Later that same day, Senator Pennycuick shared a lighter moment involving her pets: “Happy Tango Tuesday! We are soaking up this extremely rare “quiet” moment. Don’t be fooled, what he is actually doing is plotting his next move of craziness! He clearly needs to keep life exciting for his leading lady, Coco Chanel (yes, Tango has a girlfriend!). “
