When I was a kid we always had cats, and dogs, and horses....you get the idea. My dad was a big animal lover. When we first moved to TN from FL he brought my horse in to the utility room one winter because he was afraid it was cold.
What a great heart he had. A horse is kind of big, but we do bring dogs and cats in so why not - if you have a spot.
In my mind’s eye, I just pictured our utility room with a horse standing in the middle of it, right alongside the generator and lawnmower, and had to stifle a giggle. ;-)
