Yesterday evening, after her usual wander round the car park Isis walked quite calmly with Di and Bill for about fifteen minutes before lying down and refusing to move.

It was good to be able to speak to a mate again!

But I am too impatient. Little Isis has only been with me for just over four weeks. I expect too much. She’s doing fine.

Later that evening, Isis snuggles up, sighs contentedly and spreads her legs across mine.

This is our first couch futon potato snuggle.
