oye...i might have to move. i know that is crazy sounding but i couldn't live anywhere like that.
i think the licensing/permit thing is a great idea. heck, i would try it.
is it just your town or are the surrounding areas like that too??? i have rental property here in nashville if you need a place to move to...we don't have a limit on the #of dogs
good luck sweetie. let us know how things go. and try to enjoy your birthday!!!
