Happy New Year!

Penny here.

As you can see it’s already January 4th and mom hasn’t posted since Christmas! When I decided to adopt my parents I didn’t realize that I’d have to do everything around here!

Anyway, I didn’t want you all to think we aren’t thinking about you, and reading your blogs and stuff, so I hopped on here to bring you up to date. (OK. I just hopped on here cause I like the attention. I really have no idea what’s going on!)

My dog mom, me, and my dog mom’s bff.

All I know is that mom and dad had some stuff to do and they asked my breeder if I could go live with her for a few days and she (of course, cause she loves me) said yes!

In fact she said she would be more than happy to have me visit because she has a new puppy named Sarah, who is my niece, and she thought we might like to play together. And maybe then Sarah would quit bugging her mom to play all day.

This is my niece Sarah. She’s 6 months old and she’s a pistol!

Well! I am nothing if not willing to play all day!

And so, my breeder tells my mom, we did. All day, every day, for three whole days. It was sooooooo fun! That little Sarah is in high gear all the time! Sometimes even I had to jump up on the sofa and tell her to settle down.

But mostly we played.

Me and my dog mom on the sofa avoiding the puppy and checking if anyone had treats for us.

And when mom finally came and took me back home I fell asleep on my sofa next to my dad right away. And I slept all night too.

Yep…I don’t know what’s going on around here, but I hope they send me to visit Sarah again soon! I have great expectations for lots of fun in 2025! I think Sarah and I will be good friends. Even if I have to tell her off once in awhile.

Zonked out at home with my dad.

I hope you have a wonderful 2025 too.

Meanwhile I’ll try to get mom to take her blog responsibilities more serious. She says she’s still struggling with all the new stuff but she’ll try. I have less than high hopes that she’ll figure it all out.

My breeder trimmed my ears too, don’t I look GOOD?!

Well, I guess I’ll talk to you all later, I gotta go supervise the birds at my feeders. I don’t know what they did when I wasn’t here,

Your Auntie – 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. It’s so good of you, Penny, to fill in for your mom when she’s busy. Moms have a lot of responsibilities, so help is always welcomed. Your niece, Sarah, is so cute – I hope you get to spend more time with her.

  2. Happy New Year, Miss Penny! Sounds like you had an awesome time with your dog mom’s crew. I laughed when you said you had to tell Sarah to settle down a time or two! Sending wishes for health and happiness in the new year for you and your Mom & Dad! 💕

  3. Happy New Year’s Penny, Dawn and Bruce. I’ve got to get my act together and write a blog post. Seems like there’s not much new to write about but I’ll try to think of something.

  4. Happy New Year, Penny! Wow. Looks like you really had your hands full with that little pistol, Sarah! You look so cute asleep with your dad. But you know you always look cute–especially with your ears all trimmed up. I am looking forward to all your great and fun posts in 2025!

  6. Wow, three full day of nothing but play, so much play that you (Penny) had to take breaks! Sounds fun. Fiyero used to play all day when he had a chance and would sleep most of the next day, but that was quite a few years ago…

  8. Happy New Year Penny! I’m glad you are ensuring Mom toes the line, so you got her to help you get this post out to all of us. You did well with the youngster, er Sarah and I am sure you taught her a thing or two. I can see from the photo of you snoozing away that Sarah and all that playing wore you out. Were you that energetic at six months? I didn’t “know” you yet. Your ear trim looks great BTW.

  11. That looks like a blast! It’s so nice that you have a fun place to go. I’m sure that makes your mom’s time away from you much less stressful for her. Your new friend Sarah is adorable! You two must be quite the duo.

    And, yes, your ears look good! I’ve never trimmed Chewy’s ears! His always makes me think of The Flying Nun 😂 they are out of control.

  12. Penny, Sarah is beautiful just like you!! But wait……she’s your niece? Not your cousin? I’m confused!!! Happy New Year to all of you! Don’t feel bad, we haven’t blogged since Christmas either!!! Not sure when we are going to get around to it!

  13. Penny, your ears look so pretty!! I’ve tried to do the Monk’s, but he absolutely refuses to let me touch them. And you look so much like your dog-mom. I think it’s grand that you’re staying in touch with her — I wish Monk had the option of going to stay with his dog-mom now and then. And I’m glad you’re teaching baby Sarah the ropes — she’s a cutie!
