Update on Penny (fka Persephone)

Penny is doing great. She has a nice little routine now and she seems happy and content. I still take her to my mother in law's house while we're at work and she enjoys the attention. She's very friendly and outgoing now. She greets strangers on the street when we go for walks. She seems to have a good sense for people she should avoid though. :-) Our neighbor commented on how different she seems. Before she would sort of cower when someone approached her but now she approaches them with her tail wagging.

We've found that she has some funny traits lately. She's not a fan of metal, squeaky objects. She attacks three hole punches and cookie trays in the cupboard. She goes crazy when I take aluminum foil out of the box. I think she gets bothered by the noise the metal makes. It's nothing bad, just kind of funny.

She's letting us know when she has to go potty now by sitting by the back door. She has an occasional accident but that's only when we don't get to her fast enough or if she's left alone. She's still doing her "spite poops" but not every time we leave now. Sometimes I can leave for 20 minutes and she'll go potty. Other times we've left for a couple hours and she hasn't done anything. I think with time it will probably decrease but it's not a big deal since she has an affinity for the linoleum.

For her third birthday we got her a doggie birthday cake and put candles on it.
