I would never criticize anyone for doing the work you all do. I was just making the comment that I would, if I could, take in those older ones that most people pass up.... I know they would cost more as they age and most would not want to take that kind of responsiability.... they want a pet that will be around forever. I would love to have a "retirement home" for the elder ones to live out their final days.

Beings that I am becoming more and more elder myself, I would be afraid to take on the younger ones..... The answer to that is to take in the seniors! I would leave the younger ones to YOU younger ones!
