PENNAN TROFINO

6/7/2005 -  3/12/2016

"If I had a flower for every time I thought of you... I could walk in my garden forever." Alfred Tennyson

Pennan was four weeks old when we first met her and joined our family at eight weeks old. For the next ten years and 8 months she gave us pure and unconditional love. When unexpectedly diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma on 3/11/2016 - we knew it was our turn to show her the unconditional love she so graciously gave us - and - on 3/12/2016 we let her go to no longer be held by the cancer that was ravaging her body.
