Pennie joined our family on September 10, 2001. We
were once again fortunate to have found a puppy who was lovingly home
raised, this time by Alison Fisher, her husband Graham, and their
children Robert, Andrew and Rebecca. We enjoyed a few days
in Lancashire getting to know each other and had a lovely day in the
English countryside with Joan and Mark Smith and the Pennijar Lancashire Heelers.
Pennie was
bold and
confident and ready to start her new life in America. Unlike
Hoover, who had been an absolute angel on his flight to the USA, Pennie
was not about to sit still for any length of time, especially in her
traveling bag. The flight crew was very accomodating and by the
time we landed in Atlanta, Pennie had made friends with nearly every
passenger on the plane.
Pennie was quick to let her brothers,
Gofer and Hoover, know that although she was smaller and younger than
they were, she was not about to be taken lightly. Pennie and
Hoover became the best of friends and were always together. She
adores Gofer Sox, and after a period of adjustment, he got used to her
playful nature and puppy antics. Pennie always has a toy within
easy reach. She loves to play tug and everything she gets her
mouth on becomes a tug toy.
Pennie loves to swim now, although it took her quite awhile to jump
into the pool on her own. She has a rather unorthodox way of
getting into the pool however. She steps gently onto your
shoulder and then glides into the water. She also likes to take
an occasional swim on her own. If no one is in the pool to assist
her getting in, she merely walks off the edge into the water.
Quite a different approach than Gofer, who likes to make the biggest
splash he can, and Hoover, whose goal was always to dive higher than he
did last time. She is delighted with her new little
brother and is busily teaching him all about life in Florida.
