You’ve already met Skylar, Lacey, and Scooter. Now I’d like to introduce you to Penny, the family matriarch and a sweet, old soul. Penny has been a part of the family the longest, and she gets special privileges as a result. When it was time for her photo session, we moved into the front yard – an opportunity not often given to the other family dogs because Penny deserves her alone time from all the puppy craziness that sometimes occurs when all the other pups are together. We had hoped that Penny would rise to the occasion and do her crazy running circle-spins in the yard, but unfortunately, she was a tad shy despite great coaxing.

Initially hiding in the bushes, we eventually got her to emerge and take a few poses in front of the fence. There was a lot of crazy puppy fun (barking) happening in the backyard, which is what I think kept her from coming out of her shell, but I definitely had a chance to get to know her kind, soulful, and almost wild personality from the moments we spent together.

Penny is elegant and refined, weighted down with years of life experience and human love.
