Suki's elderly companion, thirteen-year-old Saoirse, underwent an operation this week to remove a benign growth on her hind leg. She returne confused, miserable, and in pain, and Suki showed her good bedside manner by lying down next to her and being there with her. Suki's presence seemed to calm Saoirse, who stopped crying and went to sleep. The next day we set out for a walk to the fields only to find that after we had walked for over a quarter of an hour Saoirse was plodding on determinedly benind us! Amazing how animals can recover so quickly and how resilient they can be.
For those of you interested, Saoirse is recuperating slowly but surely.
