The Penny Chronicles

My name is Penny.

Lately I’ve heard the Leader and the Old Boring Guy talking about fat dogs.  They try not to talk about it when I’m around, but I hear it.  Who could they be talking about?

I think people worry too much about weight.  I don’t!  In my pack, a big appetite was a sign of good health.  That’s why people talk about having a healthy appetite.  That makes me think I am very healthy!

I like to eat.  What dog doesn’t?  I like to sleep.  What dog doesn’t like to do that, either?  I go for walks, and sometimes Kasey and I will run around the house.  I like to sniff, and smell, and bark at cats, and do everything that dogs do.

I don’t care about being the skinniest dog on the block.  I like the smell of food and the taste of food.  It makes my mouth water!  I’d rather eat whenever I get the chance and be happy with a full belly.  Why not?  I am hungry!
