Sounds easy to say, but do try not to let it stress you too much. You have to focus pretty much all your energy on the baby right now but the time will come when she has her naps and you will then have time to spend with your dogs. Don't try to be supermum to everyone - you will wear yourself out
Well I have been trying to do it all and tend to them all. I hate to say this but the pups are just going to have to learn that they will get their attention right now when I can give it to them.....which they get tons in the evening. I just want to be able to still be there for them too, they after all were my first babies....but right now my daughter does take up most of my time, which is no big deal to me she is my daughter and I can't think of anyone else I'd rather spend my time with....but what the pups don't know is how tired Mommy really is. Baby is colicky and I get very little rest as does she. My husband is a real trouper though rain, snow, or shine he is out there getting them walked (well okay maybe not rain, they hate the rain as much as we do...but snow or shine) and played with and everything. And then at night he takes over with the baby and I play with them. I'm probably doubly tired though because instead of resting when he gets home, I then go and play with the dogs and work on training.

Hopefully over the course of the next few weeks we can get into a more productive routine for all of us.

In the meantime, maybe I hate to say it, let my daughter have an afternoon with my mother so I can rest and maybe give the dogs a little TLC....because I'm sure they feel left out. (I just don't like the idea of being away from my daughter, when she was a week old I ended up in the emergency room very ill, and had to stay overnight at the hospital....bad kidney infection. And that was really hard having to be away from her so soon.)


Anyways thank you all for your imput and advice, I will take it all into consideration and find what works for us
