Penny 1997-2008

Our Penny dog died this morning.

While we knew it was coming, it was still very sad.

Here are a few pictures of the knucklehead.

Here's a Poloroid shot (before digital cameras) of Penny zooming around the yard while Emily looks in the lawn for something interesting.
Penny is waiting for us to sit down to eat
This is labeled TrotTrot and is what I couldn't help but think as Penny and Sand3aye trotted toward me.
Penny loved to lie on the lawn or the patio and just chill out. Here she is "hanging 10"

Amazingly she was nice to "cousin" Leo when he came to visit.
This is a before shot of Penny looking adoringly at her hero, Greg, while Greg gives major skritches to Emily. I say 'before' because she's looking very much like a flokati rug just before a grooming at PetSmart
Penny loved to bring her 'babies' outside at night. Here is an offering outside the bedroom door. She'd line them up and sleep with them all night. Then during the day, she'd bring them in.
Suffering the indignities of reindeer antlers on the head
A later picture with antlers. Still didn't care for it.


Isn't she pretty after her clip and curl?
Found something interesting...
On the hunt
I think this is one of the pictures I'd bring in to the groomers to show them how she looks after a good groom.
"Penny all day long"
She loved to watch the 'weep-holes' for critters

Trying to get a shot of the hybiscus, but ended up with a puppy in there too
This is titled, "It's just me."

She was smelling Thanksgiving turkey and kind of locked out.

What? Oh, hi Rad
This is how she enjoyed being with us. Facing away, showing the "notch"
She was always happiest on the lawn with her peeps outside with her.
Bye Penny

I think they have biscuits!

Hubble & Spitzer Space Telescopes

This image provided by NASA July 1, 2008 shows a delicate ribbon of gas floats eerily in our galaxy. This image taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is a very thin section of a supernova remnant caused by a stellar explosion that occurred more than 1,000 years ago. The supernova was probably the brightest star ever seen by humans, and surpassed Venus as the brightest object in the night time sky, only to be surpassed by the moon. It was visible even during the day for weeks, and remained visible to the naked eye for at least two and a half years before fading away. This image is a composite of hydrogen-light observations taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in February 2006 and Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 observations in blue, yellow-green, and near-infrared light taken in April 2008. The supernova remnant, visible only in the hydrogen-light filter was assigned a red hue in the Heritage color image.(AP Photo/NASA)
