Dearest Cindy,
I have found your story to be very facinating, and exciting! I wish you the
best on being able to adopt little Daisy more than anything. It sounds to me
that this particular little dog is going to be very important in your life.
You have made a connection without a doubt! I don't think you will be sorry. I
hope all of these new additions work out for you. Please keep us all updated
as the saga continues. My fingers are crossed, and you all are in my prayers.
Good luck!!!!
