Gramma

My gramma had a dog who looked like Clyde but smaller, and when we were kids we were so amused at how she'd jump the dog, not Gramma that I think we inadvertently trained her to jump over the barriers my gramma would set up to keep her in/out of certain rooms.

I only recall my Gramma becoming weaker and less energetic that last year of her life.
