Fairy Tales

Penny found me at the shelter in September of 2007. I had just moved to the area and was living on my own for the first time. I had been thinking about getting a pet to keep me company, but I had not made any definite decisions. I went to the shelter that day for a meeting and to tour the facility. I had heard about a litter of puppies that had recently come in, but not yet found homes. When we passed by the cage they were in, my tour guide asked if I wanted to see one. I immediately pointed out this female puppy that was jumping around all of the others. I picked her up and she started licking my face, and then fell asleep in my arms. That was it; I was in love, and there was no way that I could ever leave her at the shelter. I adopted her that day and took her home a few days later. She is now a huge bundle of energy and I love coming home to her enthusiastic greetings every evening. She is the best running partner I have ever had, and is becoming an accomplished agility dog. I look forward to many more active years with my crazy, happy, excited Penny!
