(12,957 posts)Can I use that foster failure in when explaining bob or Sam the goat or herb the rescue pig. And the four indoor cats that three of them showed up over the years. The Maine coon as well is in love with my wife he is 14 as he still sleeps on her pillow. I picked him up as anniversary gift for my wife when he was a kitten. The dogs were not rescues although the golden retriever is also in a serious relationship with my wife last 9 years.

(2,284 posts)Years ago my sister and her family also obtained a donkey in a trade. Jacob loved my sister more than any of the family members. Each morning when he saw her through the kitchen window he would bray until she came out and paid attention to him.

God bless you and your wife for your caring and kindness, there are too few people like you in this world.
