a Penny for your thoughts


In loving memory of Penny.

Passed away on November 7th, 2012

Penny was my first rescue pug. I’ve always wanted to adopt a rescue dog, especially a pug.

My mom and I went to a pug social and we weren’t looking to adopt a pug, but when we looked at the pugs who were available to adopt, I couldn’t help but insist to my mom that we come home with one.
After looking around at the different pugs, my mom pointed out Penny. She had this beautiful apricot fawn color coat and was such a lovely pug. She was wagging her tail and butt and whole body trying to meet anybody who would pet her. She seemed like such a happy pug. And so, I wanted to meet her.

Eventually I got to hold her in my arms and I knew I wanted her and nobody else. She was the one I wanted to take home that day.

Pen Pen, as I called her, was one of the sweetest pugs I will ever meet. She got along with Oreo, our other pug, wonderfully. She may have been a bit bossy towards Oreo at times, but we forgave her anyways. She loved to run in the grass with us and she would wag her whole body when she wagged her tail.

Penny’s favorite place to be was in my bed at night. We’d curl up together and it was the best place in the world for me. Falling asleep every night with two warm pug bodies at either of my sides.

6 weeks and 4 days later of amazing time spent together and Penny passed away. It was a very quick death and came so suddenly that I still can’t believe it, she’s actually gone. For her last day, she was breathing very shallow breaths and wasn't as energetic as usual. That night, holding her in my arms, Penny passed away.

Penny now rests peacefully and she will always be remembered for “tap dancing”.


I love you Pen Pen, sleep well.
