Greta Going On 10

I wonder when this happened?

Years ago, when I brought Greta home from Germany, she was a fiercely independent little dog, and pretty much her own pup. She liked us well enough, but did not snuggle with us and kept to herself.

She’s always enjoyed running and chasing chipmunks, and being a wild beast!

I loved her, but I knew where I stood and somehow, over the years, I made my peace with it.

Then it happened. Out of the blue, really. One day I noticed that Greta was snuggling and cuddling with me all the time. She’d become my sweet little girl!

It’s as though, in her elder years (she is 9 and a half), she has become an entirely different dog!

She goes outside now, and lies under the fruit trees and sits. She doesn’t take off, and she is able to be trusted as she enjoys the days.

There is something to be said about dogs getting older and more mature.
