As promised, I took Bella into the Big Backyard as soon as I arrived so she could have some exploring time. The heat today – 90! – made it less than fun but we had a visit, explored a few things, and headed back to the Lovely Garden. The sun is quite blaring today so she made it clear she preferred to play inside instead. She gave me a dance of A/C joy and I sat on the floor to play. My reward…she came back to give me a sniff over and I received the loveliest lick on my arm. 💕 😍 I wanted to dance for joy! Our interaction is still all on Bella’s terms and that’s just fine. I’ll take whatever she wants to give.

ps – searched and quickly found the elusive Luna. Just wanted to make sure I had eyes on her today 🐈‍⬛
