My name is Penny.
Lately I like sleeping more and more. I am tired, and my leg hurts, and now my belly does, too. But when I fall asleep all of that is gone. I sleep, and suddenly I am a young puppy again, quick and light and playing with my brothers and sisters in a green field with cool grass. We see a squirrel far away and we run, run, run to chase it. Our tongues hang out and even though the squirrel gets away, it is okay. We drink cool water and then run some more, then plop down next to the pond in the shade of a tree.
When I sleep, I remember the good food I have eaten. So much very good food! I am eating the food the Leader has given me, and the special treats I get from her when the old boring guy isn’t looking. I am eating the scraps the Young Master has given me when he thinks the old boring guy isn’t looking. I am eating the meat the old boring guy gives me when he thinks the Leader isn’t looking. And I am eating the food left out for Kasey when Kasey isn’t looking. Sorry, Kasey!
These days, I like sleeping even more than food. I seem to have a hard time eating now, and when I do it I get sick. But those dreams are sweet.
