I figure that my sink issue became hoarding when I had more sinks than places to potentially connect them to plumbing.

The volume of stuff that we have collected over the decades is the issue. Until recently, everything that I collected would 'one day' have a place to belong. This was true for a long time. Now, the collection has exceeded its potential usefulness, and it's become a problem to be dealt with. <brConnie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489596100395140547.post-89827901588384672482017-03-20T07:07:30.678-04:002017-03-20T07:07:30.678-04:00Fourteen is a fine old age for a dog, but it's...Fourteen is a fine old age for a dog, but it's never enough time for us humans who love them.

He was a 14 year old Shih Tzu that we rescued from the pound. There was a little inner voice that told me he was the dog for me all those years ago and I loved him with all my heart. I know you understand how I feel.
