My Pretty
Penny CD, CGC
It is with
great sadness that we let you all know that we had to let our wonderful
Penny go on the evening of Feb 2, just 8 days short of her 16th birthday.
She had been blessed with a very healthy life up until about the last 3
weeks, when her body began to fail her. In the end, it was a neurological
problem that lead to her inability to walk and we made the decision to let
her go. She will be very greatly missed and we will be eternally grateful
for loyalty and love she gave us over the last 15+ years.

Penny came to me
after I answered a "free to good home" ad in the local newspaper. I had grown up
training in obedience and when I met her, I knew that she needed someone like me
to straighten her out. Almost 16 years later, she's still letting me know that
she is in charge and that I never had a chance. Penny has taught me so much
about Goldens. She was the one who hooked me on this breed. In her retirement
she has been content to take a ride in the front seat to the bank on Saturday
morning or bounce around the yard with the young dogs. She has only recently
begun to slow down, preferring to sleep a little later in the morning and just
kind of lounge around the house. I will always be thankful that I brought this
wild child home all those years ago.
