Mahina’s Progress: A Gentle Soul Learning to Shine

Trixie’s Life at Foster
What has Trixie been up to at foster — apart from living her best life? Well, bossing miss Rae around for one — but is it really considered ‘bossing’ when you’re just setting a boundary? These two are thick as thieves, but even the best of friends need to remind one…
