Happy Old Lady

Granny rolling 1

Having just posted an update on Granny a.k.a. Duchess last week, it seemed appropriate when I looked out my office window yesterday evening and saw her rolling … and rolling … and rolling!  This was one happy little old lady.  She loves being outside in the grass, even when the weather is brisk … and especially when there's any sunshine at all.  Weak late evening sunlight like this is enough for her.  I think because she spent most of her 14 years living in a garage and never getting outside, she's trying to make up for lost time now that she's at the ranch.  And remember, Granny is completely blind and deaf … but that doesn't keep her from enjoying the outdoors!

Here are some more photos from her frolicking yesterday:

Yes, no matter how old and disabled you may be, you can still be a rolling dog!

    It saddens me that this precious dog was kept in the dark garage all her life, but on the other hand, it thrills me that she is finally living at the ranch and is enjoying her golden years.

    Oh, bless her heart! Thank God for giving her the sunshine & the grass to roll in. Thank you for giving her this little piece of heaven on earth & helping to get her out of that stupid garage! Poor angel, breaks my heart to think she had to endure that in her life and grateful for her that time is over & she can just be a happy rolling dog!

    My old girl looks just like this when she rolls in the grass – of course accompanied by hippo-like grunts of pure joy! Just thinking of the big difference you’ve made in Granny’s life warms my heart. Keep rolling girl – even when the old bones start creaking there’s still some fun to be had.

    My eyes are filled with happy tears for Duchess/Granny! It’s so heart-warming to look at her rolling over and over again in the grass, thinking of all those dark years spent in a garage. Now she must be in doggy heaven, with plenty of room, fresh air, good food (where’s the bread?:-)) and lots and lots of LTC…
    Thank you for making my day with these adorable pictures and for giving Duchess a great new home!

    An upside down smile is the best one of all… I wish for many more happy moments in the sunshine for her.

    God love you for taking her. I hope she lives a very long time. How cruel some people can be, but she’s having the time of her life now.

    Dogs live in the present (thank goodness!) so keep up the present rolling and napping Granny.
    We love to watch you enjoying life, no matter what your posture!

    When my dogs roll and roll they are rolling over some dead mouse, rat, frog or snake! Then it’s bath time. Grand Duchess is loving life in the green grass! Belly rubs to you Duchess.
