🌻 The Story of My Soul Dog — Penney 🌻
Every once in a lifetime, a dog comes along that just changes you... and for me, that dog was Penney.
Penney wasn’t just a dog. She was my first child, my best friend, and the tiny, stubborn heartbeat at my feet long before human kids entered the picture.
When I brought her home, she weighed less than 3 pounds. Three pounds! She was smaller than a sack of sugar but somehow had the attitude of a 90-pound Rottweiler. I swear she thought she could take on the world — and maybe she did. She ran the house, ran my life, and ran my heart from the moment I held her.
She was sassy. She was energetic. She was my shadow, my therapist, my secret-keeper... my everything.
I always say she trained me long before I ever started training dogs for a living.
Penney was my soul dog — and if you’ve ever had one, you know exactly what that means. They’re the dog that’s more than “just a dog.” They’re your missing puzzle piece, your little life coach in fur. They see you at your worst, your best, your broken, and your bold — and they love you just the same.
I lost her in 2023. I can’t believe it’s been nearly two years since I kissed that squishy little face goodbye. It still feels like yesterday that she was stealing snacks and giving me that "Who, me?" look.
So today, I want to hear from you.
👉 Tell me about your soul dog.
What made them unforgettable? The weird quirks, the sweet moments, the things that made your heart explode — I want to know.
Because soul dogs deserve to be remembered. 💛
