We’ve Noticed a Shift. A Good Shift

Rana

Rana has been a little different lately (in a good way). It has even been evident in photos – her photos have come out more gorgeous than ever.

Rana has always been engaged and present, but, somehow, her eyes just seem bigger and brighter lately. She has small, dark-colored eyes, but in the past few weeks, they have appear more open.

She is always light, but she’s become a little more luminous, with big, wide-open eyes.

We tell the girls everything, and when Scott told her something exciting the other day, she gave a big rumble and became so squeaky. It was a very sweet moment, and further demonstrated the change in her.

It’s hard to express the change – because Rana is always our happy elephant, but she just seems happier and more content. There’s been some sort of shift, and we have no way of knowing what it is, but it is charming to witness even if it’s hard to quantify.

    I bet the Ellies drink in every word that comes out of your mouths! What a cute story about Rana and Scott. Oh my gosh, I’m so happy for her! It sounds like she is just naturally happy but sanctuary is filling out her happiness even more. Yay, Rana!

    She’s picking up all the love that is directed at her and all the elephants and founders and carers. Elephants are just as sensitive as we are to what comes towards them. Your comments just confirm that 🙂
