Change Is Hard

…but change is certain.

Another boyfriend?

33 Comments

Hi everybody! It’s me, Penny!

You know there are three boy dogs in my neighborhood that walk by my driveway almost every day. Personally I think they do that just to catch a glimpse of beautiful me.

These are a couple of my neighborhood boyfriends.

And I have had a couple playdates with Lance, a very handsome sheltie-boy who is about six months older than me. I think he likes me too.

I’m kinda sweet on my boyfriend, Lance, too.

And just this week mom arranged for me to meet Levi, a four year old sheltie who lives about an hour away from me.

This is my boyfriend Levi! Isn’t he a handsome boy?

Levi and I met at a fenced in dog playground in his neighborhood. The moms picked the coolest day of the week because, as you know, shelties are always wearing a heavy coat.

It’s so much fun to run free!

At first Levi and I weren’t sure about each other. He wasn’t sure he wanted me in his territory, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to be there either. He’s a lot bigger than me!

He can’t catch me! Well, he wasn’t really trying to catch me…

In fact mom said this is the first time I looked small!

Something smells good under here. Plus there’s shade.

But eventually, when mom broke out the frissbee we started to have some fun. Levi just loved my frissbee and I chased him while he chased it.

Levi has a beautiful coat!

After a little bit of running around we settled in a corner where there was some shade. Even at 68 degrees it was pretty hot. While the moms were talking I’d sort of peek around from behind mom’s legs and get Levi’s attention.

Time for some shade and a drink!

Then I’d race off and hide behind the slide and just dare him to chase me. Yep, I pretended I didn’t want to play and then I’d egg him on. I’m very skilled at being a tease.

Ha ha, got you to run Levi!

We didn’t run around too much, because of the heat, but we’re going to get together again when it’s cooler outside.

Running is just the best fun!

When we meet again we’ll be more comfortable, cause we’ll already know each other. Levi’s mom says he went home and took a nap. I went home and bugged my parents for the rest of the day.

Catch me if you can, Levi!

I guess I got a little wound up.

Thanks, Levi, for inviting me to play at your park!

Talk later, your most alluring sheltie-girl, ruler of all boy dogs…

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.

    • Yes, I have to give her credit for arranging all my play dates. Sometimes I have to give her a hard time to get her moving, but really I think she has a good time when we hang out with other dogs and their folks too!

  11. Well, you are a looker, so no wonder the boy dogs are lining up to see you Penny. I like the ramp with the dog bones on it. Talk about a fun dog park. That was beautiful weather and I enjoyed it too.

    What a great dog park. I’ve never seen anything so adorable. So many dog parks around here are just fenced in dirt 😀 You and Levi look like wonderful playmates. I’d love to come and watch ❤

  13. Hi Dawn, Hi Penny ~ we’re new here, just hopped over from Levi’s blog (we’ve known and loved Caren for years) … your photos, your post is just wonderful. As we said over there, even tho we are a cat blog … seeing dogs at play just warms my heart, and your two shelties together were just amazing to watch. Do hope they can enjoy one another again. Thanks for sharing.
