Summer Nights

Last summer my husband & I started a tradition where we sit outside with Holly on warm summer nights. Last night I sat outside with her & once again she managed to surprise me. I've always known that Holly has protective instincts but I never imagined that she'd feel the need to protect me from the cats that live in our neighbourhood but that's exactly what she did. She sprang to attention when she saw it & refused to leave my side. I have to admit that the whole situation made me laugh but it's nice to know that she'd be there for me if I ever did need protecting.
