My sister-in-law picked up a hound mix from the dumpsters yesterday. My dad was really mad because we already have 17 dogs and he thought that that was very inconsiderate of her to pick up another one (which I agree). He will probably be staying with us for the rest of his life. Mom fell in love with him so we couldn't take him back. My sister-in-law is calling him Spok but me and my mom don't like that so we call him Novie. My sister-in-law thinks he is her dog but she doesn't really take care of animals that well so I'm figuring he'll probably be mine. She has him out in the pen and I had to remind her to give him water this morning. :mad: Anyway Novie is now part of the pack. I love the little guy but I don't know what we're going to do about taking care of him because he's gonna be big. Stephanie (my sister-in-law) said she would help with the expenses. I just hope she actually goes through with that.

I get asked that all the time. lol. Mom likes to pick up strays. But my dad told her not to do that anymore. We had to tell Stephanie that too after she brought Novie home.

Yes we have. But thankfully we have gotten them all fixed now. Most of the dogs are related somehow. Lets see...
Tiny is Luckys grandpa (Luckys mother died earlier this year) and Uno and Jaws dad. Uno and Jaws are Sprinkles sons and Sugars and Luckys Uncles. Sprinkles is also the mother of Heavon and Sky and grandmother of Sugars. Sky and Daphney are the parents of Sugars. Daphney is the mother of Nitis. Whino is the brother of Daphney, Uncle of Sugars and Nitis. Triskit is Scouts sister. It's all kind of confusing. But thankfully there will be no more puppies added to this world through us.

Yikes - 17 dogs... you must have your hands full!

Just curious again (sorry!! lol) - isn't there a law about owning a certain amount of animals per species where you live?

They are a handfull. No there is no laws here. I live out in the middle of nowhere. I guess if I lived in a city there would be.
