Penny decided to help me wrap presents. I had to tell her I didn't need the wrapping paper licked.

I'm sorry the day was rough. Here is a donut who likes to snuggle with a squishy pillow. Sending good vibes too.

My Mom bought a double lounge chair to share with Penny. She found that her large recliner was a bit tight with 77lbs of lapdog. They can share this one, but Mom loses her spot when she needs a potty break. Penny has no remorse.

Penny had a friend over tonight. It was my first time being alone with 170lbs of dog for a play date. They worked on their interpretive dance routine for a while.

The sportsball did not finish as I wanted, but oh boy, did everyone give it their all. Penny survived and got sweet potato snax, freeze-dried sardines, and some of my cheesies. She's safe until spring because I don't follow the icy sportsball.

Penny has a VIP seat to the game - 90 minutes north of the city with cheaper snax.

I really hope that Blowhole isn't offering online courses in auto maintenance. Penny is thoroughly inspecting my car.

My Mom has enough stuff, so for her birthday gift, I booked a 90-minute cruise for the family near my brothers' cottage. We were rewarded with perfect weather.

Between visits to my local fair, I spent the weekend cleaning and reorganizing my kitchen. It was exhausting for Penny. (Her food has not been moved - my folks are going to have to adapt to the coffee maker and sugar having new homes, but I wouldn't do that to Penny.)

Penny recommends digging in the mud if you're looking for a relaxing activity today.

Happy Friday. My mom finally left for her long weekend to visit her best friend in rural QC. My SIL stopped in this morning, & we took Penny for a walk. Penny wondered where Auntie Jennifer was when we did out after work walk. My SIL brought a 5' stick for Penny because she is awesome.

I just started a full week of vacation. The first part will be puttering at home, and then I have a small road trip to catch up with friends from university. It's my 1st Summer vacation in 4 years, so I'm very excited. Almost as excited as Penny is now that we restocked he favourite liver snax.

She says thanks back. She can make her big stick into little sticks while I make sure the BBQ doesn't have a fire.

A year ago, we had just started looking at shelter postings when this pretty girl showed up in my feed. We met her the following week, and Penny (formerly Buttercup) moved home that weekend.

Penny is afraid she will never get a lunchtime walk again. It is 35C, so we are sticking with early morning and late night walks (she gets backyard potty breaks in the day, but we have to coax her back in with a treat so she doesn't bake out there).

Here is a happy Penny having a car ride after her walk.

I cannot win with this girl. I'm holding her lead so she has free range of the shady deck, and she finds a loophole.

All Penny wants to do is bake her head in the sun, and her mean human is making her stay in the shade. We have a tiny breeze on the deck, so it is very nice right now.

She is good. Being the head of our neighbourhood watch is a big job, but she is up to the task.

If they are opening it to all breeds, Penny is in. She loves to pull and is excellent at eating, sleeping, and pooping. She can borrow my sleeping bag.
