Say hello to my personal space invader, Penny. She also happens to be the 2010 National Sleep Champ of North America.
I adopted Penny from a great organization called Lucky Dog Rescue here in the Phoenix area. Lucky Dog does a lot of great stuff for the animals of the community and has some truly dedicated people who work extremely hard to find every animal a happy home. Definitely a thorough and very thoughtful organization. Apparently Lucky Dog had rescued Penny (then stuck with the most awful name of Lassie) from the Maricopa County Animal Shelter just before they were about to put her down. How could you put down such a cute little pup? Anyway, she was rescued and I found her at a local adoption event. Very nervous about getting my first dog, but she was such a sweetheart and just really wanted to be loved.
Now here we are. She's pretty much decided that my place is no longer my place and that she has free reign to find the comfiest sleeping spot possible. As you can see from the pictures above, she's already taken half the couch plus a pillow. I'm sure she's plotting how to kick me out of my bed so she can have it for herself.
If you are thinking of getting a dog, I strongly urge you to adopt. There are tons of adorable, sweet, loving pups who just need a home. Yes, these dogs may come with some baggage, but they will also love you more fiercely than you could have ever imagined. If you live in the Phoenix area, here are some great organizations that put on local adoption events all over the valley:
she is amazing and why would she not take over the space. she is after all amazing!
