They say they love animals, but its very obvious they only really love and tolerate their own pets. I see it at the dog parks every day. You've figured out how to blend the dogs and cats into a happy, functional pack/family. Most people, including myself can't or won't do that. You decision about Dale's future seems right on to me.KT and Eastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05456498552956580863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-19407462550339370002014-02-20T14:44:01.784-05:002014-02-20T14:44:01.784-05:00I'm a dog person.

My mom is an animal lover she loves them all. She has rescued all types of critters. She even rescued a skunk once, his mom had been killed on the road. He lived with my peeps before I came along and probably a good think because he still had his stinker. He lived in our house and mom would take showers with him. Not once did he ever spray. Mom let him come and go in and out of the house. One day he found a girlfriend and packed his stinky little bags and left home to make babies. <br /><br />Aroo to you,<br />SullySullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01742702155002446330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003916153932012549.post-90466307336281814142014-02-16T20:50:24.283-05:002014-02-16T20:50:24.283-05:00I love both cats and dogs, but we have three cats....I love both cats and dogs, but we have three cats.
