Penny's From Heaven.

Here is a photograph of our Jack Russell dog named 'Penny'.  Penny likes music.  This very clever little dog has featured in a number of articles on my site.  If you wish to see how talented and loving she is, you can check out these 'dog blogs':   The 'Wee Folks' Faithful Friend.   A Canine Conversation.   'Congratulations! You've Won A...'  and  Filling The Vacuum.

So, if you do check out the preceding four postings you might get a better insight on this truly talented dog.  

Now, Penny is a very small dog and I have been known to trip over her.  I find myself apologising, 'I'm so sorry Penny!  Are you okay?'  'Chomp..take that you stupid human!'   I'm kidding.....

Penny's ears defy gravity.  It's not uncommon for her to race around with her ears curled up.  Penny has been approached by 'Star Wars' director, 'George Lucas', to play the role of 'Princess Leia', in an upcoming canine version of a Star Wars films, titled, 'Revenge of 'Daft Vader' (Attack of the Bones)'.

Penny is a family member.   Through all my times of isolation, fear and sorrow, Penny has been there.  Through all my times of joy, laughter and delight, Penny has been there.
Our blessed animal friends are a wonder to behold..  They give us gifts of loyalty, devotion and unconditional love.  We have much to learn.  

A Canine Conversation.

The following is an interview that I had with our beloved family member, Penny, the Jack Russell cross. A few years back, we got a Jack Russell cross. Now that is not a very good idea. Darn thing kept nipping at my ankles.

"Hello Penny. Thank you for kindly allowing me to interview you. Anything you would like to mention before I ask you a few questions?" Penny responds: "Hello, yes my name is 'Penny' and I am a Jack Russell. When I say 'Jack Russell', I mean a breed of dog and not to be confused with a certain former England cricketer."

"Thanks Penny. As you are aware, you are a bit of an 'internet star'. Do you enjoy this fame?" Penny replies: "Not 'arf'! But heck, I'm used to fame. I recall, when I was a very young dog, that I was constantly 'hounded' by the 'puppyarazzi'....and those pesky autograph hunters. The number of times they expected me to 'paws', just so I could give them an autograph!"

"Thank you Penny. Now Penny, I would like to try a word association game with you. If I say, 'vacuum cleaner'...Penny? Penny? Whoops, sorry, I forgot you are not exactly best friends with the vacuum. Come on, get out from behind the couch."

"That's a good girl, Penny. You sit there on this couch and we shall continue this interview. Penny, I've noticed that you do not like this time of the year. I get the distinct impression that Halloween and Bonfire Night are not fun times. Seems to me, fireworks equals wet carpet." Penny answers: "I get really scared during this time of year. All those loud bangs and bright flashes make me think that something terrible is going to happen. Why do all those people have to set off those fireworks out in the street? Why can't they go to a controlled display somewhere? It would be much safer, and most likely, much cheaper for them. I wish these people would understand how much it scares a lot of us animals." "Penny, I think you have made some valid points. Thanks for sharing that."

"Penny, I've got just a couple more questions. Would please tell me what's your opinion on cats? Penny responds: "Oh, don't get me started on cats!" Like I mentioned to you before; if the house caught on fire and the smoke alarm wasn't working, I would warn you, whilst 'kitty' would 'eff off' out the catflap. I'm glad we don't have a cat living here. I'd tell it a thing or two."

"Okay Penny. Here is the final question. What do you think would make this world a better place?" Penny says: "We show humans loyalty, love and trust. We pass no judgement. If man could be more like us; this world would be a better place."

"Now I have one question to ask you Gary." "What's that Penny?" "Gary, will I be getting paid for this interview?" "Sure thing Penny. I will give you a 'canine coin'. Here, have a 'dog pound'."
