Yeah my husband always complains he lives in a zoo, but he's ever so indulgent. I let him goto hockey games and other various sporting events and he keeps mostly quiet about my animals. Let's see as far as rescues go.... Bandit my older dog we adopted from the local humane society, and Puck our black cat also came from the same shelter. Now, my husband brought home our other dog Auggie. She got separated from her stray mother as a puppy and was found in the landfill at my husband's work. He brought her home since she was bleeding at the hip and was so small. We were definitely NOT going to keep her since I had just had my son. 5 years later she is still with us. Our tailless gray tabby adopted us, and I just couldn't help myself from feeding him (so of course he never left). I also adopted a bp from a local family who was neglecting her. She was in terrible shape. She had retained shed encircling her neck and half her body. She was thin and the worst part was her water was pink! It was so nasty!! I think I got all of my critters, that were adopted/rescued anyway. Can you tell I'm a sucker for a cute animal!
