Oh yes, I forgot the biggest downfall is letting them go after you get attatched. You have to have a big strong heart for this. I know they are going to good homes and most go to neighbors, friends & family or friends of friends eetc.. so I can visit & check up on them but it is still hard. I have cried and/or gotten teary-eyed at I think everyone I have ever had. It is ussually a combination of happy & sad tears.
