I worried about bonding with Jack even after we got him. Some kind of "new parent" fear or something. I was convinced that he would love my husband more and not want anything to do with me, but now I'm the one Jack comes to when he wants to snuggle, he's more cooperative with me a lot of the time. They know they're loved, and they respond to it. It's amazing! She will love you as much as you'll love her!
