So here I am with my 10 pets. Yup, I have 8 cats and 2 dogs. Nuts. But normal in the PT world! :rolleyes:
So I get involved with feral cat rescue and I have 3 foster kittens. (If you missed that, see here:

OK. Things are a bit crazy, but that's alright. I can't trap the adults in the cat colony until at least Friday, as the rescue has no vet slots available. So I figure I will get a handle on things.
Then this evening, the caretaker of the colony lets me know there is ONE MORE kitten, I didn't get them all. DUH, she DID say FOUR. Ireminder to self: re-read post 1 in the above thread.) Will trap that on Tuesday.
Later this evening, my neighbor, Justin, inluvwith animals, sees a craigslist posting of 2 bichons being PTS. So I contact bichon rescue, the one where I adopted Sugar. Which I then signed on as a volunteer and foster for future. And after a flurry of emails back and forth, I hear: there are 2 bichons being PTS, and can I go get them and "foster them until further notice." Uh, yeah, sure, OK.
What, am I NUTS? Stay tuned, this pet family is growing by leaps and bounds this week! At this rate, buy the end of the week I could have my 10, plus 4 foster kittens and 2 foster dogs. 16 pets in the house! Oops! Good thing Dad has already gone to bed! :D
I NEVER did this kind of stuff before I joined PT!
