Welcome to Pen's page! Penelope is a purebred Pug. Pen's been our best friend since we got her when she was only eight weeks old in 1993. I hope you enjoy the pictures! |

Update - February 22, 2007 - The past few days have been
the most difficult days of our life after we were forced to accept that
Pen's health problems could not be resolved. The details are too
painful to speak about. We tried everything. We both took time
off work and spent every minute comforting Pen over the last several days,
feeding her her favorite dishes and giving her lots of tummy rubs and affection.
Pen was showing signs of suffering and as such this morning Pen was put to
sleep. We held her as she passed quickly and peacefully.
No more suffering. We are devastated. Pen was incredibly
important to us and we cannot imagine life without her. We'll miss
you Pen and we'll never forget you. Sleep well little girl.
Update - October 31, 2006 - Pen is now 11 1/2 years old and still hanging in there. Sadly, Pen received a puncture to one of here eyes and had to have it removed in late 2005. She is almost blind now as her vision was poorest in the one eye remaining. She also has some back problems and is dragging one rear paw somewhat. Still she is happy and barks at us constantly when it is time to eat. Pugs normally only live between 12 and 14 years old however Pen is still energetic with a big attitude so I think she'll be with us a little while longer. |

When Pen isn't eating, she likes to do a lot of snoozin' with all of her friends. |
When Pen was just a Puglet, she was imprisoned in our kitchen to prevent her from using the living room as her bathroom. |

As an adult, Pen enjoys all the luxuries life can offer. Apparently it still isn't enough. |
"Just a bit more relaxing, then I'll go eat again." |
