Penny and me

A few weeks ago, I sat down beside Penny on my bed and we had a heart to heart talk.

Penny, I said. I named you after a song, and I'm going to see that song performed live. Live, Penny! Can you believe it?

Penny snorted at me, rolled over for a belly rub, then started snoring.

It's always Penny and me tonight.

I named my first dog of my adult life after the song Penny and Me, which my favorite band, Hanson, sings.


It was glorious.
