Penny’s First Day
Hello! Meet Penny, aka Ms. Moneypenny aka Penelope, our new family member and rescue dog. I have been way behind with reading my WordPress friend’s – foodie or otherwise – blogs due to this new adorable furkid.
She’s an unconfirmed Australian Shephard/Border Collie mix rescue dog, and full of energy as the day is long! She’s quite a hand-full and we are having to spend quite a bit of time acclimating her to her new environment and getting to know our beloved Hannah Banana rescue dog, who we’ve had since she was a year old. Hannah is almost 13 years old now, but it’s nice that the new kid on the block has a “mentor” so to speak to teach her manners and household rules. This new little ball of energy is a year and a half old, but has lots of training (and running) in her future.

Here is Penny on Day 2 after some exercise ~ Finally calmed down a tad.
I hope to get a new recipe up this weekend, but if I don’t, you’ll know why! 😀
She is so, so beautiful!! Have a feeling she will turn out to be a great dog….when grown and trained and learning what’s expected of her. I love her eyebrows!!!!

Penny is so adorable. I am sure she is going to love being a part of your family. Aren’t rescues so special. All of mine are, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Hugs to Penny and Hannah.

I am cat deprived. There is something so soothing about stroking an animal. They are also less complex.

🙂 Its good to shake up things a bit. Gibs is 11 and my sis just visited with her 4 month puppy – he was such a joy but at the end of the day I could tell Gibson had had enough…His ears were constantly wet from the pup mouthing them!
