Do you let her sleep with you though? I love cuddling at night with them. Who knows, maybe Lily won't get into that? I'm such a whimp when I must be strong. Hope could just look at me and know - what she wants is going to happen in about 15-20 seconds... I just think once I hear her whine, whimper and bark - she's going to end up in bed at nights with me...
But, during the days, and for the very reasons you listed - it would be nice to know she's in it, but not crying the whole time she's alone. That kills me to think about.
