Do you play favorites?

[Kfamr]

I refuse to call it playing favorites because that is not how I see it. I am serving their needs.

Kiara gets more time than Simba & Nala, Nala gets more time than Simba.
Kiara needs more excersize/outlet for energy than Simba & Nala. Nala needs more than Simba.

Simba honestly couldn't care less but, I still bring him out by himself, play with him by himself, etc. Simba & I's daily routine is to go out in the front yard, leashed, want check his pee-mail. He is happy with just that.

Kiara's is playing frisbee in the front yard and swimming.

Nala's is playing off-leash before bed in the front yard, working on heal, sit, stay, come, etc.

Kiara's time is always longer than Simba & Nala's because it takes more for her to get worn out.

Then we always have our together time where we all go crazy inside, outside, etc playing together.

Considering I'm the only one who walks/trains the dogs... I can't play favourites. Where one goes, the other goes, even though Mickey really needs time on his own - I just can't fit it in, really!

I feel bad about it.

I don't think people should play favourites between dogs, each dog deserves alone time and training to meet it's needs.

Thats exactly how I see it.

Kaige gets more attention (training wise) & exercise than Raustyk & Nanook as he still has things to learn & he's the only one who needs AND can handle that much exercise. Then comes Raustyk, then Nanook.

Nanook gets the most one on one "quite" time as well as grooming & the like. He can not really run & play fetch anymore without possibly injuring himself & his coat requires more grooming than the other two, especially now that he is getting older & can not really much for himself. Kaige won't sit still for one on one "quiet" time yet anyways, he's always on the go.
Nanook also gets daily massages & the like to help his muscles & joints. Raustyk also gets daily massages but not as often nor as long as Nanook. Kaige gets one a day just because.

And they all seem very content with how I treat them. They are all very happy & seem to understand.

That sums it up perfectly.
I don't favor any of them more than the others. I love them all and care for all of them whole heartedly. However because their needs are different I spend more time with some than with others.
