But we can't keep them all. You did the kind and right thing for them, even though it's really hard. That's why I hate people who dump animals so much -- it just burdens others with their selfish stupidity.
I'm finally coming out of the funk. I really couldn't keep her, not only the room, but the littlest one still has a slight URI and I can't expose her to anything...if I found her when the others were a little older, maybe. I hope she gets a really good home. 
that's the best you can do.
we had 7 at one point, and are now down to 5 with a regular feral stray at the office (who has been spayed and her three kittens also spayend/neutered and adopted).
Just last Monday I had to have the *sweetest*, neatest stray near our home put to sleep, and I'm still sick over it. He (Cory) was wonderful, and friendly. But an unneutered stray male; he was FIV+ and had had a trachea infection for months and months -- I couldn't expose him to my cats, couldn't let him loose, and didn't have the resources (time, money, location) to care for him. I hate myself for it because I loved him (I'd been feeding him for 6 months, but only a few weeks ago did he let me get close to him; he'd had a rattling wheeze/cough with intermittent gagging since January).
So. I understand. It's so damn hard, being responsible and compassionate. It can be heartbreaking.
But at least he hd a better life than he could have...my little Katie still coughs and sneezes that URI is persistent, so I couldn't expose her to anyone new.
Oh how beautiful! Surely someone will want to give her a loving home! 
A light green and very big...and like I said, very sweet...hoping it turns out well for her.
I'm sure this one will find a good home, but I hate what she's going through until that forever home comes around.
The owners probably didn't microchip him, but you never know...hope it turns out well for him.
They hustled him into the backroom pretty quickly - I guess they like to make the separation quick and easy for all concerned. I asked them to contact me when he is rehomed. I understand small dogs are pretty easy to do, and he is a good pup. I teared up a little as I pulled out of the parking lot, and then lost it when I got home and my dog greeted me at the door. She moped around all afternoon, too, and she didn't even like the little bugger that much, as he was constantly all up in her lady bits. 
I was thinking about applying for an opening there, but I don't think I'm tough enough for that. 
Thanks for the reply.
Cleo's been bugging me about getting a kitty for her for a while now.
