Everyday here is like taking your dog to the dog park and having him meet his buddies. Our dog park is our back yard, and our doodles and Panda all love each other. They play the same games and never get tired of it. Occasionally lying down in the pool, and always trying to steal the kongs and squeaky toys from one another. Lola just likes to run around the yard squeaking them to drive the others nuts. Mowgley is obsessing over Panda. She's not even in heat but that's the girl he likes the best! The oddball for sure.
This morning I took Java to the airport for her flight to Timmins. She didn't let out one peep when I had to put her in the crate and send her off with the airport staff. What a great puppy! We are now down to only 4 puppies here. 2 more leave on saturday morning.
Our bedroom is now the dog's room. It is funny how things change. When I met Jake, he was adamant about NO dogs in the bedroom. Maggie however, had been sleeping on my bed since she was just a few weeks old! She's going to be 7 this fall. I would not kick her out of the bedroom, so we compromised and I bought her a blue bed, which we call her throne. A few months after Jake and I got married, he thought that Mona would be so cute sleeping in the bedroom too, and she's small! So Mona joined us. She slept either at my head or on my feet. And about a month ago, Jake gave me the sad puppy dog look to bring his Missy into the bedroom too. Missy has not slept one minute on the floor and takes up a lot of the bed space and is usually cuddling with Jake (she is seriously attached at the hip to him). Now Mowgley is visiting and his guardian mom told me that he sleeps in the bedroom and she brought his blanket and pillow with him. Somehow we have made room for a 4th in there. The room is 10' x 10'. And we have a double bed, armoire, shelving unit, big dresser, nightstand, storage bench and a laundry hamper. The room is packed! Now put 2 people, 4 dogs, and all of the dog beds, pillows and toys in there (sometimes Mona squeaks the toys in the night). I can't tell you how many times I've woken up with a hard kong toy and a marrow bone underneath my pillow. Such a wonderful sleep! The dog's are so content though that when Jake gets up for work every night around 12:30-1:00am, they aren't getting up or moving for anything!
My goal is to have Panda in our room once we can fully trust her. She is still a puppy and always trys to chew our comforter or pillows! Mackenzie and Lola are quite content in their massive crate together though. We tried to leave them out of it and have them sleep in the living room, but they paced and paced and kept scratching to open their crate door. I woke up one night to whining, and there they were...sitting infront of their crate trying to get in it! Whatever floats your boat I guess! Wow this is a novel...I better get back to letting the dogs all out before bedtime.
