Penny, the orange beagle became a part of our family when she was only six weeks old…. and Maggie was only six months old. (There was never a calm moment at my house.)  Needless to say, Maggie and Penny have literally grown up together. It’s been wonderful to see their bond grow over the last three years.

And when Molly was born, Penny formed a bond with her just as she did with Maggie.  As the “middle sister”, Penny loves playing with the girls.  Whether it’s Maggie tucking Penny in for her nap or Molly trying to go for a ride *on* Penny – she puts up with a lot!  With that said, she is a loving, gentle and caring dog.  I know she loves our girls!

I’ll never forget the night at dinner when Maggie proclaimed, “Mom –  Penny is my very best friend.”  My heart melted hearing her say those words. My girls have learned to respect and love all animals…  because of Penny and the affection she has toward Maggie and Molly.

I love having Penny a part of our family. She’s a great dog with good manners (most of the time) and the love and kindness she has for my girls is astonishing.
