God did indeed bless both of you the day you found each other. To think that some (I can't use the words here that I'd like to!) left her to die in the Winter WITHOUT claws to catch food or defend herself deserves all the rotten things life can throw at them. Thank goodness you've been patient with her phobias; she has repayed you many times over with her love and loyalty. We need more people like you in the world!
