I feel for you sloveladypowell. You are between a rock and a hard place. It's just that the members on this sight have strong beliefs and will probably never change. Everyone has a right to their own opinion and I believe that since everyone lives in a different place and has a different situation, everyone is at least partly right! If it was me in your situation though, I would probably do what you are doing, except I would bring them indoors at night. GREAT PERSEVERANCE!
