Hello Trixie, it's a pleasure to meet such a sweet patient lovely girl. Wow! It sounds as if you and your human were waiting for each other; what a perfect match! I am so glad you ended up with your present family because you all loved her even when she wasnt officially yours. Sometimes things do work out for the best in a good way. I can tell from the writeup that your human loves you very much and that you filled a void in her life (I'm assuming your human is a female). My best to both of you and Congrats on being DOTD!
