Penelope Pullen, Our PerPETual babysitter



If you have ever been bored and scrolled through photographs taken in our house, you probably noticed one sweet addition many Ella Kate shots: Miss Penelope.

From the moment we brought EK home, Penelope has been her little dog. Tummy time? Penelope laid beside her on the edge of the playmat. She loves for Ella Kate to tug on her ears, she thinks she's being petted. She walks along beside EK as she crawls. She always just in the periphery - ready in the event the baby needs her.

Penelope has the absolute sweetest personality and loves her people. Ella Kate is lucky to get to grow up with such a loving, protective guardian. Piper likes the baby, too, but isn't quite so free-flowing with her love. :)


Week 3: The first time she jumped on the furniture was to sit beside Ella Kate. You can see the baby's arm - kinda.


The baby's crying - she goes over to try to calm her down.


Laying just beyond the playmat. When I wasn't looking, I'd find her trying to snuggle next to Ella Kate. After a few spankings, she remembered to lay just off the mat.


Reaching in for the ear grab. You'd think Penelope would run away. She never has.


Mom's not looking, she'll steal a quick kiss.


Just in case Ella Kate needs her and Mr. Moo decides to attack. - she's there.

EEEEEEE! I love babies and puppies. There is something special about the love of a dog for their kids ... and they really do think the kids are theirs!

Miss P looks like she's a very attentive and loving puppy-mom. Let's hope she'll feel the same when EK can chase her down!
