Wise Sofie

Here's a photo of our old girl from Sunday morning, out on the brick terrace.  She'd got a whiff of spring and wanted to hang out with us outside for a little while.

It seems a very long time ago that Sofie joined us - Mary found her as a stray at the corner of 18th and T NW in the winter of 1996.  That means we've had her for 14 years...the vet thinks she is 17.

Don't let the age fool you.  Last week one of the neighbor's cats sauntered across the lawn after looking at her.  Sofie scampered down the stairs and chased it out of the yard, coming back up on the porch tail high.
