Penny, the Dog of the Day
Name: Penny
Age: Deceased, Fifteen years old
Gender: Female Breed: Pomeranian
Home: Cape Coral, Florida, USA
 
   These are pictures of a very special Pomeranian named Penny. She died on 6-29-08 at approximately fifteen years of age. She came to our house as a stray on August 7th 1996. I called animal control, the humane society and the police department. I left my name and phone number and ran an ad in the newspaper for two weeks about her. But there was not one call.

    She was a joy to have as she loved everybody and other dogs. She did not have a mean bone in her body. When my mother was in a nursing home we would take Penny and everyone knew her name. There was one old man who didn't want to associate with any one and had a pretty foul mouth. Penny would see him and run and jump on his lap. This man would hold Penny and cuddle her and talk to her like she was an old friend. A few years later Penny started falling over so we called our vet and were told to bring right in. After a thorough exam the vet said that she is a least fifteen now, and her heart is giving out. He said Penny is not in any pain, but felt it would not be long before she passed on. Four days later Penny went outside and fell over. My wife picked her and brought here in the house and placed her on her bed. She rubbed her face on her blanket and was gone. We had lost our jewel, but are very thankful for the time we had with her.
