The reason why now is that i am working away from home, and our eldest kids have left home, so my Wife is alone most of the time. As she is disabled, it is difficult for her to manage the cat and dogs if something like this happens.

Splodge has always brought stuff back, but there has usually been somebody to sort it out. Also, our new house is out in the country, so there are more things for Splodge to kill!

Personally, I want to keep her, but as I'm not there in the week it's very awkward - basically it's either Splodge or my wife!!!
