A pequena galgo italiano foi adotada pela norte-americana Kayla Harvey de Gardner, Kansas, há 3 anos e tinha apenas oito semanas quando foi fazer parte da família.

Kayla decidiu adotar Penelope quando seu filho mais novo estava prestes a começar a frequentar a escola e com isso ela ficaria sozinha em casa, pois possui uma doença crônica que restringe-lhe a vida.

“Durante o tempo em que criei os filhos, adoeci cronicamente e voltar ao trabalho não era uma opção para mim. – A família de quem ganhei Penelope me contou sobre um cachorrinho diferente de todos os cachorros que eles já tinham visto. Ela era calma e doce de um jeito que a maioria dos filhotes leva anos para se estabelecer. Um filhote perfeito para alguém como eu, que sofre de doenças crônicas.” Contou Kayla ao DailyMail.

Por sua condição de saúde, ela acaba por manter-se isolada e ter a companhia de um cão é uma das melhores coisas que se pode ter.

“Penelope me trouxe muita alegria e amor. Ela me faz companhia quando estou muito doente para ir a qualquer lugar e me faz rir nos dias em que achei que nem conseguiria sorrir. Não passa um dia em que eu não seja extremamente grato por ter minha Penelope em minha família.” Comentou.

Kayla criou um perfil no Instagram para compartilhar as incríveis fotos de Penelope, onde rapidamente viralizaram. Graças ao seu visual único de ‘ganso’ e expressões faciais hilariantes, ela acumulou mais de 88.000 seguidores, onde ela posa em uma variedade de fotos fashionista usando roupas vibrantes e acessórios fofos que encantam seus muitos fãs.

 

Penelope é muito peculiar e expressiva. As suas expressões faciais são quase humanas, diferente de qualquer outro cãozinho!

Throwback Thursday to when I still had all my teethers. I was so unaware in my toothy bliss! This picture was taken just a few weeks before I went to sleep and awoke to some of my Goosey teeth missing! I was robbed! I’ve never believed the Periodontal Disease bit (pun intended) they tried to feed me! I believe my teeth were stollen to be sold on the black market. My rare Goosey teeth are considered more valuable than Ivory! But just Incase, brush your teeth kids! ? . . . . .

Today one of my small hoomans left a glorious bag of soft bread rolls on the top of the tall armoire believing it would be a safe spot away from any food thieves who may frequent the area. Little did he know I may be a goose but I have cat-like reflexes!!! I jumped into a slightly open drawer in the armor and then onto the next and from there I was able to use my long neck to stretch to the end of the bag and swipe it down with my lengthy tippy snoot and then the rolls were MINE!!! Or they would have been had I not been discovered with my head completely submerged in the bag!! Still, I managed to get a few bites in! Worth it!!!!! ? . . . . Collar by @hypnoticdogco . . . .

Today I share the story of my strategically planned REVENGE!! ? Our story begins immediately after I was held down and had my nail tips stolen by the torture device known as “nail clippers”. The family tried to act like nothing had happened! Like the sun hadn’t just been blacked out of my sky!! I played along!! Earning their trust all the while plotting my revenge! ??? Many have suggested I lay a poo egg as revenge, and while I agree with the sentiment, I had to find away to make this vengeance truly make a lasting impact! Just a mere poo egg alone was not going to satisfy my deep thirst for payback! ??? I watched the hooman mommy joyfully swinging around in her rolling chair at her vanity. All the while oblivious to my malice plotting! That’s when the idea revealed itself to me!!! ? ? I awaited a moment when I was all alone in the room and quietly laid my poo egg right where I knew it would have an impact! Right by the wheels of her rolling chair!! ? My plan went off just as I had dreamed. Like a series of sinister dominos falling right into place! ?? The hooman mommy sat in her chair unaware and heedlessly swiveling as the chair wheels turned bellow her. Then all at once the wheels went over a SQUISH! And just like that she had rolled over the poo egg smashing it deep into the carpet. Just as I had planned. ? ? ? As I said revenge is not always a dish best served cold, sometimes it is served as a steaming hot message that says….DO NOT MESS WITH THE GOOSE ???? . . . Collar by @hypnoticdogco . . . Photo description for accessibility: Penelope is a small seal and white Italian Greyhound. She has an indignant, evil smirk on her face. She is pleased and smug in her revenge. She wears a rainbow beaded collar.

Hello Goslings! Sorry for such few posts lately! I am still in Isolation and busy being Nurse Goosey to my sick hooman mommy. She is in good paws with me so I am confident she will recover soon. ?? Today the mommy was sitting up in bed eating popcorn. We Gooses love popcorn! That’s why if you smell our paws and toe beans they smell like popcorn! Paw-corn if you will!! ? The hooman mommy was giving me a few pieces of popcorn here and there but considering that I have dropped everything to be her nurse and live with her in Isolation, I really thought I deserved more. ?? ? ??? Knowing the hooman mommy can not resist petting me if I’m on her lap I hopped on and rubbed my Goosey snoot on her hand. Sure enough she let go of the popcorn bag and pet me with both hands. That’s when I put my plan into action!! Quickly I stuck my long snoot into the popcorn bag and scooped up as many pieces of the delightful morsels that my mouth would allow and ran as if my life depended on it! ???? Once I made it to under the bed (the mommy can’t reach me there) I spilled the contraband treats out of my chops and onto the floor. Then with a smug, victorious face, I slowly enjoyed my well earned munchies. ???? I know a muzzle full of popcorn doesn’t sound like much, but after sacrificing my access to the family kitchen, pantry and trashcans to be here in seclusion with the hooman mommy, I find it to be a well deserved victory!! I hope you all are safe and well!! I hope you are finding small victories in your days too! Take care!!! ???????????? . . . Collar by @hypnoticdogco Tag by @badtags . . .

Goslings friends, I think I have a pretty big problem here!! @wheelingweenie gifted me a handmade soft, cozy snood from @weenwear and it’s even in my favorite color (rainbow) and everything! ? That part is amazing and I adore the snood, but…… she made my hooman mommy a matching one. It’s not so much that I mind us twinning or even my mommy copying my signature up over the ears look (tho that’s annoying) The problem is now she thinks she can get in on MY pictures on MY Instagram and who knows what’s next!! She loves her snood and thinks it’s so pretty that Maybe now she will even start to think she’s entitled to “share” my other gifts. I’m kind of thinking we’re entering dangerous territory here! ?Regardless we both want to thank @wheelingweenie For making and gifting these @weenwear snoods to us. We encourage fur friends who have a stalker/copycat hooman like mine to contact her for your own set. #gifted . . . .
