Marla, Much More Marly

The last time I saw Marla properly was in May, though I did get a shot of her at 10:00pm on the longest day.

She spotted me this afternoon when I went for a walk on my own and came to greet me. I was so surprised. She has lost all her gingery coat, apart from a scruffy piece at the base of her tail, which is now blonde. Her mane is now largely blonde too. Her body is much lighter in colour. She looked so different that I sketched the pattern on her muzzle to confirm to myself that it really was her.
