Saint Rafiki

Rafiki is growing into a sweet little soul (though Caspurr the Cornish Rex may not agree at times when her games can get a little over-boisterous)
This morning after her first visit to the garden she dashed back in and rushed straight into my bedroom - I followed rapidly to find her sitting on the bed looking dwn at a dear little greenfinch which had obviously been badly affected by the very cold night.
She must have found him on the path and carried him carefully in to place him on the furry throw on our bed- she looked up at me as if expecting me to do something to help it and raised no objection as we popped it into a box and gave it an hour in the airing cupboard . She's now known as St Fiki.

Yesterday she had her first experience of a free run in woodland- she loved it - even though it was cold, verry muddy and we were attacked by a heavy hailstorm!
By the time we returned there was no option but to bath both Zurie and Fi they were absolutely lagged in mud but very happy - she now looks like a little fluff ball but very elegant as I've trimmed back herhind end a liitle to put her in pyjama trim- it really suits her lovely shape
