Pupy Emerges From the Trees

June 11, 2025

There’s nothing like having the freedom to go wherever you choose, whenever you choose. That’s something that, as humans, we often take for granted. Pupy, once surrounded by a big city, now has the ability to lean into her natural instincts. She is no longer subject to the urban sounds and vibrations of people and cars buzzing around and has the ability to lose herself in the quiet of the evening or in the songs of the birds who also make sanctuary their homes. 

Pupy seems to find enjoyment in the trees that fill her habitat. We’ve mentioned before how easy it is for her to find spots where she can go incognito. Here’s another quick peek at Pupy emerging from the woods, walking confidently through the tall grass and making the most of her day.

    I can’t even imagine how happy she must be! I can only hope and pray she has decades left to enjoy her new life.

      Pupy still seems to believe the 4-wheeler is the ice cream truck. Some of the other girls only get excited to hear it when they know it’s meal time, but Pupy seems to get excited.
