I really have managed to learn from her. All those little things in life that I noticed she would observe, or the ways she would interact with other living things and people. One time she came back inside with a frog. She frog was completely unharmed. Another time I caught her in the garden with a pidgeon. Then, recently, a hedgehog.

She had such childlike wonder about her. Never showing a single sign of aggression. Instead, always with those little eyes looking at you, and a frequent nudge to say that she wanted more stroking, hugs, little kisses, and, well, snacks.

In the evening she would get so excited and come running up to me, she would shake her head in the direction of where I should follow her as she skipped on the spot. I'd get up, and I'd let her outside, and all she would do is go out and sit. Night time was when all the fun animals would come out, and she knew it.
