gracie is feeling her age… aren’t we all?

I don’t know how old Gracie is — she was a rescue. I do know her days are different now than they were last year even. She sleeps more. A LOT more.

Occasionally, she’s still a puppy. She’ll try to beat Dharma to a toy and dance for a treat. She still gets pretty excited over the words “breakfast” and “dinner.”

It’s sort of like me… but I just WANT to sleep more and I refuse to dance for a treat.

Not much of the white stuff left — but it’s still wintertime and it’s still cold in Indiana.

Collette has had several days off so far this year from school because of slick conditions, but not as many as one year I remember for Ben. A time when he was in high school classes were still being held in June, AND classes were even scheduled on Saturday a couple weekends in a row. He thought he would die.

Ooh rah — wintertime in southern Indiana!

Although annoying, this aging puppy is so very sweet. She loves everyone… all the time.

The bouquet from Perry, Ben and Coco make the kitchen smell wonderful.  Check out the photobomber — she’s always in the kitchen hoping a morsel of food will fall.

Just like me… Gracie is looking her age. She still has some mighty fine attributes… the most important one being her love for one little girl in particular.

Gracie is getting old!
