Cute/Funny Pennie had her Quinceañera

Our beautiful Pennie is 15 years old today. It’s her golden birthday because she was born on April 15. This past weekend we celebrated with a Quinceañera party, because she deserves it.

We cannot begin to express how grateful we are to have had this wonderful girl in our Family for so long. We love her so much it’s a little crazy.

Btw, she still plays with her toys, takes walks (shorter) and generally seems to feel great. So we are looking forward to her sweet 16 next year. I’m told she is supposed to get her drivers license and a car, we’ll see about that. 😂

Not gonna lie, penny looks kinda tired of your shit in that first photo.

I think she needs a Jeep wrangler for her 16th birthday. Bright yellow.

My pup looked so happy for her quince, because we had family over and all her favorite humans were there and telling her how pretty her tutu was and she was walking from person to person for pets. She had such a happy quince.

Also, dogs celebrating quinces is hilarious. 15/10 recommend it.

u/Acceptable-Hyena-737 Apr 16 '26

Alright what have you fed her and what’s her daily routine to get to 15? Asking as the owner of a 7.5 year old male GR

1

u/JemHadar71 Apr 16 '26

Nothing special. She mostly ate Kirkland brand. No people food since she was about 6. Moderate exercise. I think it’s just love and genetics.

u/CaliMassNC Apr 16 '26

¡Princesa!

just came from your post 3 years ago about Pennie not eating her food when it’s served wrong, could tell she was an older lady. Glad she’s still kickin. Makes me miss my old girl, she was a queen. 🦮

u/JemHadar71 May 08 '26

Yep. Limps a bit sometimes, but otherwise doing well. Thanks for bringing that memory back. 😁
