You may recall that Penny once STOLE (yes, stole) a ball from her bestie Gretzky by sneaking it into her kennel while we were at his house, thereby ensuring its transport back home. Us unsuspecting humans were shocked and thought it hilarious. Then we thought it was super cute that it became her favorite toy ever. We bought the same ball in pink for her, which she plays with, but it's just not the green ball.
For some weeks, the green ball disappeared - but when Laura found it under the computer stand, Penny was uber excited and promptly gathered it into her clutches for a soothing session of chewing. Hubs and I went out for the evening, leaving our charge in the care of my sister, and we returned to find this on the kitchen counter:
Sis has never seen this side of Penny and was also looking after two kids. Once again, humans underestimate hund. Thank God she spit out all (or most of) the pieces. But now the green ball has been filed away and Penny's comeupance is a trip to the vet today. Not really, she just needs an annual checkup.
That isn't a bad casualty. Penny deserves a bit of a break. She looks innocent enough. For a minute there I thought you got a babysitter for your dog and wondered.
ReplyDeleteHa! No, my sister is living with us right now.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I love Penny! Reilly loves to destroy tennis balls. He's 10 lbs. My sister was visisting and witnessed his handiwork (teethwork?) firsthand and was floored. She also learned not to leave food in her bag sitting on the floor...
