homecoming

　　was

　　a

　　grand

　　reunion

　　between the two.

　　Grandma was again taken to the hospital. Penny，as usual, sat watching out of the window for the car bringing Grandma home. Two mornings later when the dog woke up, she couldn' t seem to work out the stiffness in her hips as she usually did. The same morning，she began having seizures (疾病发作). At age fifteen，we knew it was time. My mother and aunt took her to the veterinarian (兽医)

　　and stayed with her until the end.

　　Now the big dilemma was whether to tell Grandma while she was still in the hospital or wait. The decision was made to tell her while she was in the hospital because when we pulled up at the house, the first thing Grandma would look for was her beloved Penny watching out of the window and then happily greeting her at the door. Grandma shed some tears but said she knew that it had to be done so Penny wouldn't suffer.

　　That night while still in the hospital, Grandma had a massive heart attack. The doctors frantically worked on her but could not revive her. After fifteen years of loving companionship, Grandma and Penny passed away within a few hours of each other. God had it all worked out—Penny was waiting at the door when Grandma came home.

　　1．Why was the dog named Penny?

　　A．Because this was the name of the place where she was born.
