Mugsy, you sound like me, I guess thats why my hubby keeps me in town ,now I was nuts when we lived on 5 acres,42 rabbits 4 dogs 3 cats, and a horse. When we moved to Montana I could only bring 2 rabbits 2 cats and 1 chinchilla (oops I had 5 of them too) it was had but found homes for everyone but 3 of the dogs. one had cancer and 2 had been abused and just couldn't be retrained except to trust me so I had to do the most hard thing I've ever done and have them all put down.
Ever one else sends me postcards at the holidays, helps a little that they are bringing joy to so many of my old friends.
