Meet Penny.....
Penny has been with us since 1999. When she came to rescue we thought she was a puppy but the vet diagnosed her as a "dwarf." She is very small for a basset and since being in rescue has lost her eyesight in both eyes.
She is seen here happily chewing on a nylabone. And she has the best nose in the county. Just let one piece of kibble from dinnertime roll under the upright piano and she will fuss and fume til we move the darn piano just so she can get that one morsel of kibble.

We've read that the typical dog has about 220 million smell receptors in its nose, compared to about 5 million receptors in a person. We figure Penny must have twice the normal number for a dog!
Penny loves to lay in your arms like a baby and has been to many events with us and ususally spends the whole time in someone's arms.
Have a wonderful week.
Kim
