Penny, our black-and-white “Boston spaniel,” came to live with us five years ago this week. Penny was a 7-week-old Boston terrier/cocker spaniel mix who lived at the Franklin County Humane Society in Tennessee. I told her I wasn’t bringing home a dog if I had a bad feeling about it. The way she wags her tail when we come home, or brings us her ball for a rousing game of Ball yes, she knows the word or jumps up on the couch with us when we put out a blanket have been brightening our days for five years now.
