AKA Sucker.
I currently am the proud mama of 3 horses, 3 dogs, 2 turtles, and 4 cats. Yep. Four. How did that happen? I had 2 last week. The answer is simple. I'm a sucker. Deep down in my heart I cannot resist feeding sad animals. Hence, there is graffiti on water hydrants everywhere. For a good meal, call Devra. One mile down and on the right.
Months ago I scared a little black cat hiding in the storage barn. It climbed the wall trying to escape. I saw it once more. Until last week. Now I see her morning and evening. The OTHER new cat is very friendly. He immediately sat in my lap and purred sweetly. His name is Blue. He's Siamese. Very cool cat. Convinced the black cat to be semi-friendly.
Now, I have two cats on the porch and two cats at the horse barn. The two crews tolerate each other. My dilemma? I cannot, CANNOT, afford two more cats. Boys are cheaper than girls and tend to be more affectionate. Do I keep the gorgeous, boy Siamese or the tender, shy, plain, black female? Blue would be much easier to place at the shelter. But, for the same reasons, I like him ALOT more.
I'd keep them both but I have just mortgaged myself to the hilt for the rest of my life. I need fence. I need curtains. I need food! (And, I secretly want to adopt a poor, old, nag of a horse to live out its days in my superhuge new pasture. Later. Much later.)
What to do? What to do? My life is blessed. Too blessed!!!!

No more horses. Not one more D. What happens if this old nag needs something done to him/her to continue with good quality of life. They are never free and frankly you have too many goobers right now. NO MORE!
Horsie "fix" solved. Hailey found a horse to exercise. Her brother is sending a 16.2 hand, blue roan QH that is ranch broke down here for her. New project.
And besides, I am at least 10 years from the rescue point. You are so right. Very expensive. I still will do it later :) After the land and barn is paid for and the cross-fences are complete.
