Zsofia had quietly gone out about twenty minutes earlier. I sensed she was enjoying her inner thoughts. "Could you maybe just sit with me for a bit?" I asked Bai. "Everybody is busy and I would like a little company. We could look up some new recipes for lamb chops; Devin has some on order for us."
After a couple more minutes I noticed Zsofia stand, stretch and shake. I nudged her sister who turned her head to see. Bailey jumped off of the bed and scampered through the dog door wooing a chase song.
Later, Zsofia came in and flopped on her side next to me. "Thanks, momma. I saw you distract Bailey and I appreciated the time alone. I don't know how White Dog handled all of the constant responsibilities of leading the White Dog Army; sometimes I just need to sit alone and think. It is almost like at those times I can hear her gently encouraging and advising me."
