I see I'll have to talk to your stepdaughter. That's how I ended up with the three. My ten-year-old lured pregnant Mama home with her.
You are lucky....I had 14 strays..part of them wild in one summer, two where pregnant. I had all of them spayed/neutered...some stayed..some left but at least they are not procreating.
I use to work with an animal rescue and I don't know if people where dropping them off on purpose or if I had a welcome sign for cats I could not see.
Now only have 1 or 2 a year.
Seems that way >people dump them where they think someone will care for them< I moved here a year ago, i took in and found homes for 12 dogs. I kept one, who is half mine and half my dads and he literally sleeps at both places. He's too skiddish to even attempt to put a collar on, although hes playing more now and doesnt run from everyone. I had a friend come and basically drop a Boston in my lap then another one "showed up" a day later. Even thought i know where he was from, no one ever called or anything. Both boys have health issues. The one went to live in Maryland while my hubby works there. When he comes home, the pup will stay with my inlaws. Hes got demodex mange so badly but he is getting so much better. The other one has a horrible slip disk in his back and i have reason to believe he was used as a bait dog at some point. He took up instant residence here so he stays. I was just asked to help organize and promote a Pit Bull rescue, which is a super wonderful idea, just having a hard time in this area finding people who don't think this breed should just all be killed off. Proves to be challanging to say the least, but we're moving forward. Thats one reason i havent been around on this board much. I had surgery at the end of August that I'm still healing from. My girlie Boston got gravely ill 2 weeks ago and required emergancy surgery, the baby bunnies and mama have yet to go to their new home where the daddy is. The kids are in school and i joined the PTA as well as the headstart parent board. Right now, i'm just tired, the birds are missing my daily sit downs with them and i'm missing them too. I was out for a while today with them and they are sulking and snubbing me. Tomorrow i go out to bribe their effections back with goodies!! LOL money can't buy love, but with chickens, treats sure can!
