Methods Penny and I Are Precisely Alike – Dogster

Hello, I’m Savanna! Learn my introduction to study extra about me and my spunky Chihuahua combine, Penny.

We’ve in all probability all heard of these human and canine look-alike contests, the place different folks and judges vote on which canine seems to be essentially the most like their homeowners. I wouldn’t enter a kind of contests with Penny, as a result of truthfully she and I don’t look something like one another.

However after proudly owning Penny for a number of years now, I believe there are some ways in which Penny acts like me. I don’t know if my character has rubbed off on her or if she’s simply doing her personal little factor and it’s coincidental that it’s just like a few of the issues I do. We people do prefer to attempt to humanize our pets in any case. Nevertheless it’s nonetheless enjoyable to faux that I’ve a greatest little canine buddy who likes the identical issues I do even when her motives are a bit completely different than mine.

Listed below are some methods my canine and I are precisely alike within the issues we do, but in addition the fact of the scenario.

We Each Love the Seashore

Penny and I each love going to the seashore. We love getting out and having fun with the sunshine and recent air, enjoyable on the tender sand, and having a bit snack or drink. However neither of us actually likes the ocean all that a lot.

However we don’t just like the ocean. I really like getting about ankle-deep within the ocean to search for shells which have washed up and taking fairly photos of it. However I don’t like getting out within the ocean if the waves are tough or if I can’t see the underside and what I’m stepping on. I really like a pleasant, calm seashore day with easy waves and clear water, which not often occurs.

However Penny doesn’t like getting within the ocean as a result of she doesn’t like water, and she or he’s not the most effective swimmer. I can’t actually blame her there. The ocean may be fairly intimidating for a small canine.

We’re Each Anxious

One purpose Penny and I get alongside so nicely is as a result of we’re each anxious creatures. After all, I get anxious about rational human issues, and generally issues which are completely irrational if I’m being trustworthy.

However Chihuahuas are simply thought of an anxious breed generally, so I believe it’s simply a part of Penny’s temperament that she’s a bit anxious. Additionally, I’d be a bit anxious too if I used to be a small canine in an enormous home the place even two of the kitties are greater than me. Plus, canine can decide up on our feelings, so me being anxious in all probability makes Penny much more anxious.

The benefit of each of us being anxious is that we will help soothe one another and supply emotional help.

We Each Love Going Locations

Generally I like to simply sit at house and never do something. However I can get bored simply as a result of I’m not an enormous TV watcher, and until the e book is actually good, I can solely learn for thus lengthy earlier than I have to take a break.

So, I prefer to get out of the home as a lot as doable, going for walks, going procuring, and many others. Penny likes to go locations too. She doesn’t care if we’re going to take her for a stroll on the park or if we’re going to the vet. As quickly as we inform her she’s coming with us, she jumps up within the automobile and is able to go.

Whereas I like going locations as a result of it retains me from losing interest, I believe Penny simply likes spending as a lot time with us as doable.

We’re Each Introverted

Penny and I are each introverted relating to different members of our species. We each desire solely interacting with members of our family and shut household. I don’t prefer to be round different folks and huge crowds make me nervous, so I’d relatively simply hang around with my household.

Penny doesn’t prefer to be round different canine, even canine which are the identical measurement as her. She’ll give different canine a bit butt sniff in greeting, which I’d guess is just like the human equal of smiling and waving at somebody, however then she simply goes about her manner. There are solely a choose few household canine that she’ll play with, however she principally likes to work together with folks she is aware of and cats.

I do know generally we give off the vibe that we’re snobs, however actually we’re simply introverted.

We Each Love Nap Time

After I was little, I by no means understood why my mother and father took so many naps. Now that I’m an grownup, I completely get it! Generally I simply really feel drained after a protracted day and have to put down and relaxation for about an hour.

Penny performs for a short while within the morning, then naps all day whereas I work, which is nice since I work at home and she or he’s not distracting me. Then she’ll get up within the afternoon and play some extra.

However what’s humorous is that if I’m going lay down for a nap within the afternoon, it doesn’t matter what Penny’s doing. She is going to cease, rise up on the mattress with me, and take one other nap. After we get up an hour later, she’s up till bedtime. She’s very adamant about bedtime too. As soon as 10:30 hits, she’s urging us to go lay down and fall asleep.

We Each Like Gardening

Gardening is one in all my favourite issues to do. I really like vegetation and flowers, and I really like rising issues due to all of the bees and butterflies flowers deliver. I’ll go exterior a number of instances a day to see if I’ve any new flowers blooming or see if there are any new pollinators on any of my vegetation.

Penny loves “gardening” within the sense that she likes strolling by means of the flower beds sniffing flowers or monitoring a chipmunk or neighborhood cat that has been strolling by means of my flower beds. Generally she’ll assist me dig if she sees me planting one thing new, however she by no means digs something up or tries to munch on any of my vegetation.

Two Peas in a Pod

I might in all probability sit right here all day and consider extra ways in which Penny and I are alike. However despite the fact that we love to do quite a lot of the identical issues and our personalities are comparable, generally our motives for why we do the issues we do are completely completely different. As a lot as I prefer to humanize Penny, she has her canine instincts and I’ve my human instincts. I’m simply glad I’ve a bit canine greatest pal that likes to spend time with me it doesn’t matter what I’m doing.
