Without thinking, I would lay my life on the line for these stupid animals. Is that crazy? They'd do it for me.
Left field, or what?

Actually no, that's not out of left field at all. We are the same way here. I have several cats that I bought from the same lady for the same reason. The first two we bought, they turned out to have been mistreated so bad that the male had a broken back and tail where he'd been raised in a cat carrier..... so when she put more up for sale, I went and bought those too.... and right after, I turned her ass in. She had a registered cattery and all of the animals that came out of there were so abused... and I knew I couldn't buy them all, so I turned her ass in.
This lady here, she means well I think and she has a big heart, but she has bitten off WAY more than she can chew on this and SHE is rescuing them to save them.... so it's kind of one of those things where they need some help... so, while most wouldn't have bought them and gone thru it, simply because they aren't in picture perfect health, I couldn't walk away from them because of that. She loves them and they love her, but she can't rescue them all..... she needs help..... and so do they. They just need a hug... and we have a lot of those around here.
THAT is why I end up with so damn many animals... because I just can't walk away from them. lol
