Unfortunately, BOO, we are down to one dog and one cat. All our animals over the years have been rescued, several of them with really bad histories and awful problems. My Meggie dog is now getting quite old and isn't a lover of other dogs, so it wouldn't be fair on her to bring in another one - also we are both retired now and have to tighten our belts.
If I could I would rescue all the ill treated, abandoned, ugly and ill dogs, cats (and others) I came across.
