Here's what the humans have to say about me:
We have made a mistake. We thought our schnoodle sisters were a bonded pair the way they followed each other and did everything together. But after a few separate vet appointments and a trial separation, they were not at all happy to be reunited and we have realized they are actually much happier, more relaxed, better behaved, and better off apart. What initially seemed like an inseparable family bond was actually jealously and a bit of an unhealthy bullying relationship, trying to keep the other from getting toys, food, and attention and riling each other up. They are both sweethearts and fine with other dogs besides each other, but littermate syndrome is a real phenomenon in many puppies raised together especially same sex.
So first up is the smaller sister Penelope. She’s 8.5 years old, 15lbs, and a fun funny lively playful affectionate little schnoodle and the more outgoing and social of the 2. She’s spayed and had a dental, has some very early kidney disease that she’s on a special diet for and daily medication. She has mild chronic dry eye and is on twice daily prescription eye drops for life that she’s very good for. She likes other dogs but is mostly a people person and would be fine as an only dog too (no cats though). She likes her walks and stuffed squeaky toys and is looks and acts half her age.
