Yes, maybe I should just start sending her articles about animal collectors and stuff. I've never tried that tactic before. She's been calling me for years about her "animals issues" and I have always offered my advice. I don't know how many times I told her to clean the cat boxes.
Animal control finally did come and take all 20 animals away

Now, she's starting fresh. She has 2 cats (and was looking to adopt 2 more!!) and a 6 week old pitbull puppy and is looking to get another dog. Her new husband is the one who wanted the puppy, and he is much younger than her, so I'm not sure if he would take to listening to me. He'd probably go and tell my friend and then she would just get mad and never speak to me again. Oh well...I guess I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
The thing is...she can barely provide for herself and her kid...let alone the animals...I just don't understand why she insists on getting more...especially after having so many taken away in the past.
You're right....I should just continue to give her my advice and maybe sooner or later it will sink in. *sigh*
