Thanks to all of you for responding.

Slick, of course, feel free to share Emma's story, I really welcome any and all advice.

Like most of you, when I take in an animal, I have made a lifetime commitment. I vow to give it the most love, best care and food that I can possibly can. Emma has it made.......she just doesn't seem to get it quite yet.

She has been with me now for a year and eight months.

Annie got it right away Ah, this is mine, all mine!

Tonight for the FIRST time, she allowed me to go outside, pick her up and bring her into the house. She must know I am talking about her.
