The many expressions of Happy…she is so expressive. She’s always willing to pose for a photo unlike all our other animals who never really like to cooperate. Here’s a few recent photos of Happy our senior rescue dog who is doing so well!
Confident Happy:
Wistful Happy:
Eyeing Happy:
Amused Happy:
(Probably one of my favorite photos of Happy! She’s always grinning in some way…and I love when her little snaggletooth is showing. She is so lovable.)
Distinguished Happy:
Playful Happy:
Smushed Happy:
Napping Happy:
Elvin Happy:
A-Million-Miles-Away-Happy:

(It turns out that Happy doesn’t really like the outdoors….unless there is snow, sleet or ice.)
Grinning Happy:
Spa Happy:
Proud Happy:
I can’t leave out the other animals so here are a few recent shots:
Max after his summer haircut. I think his tongue grew:
Max getting a bath recently:
Plump laying eggs in our flower basket and yelling at me to “step away” as usual:
A few of the chickens taking a dustbath in my lavender garden:

I post most of Happy’s photos and videos on her own Instagram page at Happy the Happiest Dog.
You can read more about our chickens here and more about Happy here!
Thanks for reading friends!

That was a nice break from mostly reading posts or blog. Makes me want to grab my camera and photo my feathered and furry family.

Great book Lassoing the Sun by Mark Woods. It’s about his travels to National Parks plus family memories.
Truly enjoy your animal friends.
Ashley Hackshaw says
Oh thanks! That sounds like a book I’d love!

Happy’s photos make me happy! I can’t help but smile at her little whimsical face, and I love the way you refer to her as an eggplant! I love her rescue story, thank you for helping her! I always look forward to your posts!

We have a “Happy” rescue dog in his senior years, so always like seeing Happy, your rescue senior, and we are “down” in the Upstate of SC and visit Bryson City frequently on train rides, as our 20-year-old son is a train enthusiast and he is an engineer, too, so I feel a special connection to just about everything you write about! We even have Barred Rock laying hens who are Husband’s pets, although he loves the Senior Happy Coondog, too. Always brings a smile on my face to see smiles on Happy… keep on posting!
Ashley Hackshaw says
Aww thanks for rescuing another senior! So glad you enjoy Bryson City. I love it here!

I get your emails…and I was trying to “like” all the pictures of Happy and his chicks…

DON’T tell Happy, but the “eggplant Happy” looks like a cat from that overhead angle! He’s so photogenic – love his smiles!
Anita Rosinski says
Thanks for sharing the pictures of Happy and your other fur babies. I can tell your animals are loved and well taken care of. Your pictures are always a joy to see, your cute chicks and dogs always bring a smile..
