All mine have come to me as adults, so they each have their own 'baggage'. It amazes me ... they are all continually changing... like Sapphire just started to really play with me (she's been here going on 4-5 years!). That's a big thing... there have been smaller things along the way. Tink was a horrible biter... now I can put my fingers and hand in her mouth during play or to have a look at her mouth and she totally allows it with no problems.     
 I think they go through stages, and I think it can take them a while to really trust people, and they will test you along the way. They'll also learn new things, some good and some not so good, lol... never static... at least not here.        |
