Hi Princess Penny here.  This is a blog post that I did yesterday at another spot and it was really good that I decided to post it here for everyone else to enjoy.  Not sure if this is the place for something like this, but we figured that even marketers have pets. ruf ruf!

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself - my name is Penny a.k.a. Princess Penny, but don't let the title fool ya - I'm just a regular girl. I'm pretty rich to - I own two human parents, 2 adoptive human people, and I will introduce you to the new brothers and sisters I have later. They have feathers...hehe... and I'm.....you know.... a bird dog... I'm So In HEAVEN!

I was found wandering around lost, lonely and by all accounts stinkin, by these really nice human people (my now adoptive human parents), Pappa Howard and Momma Cass. (She is not the singin one) They tried really hard to find the humans I skipped out on, but couldnt. They really wanted to keep me, but they have these 3 huge cats, Mama Cat and her two boys. 40lbs each, I swear. HUGE and mean. They would corner me and knock me down. I'm not use to being treated that way.

Anyway, Pappa Howard was talking to his friend Roger who really took a shine to me, but could not figure out how he was going to tell Teresa that he wanted to take care of me. You see at the time that I was sucking up and batting my eyes to him for that week, Teresa was in the hospital. She had told Roger that 5 parrots were enough animals, and that after her dog crossed over a couple years back, NO MORE DOGS. Yeah, right!

Well Roger, I call him dad now, brought Teresa over to meet me. She was not moved by my tail - opps - tale and wanted no part of me. They explained that Pappa Howard could not keep me because of his cats and that I would have to go to a shelter. I could see that struck a nerve and played up the eyes. You know us Beagles have the most beautiful sad eyes they could melt an iceburg. Well, she told Dad that I would be his dog and that he would have to clean up after me, walk me, give me baths, and that both of us were out in the yard if I got to friendly with the birds.

Well it's almost a year and I'm still here. Mom has softened some. Dad still is the one who walks me and cleans up after me (boy when she sticks to her guns you can't move her). But she does feed me most times. Dad's not the greatest when it comes to feeding me or my 5 brothers and sisters. He's got boring taste and the amounts are not that filling.

I'm Princess Penny to Dad and I can't do no wrong. (Boy does he have a lot to still learn). I still see Pappa Howard and Momma Cass. They really come over to play with me , but they will talk to my human parents so as not to appear rude.

Well my secretary Teresa's fingers are getting tired so I have to stop for now, but I'll be back and introduce you to my brothers and sisters.

Come back soon
Princess Penny

P.S. I'm writing a book about what human parents should know about what dogs want and what dogs need.

P.P.S. Once my secretary figures out how to put MY picture up you will see how cute Beagles can be too!
