2/8/21 - Beautiful girl, I miss you so much! I have left your bed as it was and I know you hear me telling you good morning and good night still. Joe is still lying in your spot at night just to feel close to you. There is a big hole in our house and in our hearts. Today, I went to the shelter intent on adopting a little dog that reminded me of you, but she was already spoken for. However, a little black dog - maybe a cross between Daisy and Molly - convinced me that she belongs to me so I adopted her and she should be able to come home in a couple of days. She can't possibly take your place, but she will fill in some of the emptiness. She'll reveal her name to us over time - maybe you'll whisper one to me. I love you, Pen.

3/14/21 - Happy birthday, my girl! Today, you would have been the ripe old age of 15. I think of you every day and miss you so much.
That doggie you sent us - Chloe - is a handful! My goodness! I remember when you ate my phone, and my chairs, and my blinds, but this little one puts you in the shade. She eats EVERYTHING! After the first few nights, she abandoned her bed and started sleeping on yours to be close to Joe. Seems fitting.
I love you, Pen and send kisses to your sisters there before you.....

1/3/22 - My girl, has it really been nearly a year since you left us? I miss you every day, sweetheart! Chloe has become good friends with Joe and Nikkel but I know Joe would trade her in a minute if he could have you back again.
I hope you and all your sisters are playing in the sun today and every day.

3/7/22 - Pen Pen, my love, how I miss you!! I keep expecting to hear your bark and see your beautiful face. Love you so much - give Daisy a kiss from me as today is the day we all lost her.

2/3/24 - Lovely Penny! You have been on my mind so much lately. How I miss your beautiful smile! I know you, Daisy, and the rest of your sisters, along with Booster, are having a wonderful time playing together and I can't wait to see you all again one day. Joe sends his love, too.
