In the evening, Maria comes in from her studio with her laptop to write on her blog. Minnie hops up onto the sofa on her three legs and curls up as close to her as she can get. Maria loves Minnie and loves to cuddle with her. I loved the ease and peace of this photo and this relationship. Minnie is getting older, a little more sensitive to the cold. This time of year, she comes at night to sit by the wood stove (and Maria) and stay warm. Flo comes in also, if there is nothing good to kill out there.
