LOL - as to the dogs, I had 6, but neighbors down the street asked if my jack russell could come live at their ranch -- he is always getting out (bolting), the neighbors hate his barking and call me all the time, he has just been a lot of trouble. So I said yes.
But they feel in love with him and want to keep him at their house in town, which is semi-okay with me, but he keeps coming back to my house during the day and they take him to their house at night. This has only been going on for 3 days, but that is why he is part-mine and part-theirs.
And now the kitten.
