I think that is great! As long as you have everybody spayed and neutered you can keep them all even if you live in an apt. I used to have this neighbor lady who had five lovely big cats in her one bedroom apt. She doted on them and everyone was healthy and yes-the place was fresh and clean as a whistle. You’d never guess she had even one cat until they came out to meet you.

My fantasy is like yours. A place to have a pet palace and lots of money to maintain it all. At the risk of sounding like Micheal Jackson, besides cats and dogs and little critters like guinea pigs, etc., I’ve always wanted a camel. I just think they are cool.

I can relate. I think I would probably end up with a goat or two as well. I'm a sucker for animals & if I had the space I'd bring every one home I found that didn't have a home. All of my pets (12 cats & 3 dogs) are spayed & neutered & have their shots, most of them have pretty long lifespans, so they must be do OK.

If I did win the Powerball, I always thought I'd like to start a Trust that would pay for spaying & neutering cats & dogs. I can't stand it when people let them run & get inpregnated and then decide they don't want to take care of all those animals & dump them somewhere by the side of the road. I do think there's a special place in hell for people that abuse animals.

We just had a wonderful thing happen. A dog that just appeared in our yard one day, we decided to keep him, got him neutered, a bright red collar and a tag with his name and phone number. We had him about 3 months & one day he just disappeared. We put ads in the paper & called the animal shelters for weeks, but to no avail. That was in March of this year, 4 months ago.

I kept looking at the lost & found ads in the paper everyday & I never really in my heart gave up looking for him. A couple of weeks ago, I saw an ad that sounded a lot like him - I called the lady & we went to look and it was our dog! He didn't have his collar on anymore. It was like a miracle - he came home with us & my other two dogs licked him real good when they saw him & he settled back in like he had never been gone!

I praise God for that lady that found a dog running loose on the street & cared enough to rescue him & put an ad in the paper. She was an angel in my book.
