Jan I know how that feels. Only Dad went out and bought the fish and they reproduced and reproduced ... etc etc... several times. I had to find homes for these things! And he went and bought birds too!!!!!!!!!! I SAID ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! He just took it upon himself to think I was gonna take care of whatever he wanted to have!!!!! I am sorry but I got his house and my house to take care of and a dog he gave to me ( which I do not mind dogs I love my Heidi Sue) But for him to think he could just get whatever he wanted and I would care for them no way!! Your doing what you want to do and thats ok. Too bad they wont allow it at the nursing home for her. I just hate seeing people have to take on more then what they can handle .
