Penny

 When Daisy died I vowed I was done with pets.  I was toooooo attached and it took me SO LONG to recover.  The guilt and sadness consumed me.  The Covid 19 Pandemic and being quarantined didn't help. But I knew I couldn't do it again.  My heart was broken.  I was embarrassed to admit just how hard the loss of Daisy was for me.  It's a dog not a person but she was my person and I was sad.

Our good friends, Dave and Lynnie Johnson, had puppies June 21st.  Shorkiepoos.  They had four  - three boys and a girl.  Lynnie reached out.  I didn't even reply.  We love female pups and I know the girls for first and fast.  I said if I ever did this again, I wanted a bigger dog.  Shorkiepoos are small.


She posted on her social media each time she gave her puppies to their new owners.  Then I saw her in Walmart.  We exchanged pleasantries and then I asked about her puppies.  She said she had one left and asked if I was interested.  I told her we only do girl dogs and I am sure she went first.  Dot, their only female puppy was the only one left.  I was shocked.  

I asked if I could borrow her for 30 minutes to see if it was even a possibility.  We followed her home and took Dot for a play date. 

We fell in love!

I was leaving for Colorado with Kenzie.  Hayden was going to football twice a day.  Aaron was at work.  I knew Mackay wanted her and assured me he could handle her alone, but we knew it would overwhelm him.  Lynnie kept Dot while I was out of town and we picked her up on the way home from the airport.



We welcomed Penny Lou into our family August 19.  She is healing my heart.
