I'm afraid that neither of you are looking at this the
way I do.  Where would those #5s be if you hadn't
taken them in? Have you made plans for their futures?
What will happen to them if (god forbid) something
unexpected should happen to you?  When you can no
longer provide for them, that's when you have too
many. Sincerely;   Honest Gary May, railsplitter and
friend of the people.
