PENELOPE SPEAKS: I AM IN CHARGE OF MOM MOM

Hello. It is I, Penelope.

You will be pleased to know that I have taken charge of Mom Mom's recovery. Yesterday she had muscle spasms. I made sure she took the right medicine and used a heating pad. As a result, she is much better today. She has spoken to an advocate, and she has an application to fill out so she can receive help with expenses related to The Bad Thing. 

I have allowed her to go on short walks, and today I told her she could go out to get some groceries. We must have an appropriate amount of dog food in this house at all times.

The three of us enjoyed the inauguration of President Biden. I am particularly interested in Vice President Harris. I see a great future for her.

I know you wanted to see the image of Santa Paws on my Kissmas sweater. 

I am on my very own special green blankie on my bed that I share with Mom Mom. I have three of my toys next to me because sometimes I enjoy chewing on them during the night. Mom Mom often says I like a little pinch between my cheek and gum. I do not know why she makes such a statement. She seems to find it amusing.



I am quite upset with Franklin. We found a dead lizard in the backyard. Franklin told me that people in France who speak French and wear beautiful French clothes enjoy dining on dead lizards. He told me if I ate the dead lizard I would go to France and speak French and wear beautiful French clothes.

So I tried to eat the dead lizard. It was disgusting! I could not eat it! Then Mom Mom explained that Franklin was joking. She also said I can pretend to be French if I like. 

I thought about it and decided pretending sometimes is better than being French all the time.


This is what I look like when I think:


I am finished for today. Goodbye.

  7. Hi Penelope. This is Zoey. I have a red rubbery thingie just like yours! My dad puts a treat in it, but only after I eat all my breakfast. I like to hunt and kill lizards just like Franklin. There are a lot of them in my yard and I need to protect my mom and dad from them. I like the way you think. I look the same way when I'm thinking. I'm glad your mom mom is applying for help. I hope she gets it. Keep snuggling with her. I know hoomans like that.

    1. How do you do, Zoey. The red "thingie," as you say, is called a Kong. I stay close to Mom Mom at all times.

    1. Perhaps the lizard would taste better if it were sauteed in a little butter.
