family :) #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:

@barrie_tc
I have a few dog walk clients who stay, but most don't. Don't know
why. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@kimhalligan1
wow, I wonder how many Chihuahuas that would make :-) #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
I was telling hub that many folks have a couple of their own and a
foster....we're not abnormal... #barkoutloud |

kimhalligan1:

@Dawgblogger
a lot of chihuahuas. LOL #barkoutloud |
|
barrie_tc:
|
A2 then Fancy died so I got Tintin (18 mos malinois) for Brit (7 yo
JRT) because Jellybean was beating up on her #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
I think 2 is a great idea, so I opted for the second one. #barkoutloud |
|
nay731:
|
@DebsSweet
2 of mine are Chihuahuas and another a Chi mix. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:

I was only planning on keeping 1 of Sequels pups , but Stanley
looked at me with those eyes 1 day & said "Keep me" so I did. #barkoutloud |

Mod_Lorie:

Q3. How do your resident dog(s) react to a new dog entering your
household? #barkoutloud |
|
jawaj52:
|
@Mod_Mary
Just one, weighs about 55 lbs. #barkoutloud |
|
jaennutter:
|
@kimhalligan1
actually, we won't beat you. we're splitting up! #barkoutloud
two or three will go with me, two with my sister, three with brother |
|
Mod_Hilary:

@kimhalligan1
Ha! Those dog eyes are really manipulative! #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary

|
barrie_tc:
|
A3 mine have to put up with it constantly because I keep client dogs
so they are fairly cool about it #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@DawgBlogger
Really? #barkoutloud |
|
CeCeBrightly:
|
@DaisyWunderDog
thanks! She was begging for a yogurt melt at the time, hence the
adorably pathetic eyes #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:

@Mod_Lorie

|
jaennutter:
|
A3 EVERYBODY RUN TO THE DOOR AND SIT AND STARE INTENTLY. THEY HAVE
GOODIES! #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:
|
Q3: My dogs are used to visitors, so usually no big deal. Jasper
loves almost anyone who will play w/him. Daisy loves everyone. #barkoutloud |
|
DebsSweet:
|
I have three rescues out of 4 dogs - so it wasn't a decision as much
as something I HAD to do! SO glad I did. #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary
plus careful to make sure they'll get along #barkoutloud |
|
DaisyWunderDog:

Same here. RT @barrie_tc:
A3 mine have to put up with it constantly because I keep client dogs

Yep, know all about those big sad eyes :-) RT @Mod_Hilary:
@kimhalligan1
Ha! Those dog eyes are really manipulative! #barkoutloud |

But, mine KNOW when a dog I bring in the house is a dog I am keeping
vs. a client's dog lol #barkoutloud |

Mod_Hilary:
|
@LewisNBarkMT
Hey, welcome! How many dogs do you have and how did they react when
you brought a new one in? #barkoutloud |
|
K9Cuisine:
|
A3 It was pretty simple. Both dogs love other dogs. After a little
sniffing it was off the the zoomies #barkoutloud |
|
Mod_Mary:
|
@barrie_tc
You're good at it.... #barkoutloud |
|
DebsSweet:
|
I find that 4 isn't that much different than 1 when they are small
dogs - anyone agree? #barkoutloud |
|
DawgBlogger:
|
@Mod_Mary
yes, they all just seemed happy to be here #barkoutloud |
|
kimhalligan1:

I watch my dogs play. Like a dance. Back & forth. Break aways & then

Q8 firstly - having the right reason for doing that #barkoutloud |

A8: get McConnell or McMullen Multi-Dog household book first, read
it and THEN decide. #barkoutloud |

I feed dogs separately-separate rooms, so I would recommend that. #barkoutloud |

Q8 Stick to 4 dogs or less. 6 dogs is a lot of work. I dont work so
home 4 my 6 dogs. Lots of work, play, money. Dont plan vacation #barkoutloud |

I agree but for some dogs not possible- guarding food especially #barkoutloud |

it is, but harder in Daisy' situation of inhome petsitting-constant
