My Patient Assistant

I'm searching for bugs and Mishka is peering at me through the mugwort.

I play 'nutkins' in the garden at dusk with Mishka so that she has it out of her system before bedtime. This evening I threw a windfall apple for her. She loved the game then ate it. I was so pleased, in fact I was moved to tears.  My darling Ollie dog used to love apples.
