When we picked Toby up from the Border Collie Rescue of California center we thought it would be nice for him to have a companion. A few months later we saw "Dot" on their site, so we contacted Bobby again and were soon on our way to the high Mojave Desert. We brought Dot home and renamed her Penny. Her full name is "Lady Penelope", but she also has "Dogzilla" as a nickname. Bobby described her as "lacking in manners" and she's still a bit careless with her feet. However, she learns quickly, so she'll probably get a bit more dainty over time. She's quite obedient, but very, very inquisitive and boisterous.

Penny soon settled in very nicely with Toby. They make very vociferous guard dogs. They play together a lot and we take them for a nice long walk every evening. Like Toby, Penny is also an ardent squirrelologist and gourmet! She will eat anything, including credit cards, so a lot of things have been moved out of reach.
