I agree with all of you, if I had these guys I would make sure they peacefully lived out their days with me in respect and gratitude for all that had done for me and just because I would love them. I do think there are folks, though, that would feel these are still usefull animals that could be enjoyed by another family. I wish I had the room for them. -- Laree in NC Doppa & Mura Simon, Sadie and Sam (the "S" gang) "Yet when all the books have been read and reread, it boils down to the horse, his human companion, and what goes on between them." - William Farley
