I went with a friend to Kennewick to get a dog who was found in an abandoned pig pen. My friend is fostering her. While I was gone, Penny stayed with Theresa, who she adores.
This dog, originally named Chai by the people who found her, but now called Olive by Erin and her partner, arrived to her foster mom's house a little shy, a little unsure of herself. Penny did everything she could to get the little dog (38 lbs) to play with her. She rummaged in her best friend, Opa's, toys for squeaky toys. She walked around with a squeaky ball and then dropped the ball at Olive's feet. She lay on the couch and buried her nose in the pillows.
Finally, Olive played with her. She was a little intimidated by Penny's size and the compromise was for Olive to be on the couch, with Penny nosing her with her hind feet on the ground -- mostly.
Here are some shots.
A few days later we went to the dog park and Penny was able to really wrestle with another 100-lb dog named Max. I am hoping we see him again so I can take pictures.
