More: These girls fill my heart. We rescued Caffrey at a little more than 6 weeks old and she instantly became my shadow. Many years later we brought Emma home at 7 weeks old and Caffrey took care of her, taught her beautifully, and when we lost Caffrey to sudden illness almost 4 years later, Emma stayed next to me and slowly stepped into her new role right beside me. She’s full of expression and love and wisdom, just as Caffrey raised her to be.
