This beautiful little girl, affectionately named Golden Girl, is a stray that was found by one of the guys in our neighborhood. She quickly became a love of Ms. Jeri's, our cook, and has been a permanent resident of our backyard for more than a month. Because the temperatures are so cold here now she has stayed in the camper with me. Tonight as I was decorating my little Christmas tree I just couldn't resist. She's so good that she didn't really even flinch. I love having such a lovable companion, especially as the nights get cooler. She often sleeps curled up in a ball right by my head and can be hard to wake up in the morning if she is comfortable enough. :) After Christmas she will be going to live with a very loving family from our church and will be well loved and cared for. She will also only be three blocks away. ;)
