A Short Paws.

Greetings, yes it's me, Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star!  After taking a short paws to reflect a bit about life, I thought I should type out a short pawsting, sorry, posting.  I seem to be more pawlific, sorry, prolific than usual.

Bear with me, my nerves took ages to calm down today.  The nasty man below us starting banging really early in the morning.  I trembled for about half an hour.  Gary, thank goodness, hugged me until I calmed down.  Gary has been packing boxes.  I think this is symbolic of him wanting to take us away from this very stressful environment.  I feel better verbalising this.

Today, October Ten, is "World Mental Health Day".  And clever me, here is a link that tells you all about it, World Mental Health Day.   And today, October Ten, is also Gary's son Tristan's birthday.  Tristan is twenty four and I have been with him for half of his life.  I love Tristan and I know how much he loves me.  Tristan, my human brother, happy birthday.

Friday, October Twelve, I shall be making another special announcement.  I hope you will come and visit me on Friday.
My dear friend, I leave you with this.  Here is a photograph of a twelve year old Tristan and me, a wee puppy of two months old.  In peace and pawsitivity to you, Penny.

      Hi PT,
      Actually, I'm not much bigger. And thank you. All the loud banging and screaming from below has left me really scared.
      Pawsitive wishes, Penny :)

      Hi Sharon,
      Thanks for thinking it's a sweet photo of Tristan and me :) Yes, we are trying to move. Some very nasty people have moved in below us. I'm really scared and we need to get away.

    You sure were a cute pup, and I'm sure you did a wonderful job helping to raise Tristan. Tell him happy birthday from me, too. (I hope he lets you have a wee taste of his cake.)

      Hi Susan,
      Why thank you very much :) I have been looking after my human brother Tristan for just over twelve years. I have done rather well, I think. Cake? Oops, good thing Gary rushed out and bought another cake! I'm kidding :)

    Mom sings this to me, so I'll do my best imitation: "Oh, you must have been a beautiful baby, cuz baby, look at you now"

    My first three years were spent in a crate above ground. I never got held. So you're lucky.

    And soon I'm going to have to ride on mom's lap for 800 miles. I hope we get to see my old home with real grass, real dirt, and a fence I can peek through the knotholes and look at the neighbors.

    I'm going to be crying when we leave, so I'll need to read your post to see if you're having a happy moving day!!! Make sure your dad doesn't stick you in one of those boxes.

      Hi lotta joy,

      Wow, what a cute song. Well, it was until my human Gary started singing the words to me!

      That's horrible you were stuck in a crate for three years. I know that your humans have done their best to give you loads of hugs since then. And I'm sending you a virtual doggy cuddle :)

      You be very careful riding on your mum's lap. You promise me? Enjoy the trip and I do hope you get to see your old home.

      We are still in the process of moving. I know my dad would never put me in a box.

      Pawsitive wishes, Penny xx

      Hi Heather P,
      My oh my, haven't I grown. Okay, maybe a few extra inches in height :) Gary and Tristan, just like you, understand how much love we animals share with our human families.
      I'm doing my best to not be scared. My humans keep cuddling me every time one of those nasty people makes a loud noise.
      Tristan thanks you for the birthday message you forwarded on the phone to Gary :)
      I have a secret message for Bean. Arf! Arf! and big cuddles! :)
      Big hugs to you and all your family creatures.

      Hi Petronela,
      Hello lovely human. We had planned a bit of a party for Tristan. Unfortunately, he was very ill on his birthday and had to go to bed.
      However, he is much better now and I kissed him on the cheek for you. He is sweet and caring just like his um adorable daddy. He has these really long eyelashes and when he was a little boy, all the girls used to chase him round the playground! :)

    What a lovely picture. Happy birthday to Tristan for yesterday. Please don't let those horrible people upset you dear Penny.

    Indy sends you big doggy kisses and says that you and he must be about the same age and that it is a most adorable and beautiful age to be and - well he went on a bit to be honest, but I think he was trying to say he thinks you're gorgeous xx

      Hi Teresa,
      Thank you for liking the picture :) I shall pass on your birthday wishes to Tristan. I'm trying my hardest not to get upset by those horrible people. Thank goodness my humans cuddle me whenever those people give me a fright.

      Indy, ah superstar dog! Yes, we are of a similar age. I will be a teenager next year. Can you tell Indy I think he's so gosh darn lovable! :)
      Pawsitive wishes to the both of you, Penny xx

      Hi Cody,
      Thank you for the Happy Happy Birthday wishes to Tristan. Ah yes, Libra humans. I have noticed how unassuming humans born under that star sign are :)
      The good news about moving is not yet. Still, we have a very nice distraction, through an act of kindness from a very nice blogger, to share on Friday.

    Happy Birthday Tristan! And Penny, that's one of the sweetest pix I've ever seen. You'll all be in much nicer digs very soon. Meanwhile, get all the hugs you need from your humans, they could probably use a hug too.

    Where and when are you moving? That is a stressful event for man and dog alike.

    Also thanks for the link to World Mental Health site. I have suffered with depression for much of my adult life, and appreciate the recognition of sites that inform and advocate treatment.

      Hi Susan,
      No definite date has been set. We are doing our utmost to move. The people below us are unbearable. A move cannot come soon enough.

      You're welcome for the link and please know we are all here for each other to support and comfort. With depression, Gary tries to live with, rather than, suffer from.

    That is so cool! Nice to be with your human guardians your whole life. My 3 cats had to deal with 7 weeks of construction, invading our home even on weekends. We were not prepared for that. But my partner has finally got a job. Soon we hope it'll be permanent so we can finally get out own home again.

    Hi Kendal,

    Not good when your cats and yourself are subjected to such distraction. It can cause so much stress to all concerned.
    I hope that with your partner getting a new job, that you will soon be able to get your own home, again. Wishing you much happiness.

    Pawsitive wishes, Penny xx
