That is a wonderful article. The whole time I was reading it all I could think of was my little Scout. She suffered like that for who knows how long but now after almost seven months here she is really coming around. She sleeps with me every night and she follows me from room to room. She really makes me feel like I matter to her and I think it is because she finally feels like someone cares about her. Thanks for sharing that.

Jen - I think your adaptation is great and should really get the point across to those looking to adopt.
