Welcome to Penny's World!

My huggable, lovable, goofball Doodle showed an amazing side today.

To backtrack: Penny gets along with just about every dog (and definitely every human) she encounters. She's had a Rottweiler roll over on his back for her, a German Shepard give her a Christmas present, and tolerated a wacky Boxer jumping all over her while she just stands there (and I swear she rolls her eyes).

We met several more Doodle owners while we were at the park - and told them ALL about DoodleKisses… Continue

Summer is poking its head around the corner here in Arizona, with temps at 100 degrees the last couple of days. You would think that Penny would be diving into the pool at the first opportunity, but she's just not a water dog.
