What a beauty! What’s her name?

Ritual Night. She’s a 10 year old, barrel aged Texas funeral cake stout.

Sounds sublime. Must be great to cosy up with after a long day.

Winter. Rescue. Deaf. Super sweet.

She’s gorgeous! I had a deaf rescue., too.

Does she know any sign language? My Emma knew food, up, down, I love you, pretty girl, and a few others. She responded when she wanted to. :)

Cute that she knew some signs.

Winter doesn't know any that I'm aware of.... the shelter claimed she was a stray/street cat.

So glad Winter has such a comfortable and obviously cultured home now.

‘Pretty girl’ was the first sign Emma learnt; I’m pretty sure she thought that was her name. I signed it at her every time she looked at me at first, lol. After a bit she would pay more attention after I’d do that sign, like she was expecting more.

She was ten when she learnt her first signs. She picked up on several pretty quickly after that. ‘Food’ was the cutest, because she started doing it at me after a while (probably because she knew a treat was coming immediately with that one, where with things like ‘down’ she didn’t get a treat if I had to physically put her down from where she didn’t belong. It was obvious she knew what it meant because she’d go out of her way to look away from me if she didn’t want to hear that one.

Sorry for the mini-screed, but Winter reminds me of my girl and I’ll bet she’d respond to ‘pretty girl’. :)
