Great Post! WAY too many people give up their animals when they find out they're having a LO. I have 4 cats, an APBT/GSD mix, 5 aquariums and a hamster...not to mention the skunk I feed that lives in my yard and the 5-9 feral cats I feed..and the birds and squirrels. They were all my babies back when I thought I couldn't EVER have a 'non-furred' baby. There is NO WAY I could ever get rid of them!
Oh! And if you're concerned about cat/dog scratches go to
www.softpaws.com they're EXCELLENT! We used them on all our cats!
