their genes behind — didn’t. Why did one humanoid species thrive, and the other fail? New theories posit that the domestication of dogs was a significant part [...]

Penny and Kasey seem to be getting along very well together. They keep each other company during the day when we are away and keep each other warm while dozing on the couch in our living room.
Happy Dogs In The Sun

It’s a beautiful day today — perfect for some much needed yard work. I brought Penny and Kasey out with me, and they lolled on the cool green (but weed-filled) grass, enjoying the bright sunshine and the neighborhood doings as I worked.

My name is Penny. Every morning the old boring guy and Kasey and I go for our walk. When that happens, Kasey runs all over the place. She’ll go take a sniff by that tree, then race across the path to take a good whiff of a fire hydrant. Of course, I can’t blame her [...]
Spring Fever

Today we had an absolutely flawless afternoon in Columbus. The temperature touched the low 70s, the sunshine was dazzling, and everywhere you could feel the spring fever. Penny and Kasey had it on our walk this evening — and so did I. The blissful expression on Kasey’s face as she happily rolled in the green [...]

My name is Penny. What’s with this new member of the pack? She’s not even housebroken. I’m not kidding! I walk around the house during the day, and find her accidents. It’s embarrassing to any self-respecting dog. I’m hoping Kasey gets with the program here. Otherwise, the old boring guy is always going to be [...]

I never thought I would live in a two-dog household . . . but now I do. At every dinner I endure the plaintive looks of hungry dogs — and we experience another episode of pooches doing whatever they can to get noticed and be rewarded with a morsel from the table. With dogs to [...]
Two-Dog Walking

Dogs, like people, move at different speeds. If you don’t believe me, take Penny and Kasey on a walk some time. Penny is like an ocean liner. She typically moves in straight lines and at a steady pace. Kasey is like a speedboat. She darts in and out, back and forth, moving quickly from one [...]

My name is Penny. Who the heck is this Kasey? Seriously! One day she showed up, and now she acts like part of the pack. She stays with the rest of us. She walks with me and the old boring guy in the morning. She gets attention from the Leader, too. No one asked me [...]

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!
