Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

So much fun!

Hey, hey hey! It’s me, Penny, your adventure girl!

Want to go on a walk with me?

Well, I haven’t had many adventures lately but I’ve sure been having fun! Mom took me to the park last week and I wasn’t as afraid as the other time.

I didn’t even notice this snake when we walked by it. Mom kinda screamed though. Mom is a wimp.

Mom is noticing I am happiest when I’m out in the open where I can see the sky and not so happy when we’re in the woods where it’s dark and there are strange sounds.

I think I can handle this, mom!

But this is the second time we’ve been to this park and I liked it a whole lot better this time. I ran up and down the hills and explored lots more and mom says she was very happy with my ‘progress,’ whatever that means.

I even stopped to take a peaceful little breather on a big hill.

Then over the weekend my friend Lance and his sister Payton came to visit me! They brought their folks too and we all sat out on my deck.

Lance and I discussing our photo/treat ratio requirements.

I guess if I was honest there wasn’t a whole lot of sitting for me and Lance. We mostly chased each other around the deck. We had sooooo much fun! I’m as big as he is now and I can play just as hard!

We raced around and around that deck!

I tried to play with Payton (she’s my angel sister Katie’s half sister) but she told me off, so I went back to jump on Lance. The folks had to make us stop and rest cause we were all about the game.

Payton wasn’t in the mood.

I had so much fun with them that I had to sleep for an entire day after they went home. I think Lance and Payton probably slept too. Mom calls that recharging. I wonder what she’s talking about?

Aren’t we all just adorable?

Anyway, I know you like to hear what’s going on in my world, so I thought I’d stop by and give you an update. My Aunt is here right now, and I’m pretty busy entertaining her.

What’s your favorite toy today Aunt B?

Play, play, play, a sheltie-girl’s got to keep the fun coming all the time. It’s such a big responsibility, but I’m up for the task!

I get lots of hugs cause I’m so cute.

Talk later, people, I have to go get a toy for my Aunt so she doesn’t get bored!

Oh, and thanks to Lance’s parents for driving so Lance and Payton could come and play! We had so much fun.

Life is good!

I might need a little nap now, mom.

Your girl, Penny.

I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

  1. What a fantabulous playdate you had! You have to understand Payton; she’s not as young as you are.
    How wonderful to have your Aunt visiting and giving extra cuddles.
    Have a happy weekend (which I don’t doubt you will).

    • Oh Miss Dale, I’m having a wonderful weekend so far. OK, it’s only Saturday morning, but still it’s been great! I’ve made my mom and my aunt take me outside about a gazillion times so far today!

  4. It’s a dog’s life, and what a wonderful life it is! So fun to see those three Shelties together. I, too, would have screamed at the snake.

  6. Aw, Penny, thanks for sharing your day with us — it sounds fabulous (although I’m not a fan of snakes either!) Three Shelties lined in a row — what could be cuter? Penny, I’m so happy you’ve gotten as big as Lance so you can keep up with his antics. I suspect you have to give Payton the benefit of the doubt because she’s older, and some older dogs just don’t play the way they did when they were puppies. Love your photos — you’re turning into a real beauty, you know!
