My wife was a collector before I moved her to Texas.
She had 4 indoor cats and feed every cat that lived in a 10 mile radius. I have no idea how many showed up at dinner time.
I let her bring 4 to Texas. It has taken 7 yrs, but we are now down to no cats and 2 small lap dogs (shitz shus).
Woo-Hoo!
We also have two dogs; had three but the oldest Black Lab had to be put down last fall. :( We still have a Black Lab and a Basset Hound. I also have 62 laying hens, but they live out in the coop and actually EARN their keep!
I, too, am looking forward to being "petless" in the future. My husband is the housepet lover, so I'm the one always putting HER foot down about him finding any more strays and the like and bringing them home.
Who does all the work for the pets? Me. Who do the pets do backflips over when he comes home at the end of the day? Yep. You guessed it, LOL!
