Why do I do this to myself?

So, I am a huge dog lover irl, so naturally in the sims I just need all of the dogs. So I had a nice family going, two parents and two kids and one dog. Perfectly reasonable. Then I see a cute stray, I adopt her. Then I'm like, "well she needs a friend, right?" so I let my boyfriend make me a dog in CAS to add to the family. THEN I let those two dogs have a puppy. So now I have to deal with an eight sim household, four of them being dogs. I'm a little overwhelmed and considering just playing a new save, which makes me sad because I really like this family. Has anyone else had this problem where they just can't resist all the cute? I've actually done the same thing to an older save that I no longer play. I have a problem. XD
