Yesterday and today Shadow surprised us by walking out of the woods at this place that she seldom visits. She is the only female coming at this point. I don’t know why she is picking us to visit, but it’s always good to see her. Hoping to get her on the scale to see what a 35-year-old might weigh, but that will be hard as shy as she is.
A high point today started with a shock. People told me to check Ted who they said was breathing too fast. I saw him lying there in a way that made me worry after what I’d heard. I called his name, and he was his same old self with his welcoming sounds and desire to be close. What a relief! Ted has stolen my heart just like he has stolen many others.
Thank you for all you do,
