Meet Constance. 😎

This sophisticated senior lady oozes confidence, curves, and a complete disinterest in your unsolicited fitness advice. Yes, she’s carrying a few extra pounds. She knows it. The scale knows it. We all know it. Constance, however, prefers to think of it as being exceptionally well prepared for sweater weather. 🍂

Constance is on a slow, but steady weight loss journey, and has come a ways since coming into care! Although dieting is not her fav, Constance is happy to work those arms catching toys on a string! After being introduced to her fancy new running (or walking) wheel, Constance showed us it makes better furniture than exercise equipment.

There are also a couple of important things to know about life with Constance.

First: bum scratches are a hard no. Please respect the lady’s boundaries. 😂

Neck scratches, though? THAT is where the magic happens. Find the right spot and one of those back legs starts kicking like she’s suddenly transformed into a dog getting the world’s greatest belly rub. It’s one of the few times she temporarily forgets she’s supposed to be dignified.

Second: Constance is an absolutely terrible hider.

When she’s getting used to a new space, she may decide she needs a little privacy. Her technique usually involves putting her head behind something and leaving a significant portion of Constance completely visible. Behind a curtain? Perfect. Never mind the bum sticking out. If she can’t see you, clearly you can’t see her. Please play along. 🕵️‍♀️

Once she’s comfortable, Constance is wonderfully calm, quiet and content. She likes to observe what’s happening around her, enjoy some affection on her terms, and simply hang out with her people. She doesn’t need to be in the middle of everything – she’s perfectly happy being your laid-back little sidekick.

Constance is also on a daily thyroid medication to help keep her feeling her best. It’s an inexpensive medication, and thankfully, she takes it like an absolute champ. 💊

If your home could use a calm senior lady with excellent comedic timing, strong opinions about where she may be scratched, and absolutely no understanding of how hiding works, Constance may just be your girl.
