“Penny” (fka CP Madeira) Settles In!

Contributed by her Happy New Mom


New Mom & Dad think I am Sweet!

Penny (fka CP Madeira) is doing great!  She is such a sweet and good girl!  Her New Dad and I were off work for the MLK holiday and we spent the whole day at home with her!

I have my own new bed for the living room!

She and I went on a nice long walk in the morning, and then I gave her a nice warm bath after she played in the snow.  She had a ton of energy after her bath - running laps around the living room and picking up her various toys and shaking them around!  I got her a special bed that she can sit in when we are all in the living room together, but on Monday, in the afternoon, we all fell asleep together on the couch, watching TV!  It was a wonderful lazy day, but I think she enjoyed it, and we certainly loved getting to know her personality a little better.

I am learning to be comfortable in my new crate

She is such a snuggler!  Even, at this very moment, she is in my lap under a blanket!  She likes to follow me everywhere I go to see what I'm doing.  We have had her sleep in her crate each night, and at first she does bark a few times, but doesn't take long to settle down and fall asleep.

I have to follow Mom & Dad so I don’t miss out on anything!

I showed her pictures off all day my first day back at my office!  Her new Dad gets to come home every day for lunch, so she has a good time exploring our backyard during that time. For me, Tuesday felt like the longest work day in my life, and I was so happy to come home to my furry baby!

We went on a long walk after I got home from work that day to get her wiggles out, and we met another neighborhood dog along the way.  Penny does pull a lot when we walk, so I try to keep her walking closely to me when she does this.  Progress!

We love her so much already!

Madeira “Maddie” Moves on as “Penny”!

Contributed by her Loving Foster Mom


Madeira nka Penny already knows how to make New Mom smile!

Madeira aka “Maddie”, who will soon be known as "Penny," left today with her New Mom and Grand Mom. They are heading from sunny Florida to a somewhat chillier clime in North Carolina, where she will meet her New Dad in her Forever Home.


Madeira nka Penny cuddles with New Grand Mom

As you can see by her pictures, she has an ecstatic New Mom and a proud and comforting Grand Mom… who says she has told New Mom she has to send pictures!


Saying “Goodbye” is such sweet sorrow…

Foster Mom and Maddie shared a sweet, final embrace...  That final embrace is always so hard, isn't it?  Sometimes it seems that the ones who have been the most troubled and difficult become the hardest to let go after they have finally surrendered their defenses and fears and allowed themselves to be loved and cared for.  They take such big chunks of your heart with them when they leave…

Sweet Forever, little Maddie!

Pencil "Penny" Found Her Furever Home for the Holidays

Hooray for Penny! She has been adopted by a very nice couple from Milwaukee, who drove all the way to Arkansas this weekend to get her.


I know she will be well-loved and spoiled, but it was still hard to let her go. The house seems empty without her.


Here is a pic of her with her new parents. I wish them a very long and happy life together.
