Lost Pet in Nanakuli, Oahu
LOST PET: Reposting from Find Penny "This is VERY long. I have no new updates, everyone is still being so kind and patient. I do think I'm going to have to switch numbers soon so I'm waiting on a stamp to come in to put the new phone number on the rest of my mailers. I bulk ordered and this was just kinda something that came up unexpectedly. Tomorrow I have off though so I'm going to go hike and ride around just in case I see her I still dream about Penny. I had a dream last night where I found her just outside in some trees. In real life I had put some food out for her, so getting to find her in my dream was really special. Waking up, I look at her picture on my nightstand, check my notifications, mark as 'still missing' on pawboost, and then it's business as usual. Today though I finally watched the new Lilo and Stitch. I was doing fine, it's pretty funny, and I forgot how crazy Stitch made their lives for a second! But it got to the part where the ship crashed and Lilo was trying to save Stitch but he was too heavy. Nani wanted to go back to shore and Lilo was screaming 'what happened to nobody gets left behind!?' I realized for the first time that one day we are going to have to move and Penny might still be lost. I might actually have to leave her behind. As if that's not bad enough, this part happens and I have completely broken down in tears. I'm still crying because I remember being 21 and moving into an apartment by myself for the first time. My boyfriend and I just broke up and it was traumatic to begin with. I had a 1 year old cat, a futon I had bought to sleep on at a friend's house. And my mom just gave me her bedframe from when she was 16. I worked two full time jobs to pay my bills and one of my coworkers started staying in my living room on that futon because she actually lived over an hour away. I would binge watch Grey's anatomy because it felt better to cry and be mad at them then to deal with my own issues, and I ate tacos every day because I could stretch one pound of ground meat, tortillas, and a can of Rotel for a week. One day, my roommate asked to go to the animal shelter 'just to look' and I was very against it because I had a cat and she had a dog and we were struggling already. We get off work and it's storming bad but we still go, we look around and play with all the babies, and nothing crazy happens. They're completely over capacity and there's only one person working at the desk. Then we get to the end of the row, there's one dark kennel with a bunch of storage stuff like hoses, a fan, and extra beds in it, and some weird black lump in there. I realized it was a dog curled up literally as tightly as it could get. I go in slowly and it lets me pet it but doesn't move and just whale eyes. After a few minutes my roommate brings a lead over and the dog lets me pick it up and we go outside. Right back into a croissant shape lol I sit outside with the dog for about ten minutes just petting and talking, and it does move a little to get slightly closer to me. It's right before 5 now and they are about to close so I gently pick the dog up and carry it straight to the front desk. I never set her down, I just said 'I'm taking this one tonight' and paid the $10 adoption fee. No paperwork for health, no lead, no food included, just an appointment date for her spay, and the rescue collar she was wearing said 'female unaltered' and an adoption receipt. My roommate drove my car so I could hold my new dog, we went straight to the vet to get information on dewormer and shots and so forth. My new dog then decided she had to pee really bad and peed all over the vets office on our way to PetSmart for her bath (that's where we worked) my roommate and I were trying to think of names. She was stuck on calling her 'PeePee' for obvious reasons (she's literally the only person) lol I said no that can't be her name but we could find something that PeePee could be short for! We literally said 'Penelope' at the same exact time and that was it. From that day on, she was 'Penny' or 'PeePee' short for Penelope. I financed a mattress later that week and after it got delivered, we sat in the room and I said 'it's just you and me girls' (pictured below) I'm fortunate enough now to have reconnected with my dad, and I have my spouse now and all of our searchssh.com - reportssh.com - sshintel.com #hawaii #stolenstuffhawaii #lostpet #missing #rescue Disclaimer: This post contains community-reported information and reflects the perspective of the original poster.
