Compassion vs. Craziness

Over at Bee Haven Acres they've adopted a 15 year old dog, asking are they crazy? I don't think so but then I'm the one who brought home a 25 year old mare (Aunt B), a 22 year old blind mare (Nikena) a number of crippled birds, plucked bare chickens and then there is Danny the beagle who came from the pound. Danny, I was told, was 4 years old, I have always thought him older, so now he is at least 10. And then there is Eliza, we adopted her a year ago as a nine year old, maybe. She has a lot more energy then Danny. So I don't think anyone who adopts an older dog or cat, crippled duck or blind horse is crazy, just compassionate. And if we are crazy, so what? it's for a good cause.
