Story Card: 

I was out for an evening of folktales and storytelling at the Orkney Storytelling Center when this shot was captured.  Walking up the drive to the location, I heard a noise off to the side of me and when I turned to look, this is the precious furry face I saw.  Of course I laughed, but was lucky enough to compose myself, grab my camera and take the shot before she pulled his head back through the cat door.

Some years later, Mom and I returned to the storytelling centre and learned that Darby had crossed the rainbow bridge.  The lady who owns and operates the centre, was Darby’s grandmom.  She shared with us that Darby had been found as a stray in Edinburgh.  When her daughter came up to Orkney to visit, she brought Darby along.  Darby loved the wide open spaces so much, it was decided that she’d live with her grandmom from that point forward.
