Daisy is nearly five months old, and she’s doing well. This is a common scene that warms my heart — the three of them relaxing, sleeping, or playing on the porch. Zelda is half out of the picture on the left. Nick and Daisy are snuggled together on the doormat, … Continue reading →
I was watching Daisy eat a can of food, and Nick crept up behind her, surprising her. This is the three shot sequence the game camera caught of their exchange: Zelda was waiting for me to leave so she would eat.
