Our backyard and driveway are on a slight slant. The front of the yard and driveway are uphill and the back is downhill. When I play fetch with Penny everyday, I stand down at the bottom of the driveway and throw the ball up the driveway where Penny fetches the ball, and happily brings it back to me...or she used to, until she got smart. Now this takes some serious thought; I'm not even sure I would have thought of it. LOL! When I throw the ball, she retrieves it and instead of bringing the… Continue

Three years ago on Palm Sunday, we had a very heavy wet snow. I have absolutely no recollection of this whatsoever.

I usually put our dogs in the backseat. Penny wouldn't have any of that. I should have taken this as a sign and turned around and gone home. Penny has been walking on a leash/harness (Easy Walk) in our neighborhood just fine. So I thought it was time to "graduate" to a park. Big mistake! Between the other dogs… Continue
