She is the cutest little thing ever! I love her sweet little face. I would have brought that baby home too. I'm glad she had a great checkup at the vet (minus the fleas) and is settling into her home nicely. I think the fact that you HAVE to go to work, will help her to get over her seperation anxiety.
BTW, you are a wonderful person for adopting this little one. You may have very well saved her life by rushing to get that karo syrup for her first thing when you got her. If her gums were white, then she wasn't doing very well. Good for you
