Belly rubs, snugglin' in anything fleece, when mama comes home, counter surfing. Recently I found out there are chickens next door! I got in so much trouble when I went chasing after them, but they were in our yard first!

People blowing air in my face (I'll spazz out and start yipping at you), getting in trouble, when I have to stay home when mama leaves.

My auntie Michelle got me a squeaky hippo, but I like anything my brother Bruiser is playing with at the time.

Anything anyone else is eating, whatever treasure I can get off the table when no one is looking.

Jogging with mama at El Toyon Park, the field on the Navy Base. Coronado Dog Beach.

I can sit, still working on rolling over.

Arrival Story:
My auntie writes, Mary had never liked dogs, in fact she was afraid of them! Little by little she got used to animals. We got Bruiser and she liked him, but he was a daddy's boy, so she wanted a dog for her very own. I looked all over for an IG like my sisters', but there were no rescues at the time. Whippets were a consideration too, but when we met a couple at All Breed Rescue, neither one of us realized how big they were. The lady at the rescue talked with us for a while and finally brought out this skinny little scrap of a dog named Penny. She was outgoing and silly, the perfect little dog. Neither one of us were familiar with Minpins, and Mary didn't want to get her hopes up...Secretly, I knew this was the dog for her. After much communication, faxes, phone calls, the convincing of my dad to get Bruiser fixed, and Bruiser's neutering (sorry Bruiser), , Penny came to her new home. She's lived in the lap of luxury ever since, and our lives are a little more sunny because of her too.

Bio:
I am sad to say that my Mama is far, far away from me trying to graduate. But she promised me that Grandma & Grandpa will take good care of me while she's gone. She even wants to bring me to meet my cousin rocky for the first time on Spring Break! I can't wait 'til she comes back in December so we can go for walks and cuddle!
