Sunday Smile: Rana Carries Her Snack

September 14, 2025

Rana quite frequently brings a smile to our faces because of how unique and lovely she is, but she also has a silly streak. Here, she’s with Mara (as usual) and, while Mara is having a very chill afternoon snacking on grass, Rana, however, is wandering around the edges of the yard, perhaps looking for something better. She certainly seemed pleased to have discovered some much larger vegetation. For some reason, she felt more like carrying and displaying it than actually eating it. A Sunday Smile indeed.

      She sometimes has flare ups of old pressure sores from before sanctuary. If you see spots like that, it’s usually a topical medication she got during treatment.
