penelope and doggies


penelope has grown a GREAT love for "doggies!" we have been staying with my parents for the last little while. chris and myleka's two dogs, ginger and winifred, are staying with my parents too. so there are three dogs in the house with my parent's dog Tippy. when penny wakes up in the morning she gets excited to see the "doggies" and she ALWAYS says "hi" and "bye" to the dogs. she will also give them kisses and hugs. one of her favorite places to sit is in the dogs' beds.
