Early Morning Open Thread: Lucky

Early Morning Open Thread: “Gypsy’s Journey”
From commentor Bob D: I first saw Gypsy when she chased my car after pre-settlement inspection of our new house in Western North Carolina in early march 2005. I didn’t see her again for several months since she hid when my pack of four dogs passed her home. She had chased one of our cats …
