   Yep ... we adopted a stray.

   No, she never cries. She really seems to like it.

   Luckily this has not happened.

   I don't think you paint an accurate picture. The dog really does not   
   seem anxious or afraid. We are very gentle, do not scold or punish her   
   (other than confining her to the kitchen which she may think is   
   punishment, I guess).   
      
   I work from home so I can be with her a lot. I do not bring her to my   
   office because I assumed that it was important to teach puppies limits   
   of where they are allowed to go. But I guess it is a better idea to   
   let her come down here so she can be with me. The only problem is, I   
   will not have time to correct all her bad behavior because I really do   
   need to focus on my work.   
      
   I've read the manual and must say it is intriguing.
