[QUOTE="donna723, post: 679363, member: 1883"] LMack, I don't know what I would do without my little guys! Every year my son and I drive to my daughter's house for four or five days at Christmas. We leave out really early so the dogs go to the puppy sitter the day before we go. And that dog-less evening before we leave is just creepy weird! I keep feeling like I should be refilling the water bowl or taking somebody outside, and it's waaaay too quiet without them! The trip gives me a little break from them but I miss them terribly! I have very labor intensive dogs. They don't all get along so playing "musical crates" is my only altetnative. We're on a schedule and they take turns being out of the crates two hours at a time. Any longer than that and they're napping anyway. No fence so they all have to be taken out on leashes several times a day. Trace and my mixed breed, Freebie, get along fine so they get out together. I first got Katy when she was two and Ragan was four and for about six months they tolerated each other. But then the fight was on and I've had to keep them separated ever since. Ragan is a total brat and Katy has no use for other dogs at all. It's extremely difficult to bring two adult females together and have them get along. So all day long I'm tending to dogs. I retired five years ago and my youngest "child" is now 35. So there's a lot of things I could be doing or should be doing, but honestly without those dogs I would probably never get out of the recliner! They keep me busy and entertained. [/QUOTE]
