7 years ago, i woke up to find a tiny puppy in my living room; a thread

[before i continue, a heads up! many of my moots know this by now but unfortunately penny is no longer with us (121216-170726) but yesterday was the seven year anniversary of when she joined the family & i am strangely missing her a lot these days pls bear with me]

2013: it’s my senior year of high school & my dad had been pestering me for months about getting a family dog and i kept telling him no because i KNEW it was gonna become my responsibility & i was going away for college in the fall.

it was going to be unfair for me and pup. but mostly for me! but alas, i wake up the morning of march 4, 2013 and there’s this tiny nugget in our living room

my dad’s friend’s dog had puppies and my dad couldn’t pass up the opportunity & brought her home. my sister’s bf (now husband) brought their dog chloe over for the weekend

my mom: “Penny, this is my Chloe! If you want to stay you better be friends!”

and so chloe (hesitantly) and penny (most excitedly) became best friends

penny was half the size of chloe in the beginning...

tiny nugg

by the holidays, penny was slightly bigger than chloe

until penny was fully grown and was about 1.5 times the size of chloe

it was a wonderful 4 years watching them grow up together

penny died the summer after i graduated college and moved back home. i was so excited to finally be home with my pup & actually raise her but unfortunately things happen and aren’t meant to be

grateful for the time i had with penny she was a handful and i almost wanted to give her up a month in (really, she was SUCH handful) but we stuck it out and i can’t believe i almost gave her up once

my big ball of floof

I miss her crazy long tongue

she zoom

When this night passes
I’m afraid I won’t be able to see you
The utterly clear gaze
The touch I got too used to
The face that smiled at me
Will I be unable to see you again anymore?
