@ Pam.
I have 4 dogs (3 elder and one YA)(2 of the elders are parents to the YA, and the other is the very old stray), I had 2 elder sims who died after I posted this thread, I have my first immortal, her teen daughter, and an elder friend.
I'll be moving in the future husband soon (both his parents have turned into vampires, gotta save him!), and I really want a mate for the YA dog so I can continue their bloodline. I also need space for a nooboo of course
. Both for the dogs and the sims.
By my calculations, I won't have space for ALL of that if the elder dogs don't start dying...
