To those with more than one dog

I guess now that we're back to only Two ... ... it won't be so hard to
keep track of 'em ...

Miss ya, Bowz!!

Phred *tears* .....

Pam, I take my two together. Of course Captain is a social butterfly, and Ruby will go wherever he goes ....
They are pretty good together - of course if I get another one, I might have to ask Phred about the 3 way tie thingy!

I have only one dog but I've wondered about taking Keegan and a cat - but I just don't think I could. Keegan is too big. Kloe gets carsick and Kylie just doesn't like being in the car. The other thing is I think I would pass out when it came time to pay!

I only have one carrier for the cats so they are separate too.
I guess I look @ it as "alone time" with each one. With the exception of Keegan - its the only time I get to be with each cat alone.
Its the only time that Kloe sits still and tolerates being on my lap. Kylie on the other hand is a social butterfly. Go figure!

That is part of my problem with Bella. She feels the need to sniff everyone hello. I am forever telling her to come back and sit. Ripley pretty much lays on my lap but will stand up in my lap if a dog comes in who is a barker. I think the problem for me would be getting them inside with no tangled leashes and also keeping the leashes untangled as I write the check at the end while they both scope out the newcomers.

Congratulations to you who take two and more! WOW! I am impressed.

My dogs all go to the vet at different times of the year, so they usually go separately. Sometimes if they need to go in for another reason (like when they had kennel cough), we'll take two at a time without a problem.

We normally take all three dogs at a time. Molly and Astra are so attached that if we leave one, the other will cry until they see each other again. So they go together no matter what. Prince goes with us as well, seeing as he is small. He simply sits in my lap and occasionally barks at a new dog that comes in.

Astra is fairly easy to control, however she howls, or woos rather, at any new dog she sees. Molly listens and calmly lays down on the floor until our turn. Of course, her tail is moving at 100mph this entire time, but she listens, nonetheless!
