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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

I guess I got a little wound up.

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

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!
