On Wednesday, August 10th we celebrated having Penne for one year. So technically we don't know her birthday and it is more like an anniversary, but we are going to count it as her birthday. Brian and I went to PetSmart and got her presents. I think our eyes were bigger than our brains because we bought her the biggest rawhide bone and the colossal rope ball. We gave the rawhide bone to her on Tuesday since it was her birthday eve (Brian's idea) and then we gave the colossal rope ball the morning of her birthday. We took videos of her reaction to each toy and to say the least it was lackluster therefore we aren't posting them on here. She only licked the bone and then didn't touch it for a couple of days. When she did start chewing on it hard core yesterday she became obsessive. She chewed on it non-stop for 4 hours and the fur on her face and paws became really hard and turned white. I know we get upset if she doesn't chew on it and we get upset if she chews on it too much. As parents we just can't be pleased. Her reaction to the rope ball was better. Initially she didn't want anything to do with it but when Brian went after it she had to have it. Basically, if Brian goes after any toy she wants it. But overall, I think she had a good birthday and she was spoiled rotten. I just hope she knows how much we love her and how much we love having her in our lives!
Oh and we decided to take a family picture every year on her birthday so it is below. We had to find creative ways to get Penne to look at the camera. We were sitting on the couch and the camera was on her crate. So Brian came up with the idea to throw a tennis ball into the crate so that she would look in that direction. And it worked!
