I am so happy she is back and she remembers and trusts me.
I took this several days ago.
She looks pretty rough as she is still shedding.
She should be looking much better by mid October, going by previous shots from other years.
For some reason she always sheds later then the males.
She looks about the same in all my previous shots of her from years past at this time year.
She is still spending a lot of time about a half mile from this area, but, she has started coming back to her old area and trying to reclaim it.
Her "male pup" from 3 years ago had forced her out last fall.
I have seen her and the "pup" get into to some pretty heated arguments in the last few days, when she shows up.
I was able to catch some shots this morning of the two of them fighting.
