Bev don't worry ... yes it's sad we had to give away 5 dogs and a cat and some gold fishes ... but around here there's horses calore, dogs are not that big, cats are everywhere, and of course sheep. So we got a ram "Rambo" an eve "candy" and a horse "Arnie", two Indian runner geese "Juan and Suri" and a rabbit, just "Mr. Rabbit"
We have around 7 cats running around on the farm all of them wild but they are warming up towards us, slowly very slowly, ... all in all we love it here.
