As an animal control officer I had a very sad day when I went to a farm house that had 150 dogs in her barn and 340 cats living in her house.. I saw things I'll never forget . We helped her but it was hard for everyone involved . Lots of tears. Si I feel you

Karter really grew closer to her Uncle Lester during her brief stay, and it is sweet to have a child love us so very much. I agree with you about the rescues, and it is always best to keep in mind that it is sometimes so very easy to form a strong bond with those animals even though this wouldn't be giving them the best opportunity to live out their truly best lives.

My mother was wonderful, my father abandoned us. So, my mother’s dad, my Grandpa, her youngest brother my Uncle Harry, and my Great Aunt Vernie’s husband, Uncle Bill, were the “Dads” in my life. I loved them dearly for being that to me. I asked my Grandpa to my high school’s “Daddy-Daughter Dinner Dance” and he accepted. It meant a lot to me & him.

I always wonder at the popularity of Flea Markets for a couple of reasons. Firstly how do you see the fleas, are they particularly large? How do you avoid stepping on them? How do you explain the attacks on fleas evictions and forced homelessness from their mobile four legged homes?? Do they speak English, when did you learn to speak flea.. just some Aussie humour guys, we call them Farmers Market over here.

Be available since this is her first baby, she may need help.

This right. There are plenty of people and organizations that intend to good but don't have the resources. I think it is best to be sure you have those before taking on that much responsibility. Think of it like you are adopting a child. They need health care, affection, possible needed training. A lot of these animals come with issues due to their neglected or abused past. And it takes patience and time to help them recover. The three mini dronks are very different than others that had more hands on care. They may attack the other animals, continue to hurt each other or even those people caring for them. But also they also need more care than they had been getting. I don't think they need to remain together. So that will be 3 new homes.
