We picked up the happy dancer from the vet the other day, and took her to meet her new foster mom.
First some more good news: It appears that the problem with Penny’s eye, is a temporary issue.
Dr. Mitchell believes Penny’s eye was somehow scratched; it is now being medicated daily.
We will check back with the Dr. in a week.
When told of this encouraging news, we asked Penny for a smile….and this is what she offered.
The meeting with foster mom Michele – and wee foster brother Odie – was awesome.
Michele is brilliant, savvy, and a nurturer…and Odie – at first uncertain of this new ‘giant’ – warmed up quickly to all-loving Penny.
Post holiday, we received a note from Michele on Penny’s Day of Thanks:
“Thanksgiving day was a blast. It was my small family and FIVE DOGS! It was awesome and everyone got along famously!! We took lots of pics which I will
post very soon. Each pup had their own plate of turkey and ham to “gobble” up. Penny was in heaven. After her supper, she sprawled out on the shaggy living room
rug and took a “tryptophan” induced nap. ..
Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Just so excited to have Penny in my home : )”
…You’ll Have Good Luck.
And so many days of it, sweet Penny.
More soon.
Thank you all for your outpouring of well-wishes for Penny.
She loves getting them…we pass ‘em along in affection.




This makes my day! So happy for Ms Penny! Thank you again Andrew, Michele, Ms. Penny Eims, Mutt Scouts and the many others that helped this loving girl.
What a delightful story. Restores my faith in “humans” well almost. . As always thank you Mutt Scouts.
Thank you so much, all of you out there who helped saving the life of this sweet old girl. I am so happy for her, so happy. I am here in Germany and tried to do everything to support her with all I could do from here. This is a wonderful, sweet dog, and what kind of evil person must that be that surrendered her to the shelter as a punishment for the children. Don’t think Penny had a good life before. Now she has !!
I’m in puddles now. Penny’s face says it all.
Thanks to all of you who helped save this most worthy soul!
