Lady Bird (Valentine)

Hi Harriett!

Hope you are well. Thought I'd send you a quick little update on Lady Bird. She has a new best friend... We adopted a cat a couple weeks ago (she was a rescue that Angels Among Us took in from a shelter, fighting infections as a young kitten). Anyway, she's around 7 months now and is perfectly healthy.

This cat is fearless (which you can probably imagine knowing Lady has made her the quick alpha). Lady is perfect with her... learned quickly to read her queues on how to play and when to leave her alone. They even play with cat toys together. 

They bat balls and tethered toys back and forth - which is about the cutest thing ever. Lady even lays off chewing the cat's toys. They nap together, ambush/play chase with each other and greet us at the door together and beg for food in unison (though the last isn't the best habit).

She's doing well with the other training/obedience issues, making steady progress. I'm looking forward to getting her out on some longer hikes and exploring now that the weather is better. :)
