Meet Rocky!

Say hi to Rocky, the latest addition to Lucky Penny Acres.

Rocky

We learned that the shelter where we originally adopted Shaffron had an old yorkie come in. The dog was a stray picked up on the streets of Jersey City, NJ. He is missing an eye, very thin, and has some joint problems. The shelter took care of routine vaccines and got him groomed. The description on their website called him a “moldy oldy”. They named him Rocky Wrench.

Given his condition and age, finding a home may have taken quite a while.

Saying Goodbye to Tiny

When we first adopted Tiny, we were not expecting her to live for much longer as she seemed quite sick at the time. That was way back in November 2017.

We had to have her put to sleep last week. She had progressing kidney failure and was struggling a little to keep on enough weight. Though she was declining physically slowly over time, her mind went first. Her dementia had progressed to such a stage that she wasn’t really Tiny most of the time any more.

We’ll miss her standing right next to us in the kitchen waiting not so patiently for her share of any eggs we were cooking.
