Meet Penelope.
Penelope belongs to my grandson and his new wife but in reality, she belongs to the entire extended family because it took only seconds for her to melt everyone's hearts when she was first brought home.
I asked my grandson to hold Penelope up with the blue sky behind her and was very pleased with the result.
Penelope is the twin sister of Saphira but they are not identical. I will introduce her to you tomorrow. They are a Shih Tzu x Maltese breed and needless to say.......are adorable and beautiful in equal amounts. I didn't really need an excuse to visit my grandson and our grandaughter in law, but now I have two irresisitable, extra incentives.
I am submitting these images into the @dailypetphotography contest organised by @dpet.
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.
Thank you @pixresteemer.

Hello Penelope!

Penelope told me (in bark talk) to say "Hello" @ligayagardener and "Nice to Meet You."
Athena says 'woof' right back😊
Don't you just love the friendships made here in Steemit? lol.
There are so many!
Awww she is so so cute
U&R !tip
She is indeed JJ. Many thanks for your wonderful support and my Tip Treat. That was a lovely surprise.
MY pleasure :)
Penelope is adorable and a lovely name!
Every time I hear the name Penelope I giggle to myself, for when I was born my Mother used to watch a British show of the same name, it was her favourite show. In fact she liked the show so much, she wanted to name me Penelope.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photo.
Oh......thank you for sharing ths story with me @thistle-rock (Did your mother call you Thistle Rock instead?) It's interesting when names trigger certain memories for us isn't it? I'm glad you enjoyed viewing these photos and I appreciate you dropping by. Lovely to meet you.
You are very welcome. No my mother ended up giving me a perfectly Scottish name (I was born in Scotland) of Heather.
Thistle-rock is a combination of my two names under which I create my work, Thistleworks Designs and rockaDoodle Art 😊
Thanks for asking and nice to meet you too!
I should have put 2 and 2 together regarding your heritage with the word 'thistle,' in your name. Rockadoodle art sounds interesting too. Do you have a second account here in steemit under the name @thistle-rock?
No @trudeehunter, I only use one name on the platform, thus the combo. I thought trying to manage one account was enough, lol. I thought to somehow put everything under one name but I have yet to decide if having too much variety is a bad thing and perhaps I should be focussing on one niche. Time will tell which proves to be better.
Thus far, what I have been trying to do is put some of the art into the stories through photographs, although I have been posting some work on #needleworkmonday (stitch work falls under Thistleworks Designs in my every day life)
Thanks for asking though; through time little bits of both will be sneaking through.
I share your sentiments about having two accounts @thistle-rock I was going to use a seperate one for my digital art and paintings but I decided not to in the end. I may change my mind when the steem dollar goes up. Time will tell indeed.
You are obviously multi-talented if you can do needlework too. It's great that people are keeping these skills going. Home made crafts have a definite appeal and always will, I believe.
It’s true, a lot of the old arts are disappearing.
Then new ones start up, recreations of the old. They don’t teach it in school anymore because unlike the old days, you can’t make a living off most of them.... then again, it’s hard to make a living off any kind of art isn’t it?

Awww... Cute!
I got to pet a pooch tonight, when I went shopping for Christmas gifts. A big mutt came up and wanted scratches and pats. :-)
She's cute alright @fotosdenada It's always great when a pooch takes a liking to you and wants a pat. These encounters are one of the joys of life. They are so trusting but they can usually pick a person who is not to be trusted. Their instincts are amazing and I think sometimes we don't give them enough credit.
