Six days ago I posted a picture and blurb about Cleopatra and her indepenance.
Well things have changed.
I had a nice Christmas with a great surprise. Cleopatra came to the back door and when I open up to say hi, she walked into the house.
After nearly 18 months on walkabout, she decided to come in for some R&R.
As she came in, she got reacquainted with Porsche, her daughter and the newest family member, Buzby. I was nervous but everyone handled the challenge with grace.
I spent the morning calming her, welcoming her home and then a couple of hours carefully removing her tangles and mats. She decided to isolate in the master bath and when I went in to do my morning routine, she walked into the shower.
You don't need to hit me over the head to take a hint. During her bath, I removed layers of dirt and a few more tangles. As I write this she is resting. She came in last night and when I woke up this morning, Porsche, Buzby and yes, Cleopatra were all sleeping on my bed.
What a blessing.
