The Neighborhood Watch Team

So, what can I say? I've come to refer to Stella as Doto - Defier of the Odds. Since her trip to OSU in March, she continues to keep on keeping on with a smile on her face and a big, loud, joyful song in her heart. She's eating well, peeping and pooping regularly, and definitely wants to go out for a walk (two, if she's at the beach) everyday. Bar nothing.

A while back I mentioned that she was panting a little more than usual and seemed restless. Must have been an anomaly because she's only panting when the house is warm (as she's always done), and she gets restless when she must - MUST - go out for her daily stroll through the 'hood. And I bet she some days she goes up and down the stairs to and from my office at least a half dozen times. Defier of the Odds.

Today after our walk she plopped herself down in the front yard to watch the world go by. Her somewhat faithful companion Axel was at her beckon and call in case she should need any assistance with neighborhood management duties. 

These two make quite a pair. Commando Cat and Defier of the Odds.

Good thing Doto has a beauty appointment on Friday. . . .
