    Default First real taste of owning 2 dogs...

    I'm watching my Aunt's 5-6 month old Chocolate Lab puppy for the weekend. My puppy fever is full blown right now, but I'm pretty sure I'll be CURED by the end of the weekend. LOL

    I just saw him tonight and he is HUGE! He looks like he is close to Harleigh in height... and she isn't exactly small Anyways, I'm getting him tomorrow and will have him until Sunday afternoon probably. I'm sure Harleigh will be less than thrilled to have to "share" everyone... she's a bit on the spoiled side

    For those who forgot... this is what he looked like at Thanksgiving! He has grown SO much since then... there shall be pictures to come this weekend as well. Of course!






    Harleigh -- My <3

    Mine is a full blown addiction. Hasn't stopped in over 20 years and we currently have 7 dogs. 2 six month olds and a 1 year old. Can't get enough.

    I've had the taste of owning two dogs since my brother moved in with us, and I must say I LOVE it. I can't imagine I will ever not own two dogs now. The thing is, I know it's been easy because Ozzy (my brothers border collie x staffy) is about 9 years old, so he is pretty lazy and chilled out. He plays with Duke, but otherwise he's happy just to lay about in the room we're in, occasionally running over for a quick pat. Duke is a SUPER jealous dog, and he's lucky Ozzy is so laid back, or they would probably fight a lot. For example, if I call Ozzy or if Ozzy comes to me or Steven for a pat, Duke will rush over and pretty much barge his way through, so that you can't reach Ozzy anymore. We're trying to teach him that this is not ok, and that he wont get attention when he does it, but he still does it all the time. He will also climb over (read: step on) Ozzy to get to us, if Ozzy is laying in front of the couch in front of us... silly jealous only child

    THAT must be what mine is! Now if I admit that does that mean I can live with it and be happy with my addiction or does that mean that it is the first step on the road to recovery?!?!?! LOL

    I don't believe there is recovery once you have entered multiple dog ownership. Sadly it seems to be a downhill slide we started with just two now 7 plus! Also, just for variety we petsit that way we can play with pugs, BC, pits, Great Danes, St.Bernards, and chi's. Sadly the children have contracted this same addiction - I wonder if it is genetic?

    I clearly have "dog" fever but not puppy fever. I want every old dog I see. And they can be just as exhausting in their own way as puppies. I'm cwazy.....
