Being the dog lover I am, I can imagine having this many dogs, naming them all and loving them all. Realistically though, I know that I would never be able to care for all of them the way they would need. The way in which you describe your aunt, she sounds like a sweet older lady that truly cares for her animals, but it also sounds like she has a problem. Puppy mill? Probably not. Hoarder? Most likely. It seems that most animal hoarders are older people that are alone, the situation gets out of control and they don't know where to turn for help. It's sad that the county had to deal with the situation the way they did. They should have come in and helped her down size...then kept an eye on her in the future to make sure it didn't happen again. I'm sure her heart is broken.
