Penny, You're Fired.

Dear Penny, You are fired from being my own personal Hallmark card!!!!!

Last year I was trying to think of a creative way to send birthday wishes or sweet notes to people via text or Facebook, and well I quicky turned to my loyal side-kick (my Border Collie, Penny) for help. After all, isn't that what side-kicks are for?? To do all the stupid stuff you don't want to do? To look like a fool so that you don't have to? To be loving and loyal and never ask questions or say no?

So I turned Penny into my own personal Hallmark card. Duh.

In the beginning it worked sooo well!




I think is was the best birthday card Ian has ever recieved!

It all started to go down hill after Ian's birthday. Turns out Penny didn't really appreciate being forced into wearing signs...hmph!



Took a loooong time to explain to Penny how far a marathon is and that Melissa REALLY needed a supportive sign!

 Penny started to rebel against wearing signs! She refused to sit and would only stand and walk around trying to hide from me. It took me 30 pics to get this one.  Luckily it was enough to motivate Melissa and I'd like to think we were a crucial part to her marathon success.




Ian got a job after 9 months of being unemployeed, and if that doesn't deserve a sign, then what does??

 She got to the point that she wouldn't even stand up or let me put the sign around her!!! She just lays there with a look that says "muhaha now how are you going to hang your stupid little sign on me!?!"

I showed her! I just started to prop signs up against her! I WIN!

However, this morning I started to make a sign and well, look for yourself....

"Maybe if I hide under here she won't find me and make me where that horrible sign!"

"Maybe if I play dead she will just give up and wear her own sign!"

"My last attempt, I will just eat the sign and then she will give up for sure!"

Well, this is official notice to the world. I am officially firing my side-kick. She has become insubordinate. She ate my sign. So rude.
