| A quick note on Penny's 1st birthday (which was actually yesterday) to let you know that she is doing wonderfully. She is on the dainty side at just over 35 lbs, and everyone remarks on how beautiful she is -- so true! She is affectionate, inquisitive, and very smart. Her favorite things are running full speed at the park with her buddies, wrestling my parents' standard poodle Lucy (her very best friend), "borrowing" other dogs' tennis balls so they chase her, snuggling, and being our shadow. She has brought such joy to our lives -- we were married only 4 days before picking her up last October, and she truly completed our family. Thank you for our wonderful girl. We adore her. I've enclosed a few [too many] pictures of her life in Chicago. As you can see from one of the pictures below, she has retained her signature head tilt that you captured in the photo you have of her in the banner on your website! Photo 5 and Photo 4(1) were taken yesterday on her first birthday. Take care! Laura McDonald |
