I didn't Dotsie, I retired remember(oh sure.) But they needed homes and the shelter was crowded so I took them in. They have volunteers that call around to people who have come in looking for a pet at one time. Then they send someone unannounced to view the home/family and if they are approved the pet is theirs. They were shown photos and picked one of the two left. Four have already gone back to the shelter for their shots, etc. I will keep these two until the familys are ready for them. We won't allow a new baby pet into any home (with kids) until after the hulabaloo of the holidays, its too stressful for them....I will miss them all as they were such clowns. I have all these containers of calendars in my dining room and they were all over them, inside and out, up and down all the boxes. They had a ball and kept me laughing.
