Only good thing happen in a crate...

When Penny sees me preparing her dinner, she hops right into her crate! She knows the drill - dinner is served in her room. She's a quick learner and she wants to please. And the crate doesn't re-open if she is barking!

Game on!

Penny is doing really great! She loves to play with her foster sisters and zoom around the house. And when she's not playing, she is asking for cuddles. Of course she's vocal during play and vocal when I leave the house and she's in a crate (that's all the time with a puppy!) but she is calming down and settling in.

She has been jumping into the bathtub when I am getting ready in the morning and she has peeked her head into the shower when I am in there. Wonder what that's about?

All in all, she's pretty charming. Now, we need to work on the housebreaking :-)

Cuddly Penny

Penny slept like a log last night (must have been the barking in the crate during the day that wore her out!). She was very cuddly this morning and even played with one of her foster sisters. Penny definitely wants to be the focus of all of your attention - she even sat on my laptop to get me to notice her!

What a difference a day makes!

OK, I'll admit it, Day 1 was not good. Penny was very nervous and barked from the moment we got home until bedtime. She barked at nothing and barked at everything. She hid in the bottom of my bookcase and barked. She sat under my dining room table and barked. She stood next to me and barked. You get the picture. Oh, how I wanted her to be quiet!

But today was so much better! She is calm and cuddly. And she even knew that dinner is served in her crate. She saw her foster sisters go in their crates and she went into hers!

Sometimes we forget that these things take a little time...

Penny the poser

Happy girl!

Meet Penny!

Penny is a cute little doxie/terrier mix. She is about 16 weeks old and just loves to cuddle!
