Hi, my new name is Penny. This is a picture of me and my new mom. I was rescued on Tuesday from a shelter, to this new place that will be my furever home! They tell me I'm 4 years old. Before coming to Pennsylvania, I lived in Alabama with a woman who was a hoarder and had 30 dogs! 30 dogs - can you imagine. Let me tell you there, I did not get much individual attention and the other dogs were mean. I had a set of puppies at some point as well, don't know where my babies are now.
My mom thinks that in my old home I must have had to fight for a spot on the couch, because that's my absolute favorite spot in my new home. I LOVE the couch. At some point my tail was broken and there is a permanent kink in it. I don't remember, but it's possible that I used to be abused, because I am very shy and timid. I love my new mom, but am scared a little bit around my new Dad. He's ok when he gives me treats and I'm ok with sitting with him on the couch, but other than that I don't like to go for walks with him or really let him pet me when I walk by.
This is a pic of Dad and I on a walk.
Here's me at my favorite spot on the couch. Dad has put a giraffe on my head (*eyes roll*) He doesn't think I notice, but I do. And...he wonders why I don't like him. ;)
My new home is wonderful and I get tons of love and attention. I have new toys and get treats. I don't really play with my toys very much. My mom can't figure out if it's because I've never had toys or if it's because I just don't like to play. I try to play sometimes, but usually only for a few minutes at a time. Otherwise, my absolute favorite activity is sleeping. I LOVE to sleep and rest all day long. Cuddling and sitting in my mom's lap is also pretty awesome. My new bed is super comfy (not as comfy as the couch though) and it's eco-friendly, because the stuffing is made out of recycled post-consumer plastic bottles. I know it doesn't sound comfortable, but it is super comfortable and I sleep all day. Sometimes I sleep on my back so I can get belly rubs!!!
Oh and this is me getting in trouble. While Mom was in the shower I stole a slipper, sock, and a couple pairs of underwear - SCORE!! Except for mom took them away. She didn't yell at me though, because I'm so shy I think she's afraid I won't like her if she yells at me. See being shy has advantages.
