Remembering our beautiful Penny today, it’s taken a while to put this together because every time I’ve tried the tears just won’t stop flowing.
Where do I even start… let’s go back to the beginning.
Roughly seven years ago I was just meeting Penny for the first time, I sat on her settee where she jumped up onto me, one leg each side of my neck and her face right in mine, she was suffocating me with kisses in the best possible way. I knew instantly that I was going to love her, and her me.
She made what could have been a very nerve wracking first few weeks of starting a new business an absolute breeze, I thought “if they’re all like her then I’m onto a winner”.
From there she became “White Penny” in the diary and she quickly became best friends with “Black Penny” and together they became “Tuppence”. The cutest girl band there ever was. They shared “the penthouse suite” cage in the van and black Penny would cry with excitement every time I pulled up outside of her besties house, knowing that she was coming in.
Over the years we must have had thousands of walks together, full days of adventures, sleepovers, cuddles in the van, cuddles out of the van, cuddles even when she was in the middle of sniffing something and didn’t want one… sometimes i’d just look down and see that cute face and have to pick her up.
She was such a character, she was as hard as nails and as stubborn as terriers come but she was as loyal as could be and when she loved you she really loved you. And I felt that…loved by a little white shadow that had me in the palm of her little paw.
Sadly she suddenly developed an illness that wouldn’t have been fair to let her suffer through, so her lovely Mam Amy had to make the heartbreaking but right decision to let her go. I can’t even imagine how hard that must have been for her and her family. But Amy I hope you know that you did what was best for her after the best 10 years full of love, care and adventures.
We’re all going to miss that pretty little girl so much and I still can’t believe that she’s gone, I will never forget all of the memories we made together and all of the joy that she brought to every day.
Love you always Penny girl 🤍
