Alayne got this shot a few minutes ago this afternoon. That's blind-and-deaf Granny (Duchess) doing her sun worshipper thing. I've mentioned before that Granny loves to be outside, more so than nearly all of our other dogs, as long as the sun is out. Today was a fairly brisk fall day, and contrary to the forecast, we ended up with some very nice sunshine. That brought Granny outside, and she has an uncanny knack for finding the warmest place to be — in this case, right against the door of Kelly's Cottage. She was clearly enjoying soaking in the sun and having the white door reflect it back onto her. This is a classic pose for her, too — chin up, ears out sideways, little black nose pointed straight at the sun.

This is so heartwarming, especially as noted, that she had spent “most of her life living in a garage in California”. Simple pleasures. What a sweetheart!
