126. One of my husband's friends calls me the Sarah McLachlan
Wed Jun 10, 2015, 04:44 PM
Jun 2015

of Facebook because I share the photos of all the dogs and cats on deathrow at ACC.

I would take Tiger in a minute but we have 4 cats at the moment all of whom are getting up there in age. I just can't fathom how anyone can dump their cat because they got a new couch. People suck.
