"She had 6 cats, most peed on the carpet in the living area, 4 dogs-2 bit me and her several times, and 2 big messy/loud birds."
I know you probably don't think it is funny, but you just described a perfect scene for a National Lampoon movie. I can just see OG played by Chevy Chase standing there with an exasperated look on his face in a house full of peeing cats, biting dogs, and parrots that say "I'm never going back to work."
