Cassandra, Whew! That is a dilemma! But, as you already stated, that if you do take Mom kits, they definitely will have a much better chance at life - having a home, being loved.. They definitely won't have any of that at farm. (UGH!! FARMS the mentality of some .. Living in

I would also add that if, God forbid, something bad does happen, at least they would go to the Bridge knowing they were loved and not as the result of a dog attack, which counts for something. Although I could totally understand if you weren't emotionally up for that yet. On 6/26/07, Sheryl
