Joey and Penny - crazy dog love |
He kind of looked like a fox and not really a dog, but he
smelled like a dog so that was cool. It was calm and peaceful in my home for a
few days.
Then Penny came to stay.
Joey Boy |
A Toy Australian Shepherd she was
only about ten lbs if that. She was an exuberant little nugget, always flying
around this way and that, crawling all over my Lady, kissing and cleaning her.
She felt it was her job to clean everyone. She tried a couple times with me, but
I said "no." That’s just weird. Boundaries
you know.
Joey loved it though, and started kissing her back. Good god
they played like there was no tomorrow, always rolling around on each other,
holding paws, licking each other’s teeth. Sharing all the toys, kissing some
more. Always kissing!
The worst part was the food.
They insisted on sharing with each other, but completely forgot about
me. That hurt my feelings even more than the non-stop cleaning sessions.
I tried to show them how the big boys play with one of my
big fuzzy bears. I stood in the middle
of the room and shook it all around really hard. They just ran for cover and
stared at me like I was crazy.
Then they started kissing each other again. Penny would run
off and Joey would chase her, then they would flop all over, arms wrapped
around each other, and kiss non stop, like for ever. Seriously their constant
licking was driving me crazy. I now knew why my Lady told me to stop whenever
she heard my licking. That constant licking sound drove me nuts. I barked at
them to stop, and they would for like a second.
“What’s up?” they said in unison. Disgusting. They even
thought alike.
No matter the momentary distraction, they went right back to playing and kissing again.
Little Penny Puppyhead |
Finally Joey left, and although my Lady was worried Penny
was going miss her new boyfriend, I was secretly glad. I kind of liked it when
I was the only male in the house. Just sayin.
At least I felt that way until my Lady made up the Penny
Puppyhead song. “Are you a nickel, or a dime or a quarter???? NO! You’re Pretty
Penny Puppyhead and you live in my purse…” She carried that dog around
constantly and Penny loved it. She would jump on my Lady and wrap her body
around her neck and kiss her all the time. And my Lady loved it. She would rub her belly and kiss her head and sing that
dumb, dippy penny puppyhead song. I was seriously going to vomit.
“I just love, love, love your lady!” Penny giggled all the
time. “She’s just so funny and sings really bad.”
I have to say although little Penny was adorably cute, I was
super sick of seeing my Lady and Penny Puppyhead together all the time. And
their non-stop giggle fest was annoying. I never got the joke. It really was a
dumb song.
