Info Post
Greetings, tis I, 'Princess Penny' the Jack Russell dog and modest internet star.  And speaking of 'star', my human is always looking into outer space.   My human, yes Gary, who I so kindly allow to live with me, has a passion for astronomy and excelled in science class when it came to outer space and the planets in particular.
Gary told me about the time in Vancouver when he was a ten year old in grade five.  In the science class, each child was assigned a planet to do a story on.   Gary, being so knowledgeable about the planets, stood up in front of the class and gave each person, according to the planet's orbit around the sun, a planet to write about.  And so he started with the first person and worked his way down each row of students. "Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Urrr......*Giggle* .... Uranus, Neptune, Pluto."  Three times he repeated and three predictable giggles later, he was finished.
Gary has told me that those know-it-all astronomers have demoted poor Pluto from a planet to an icy rock floating forlornly around the sun.  They actually classified Pluto as a "Dwarf planet".   Of course, the good creatures of Pluto can look out into the night sky, which I assume, is all the time and look past Neptune to have a good laugh at Uranus.  Gary has never been the same since those know-it-all astronomers discovered rings around Uranus.....


Gary has told me about a movie called "Star Wars".  One of the main characters was named, "Princess Leia". He showed me this picture and I immediately noted her hairstyle.

My ears can fold back by themselves.  I can even run around and they can stay that way.  A bit of a mystery, along with human's wondering why their laces untie themselves, why one sock goes missing and what happens to those twenty pens that suddenly vanish when you need to jot down something really important during that phone call.  
Yes I, 'Princess Penny', have come to the conclusion of my eagerly anticipated 'pawsting'.  May the 'Paws' be with you.......
