Well, I must have a really messed up "pack" then. Nebo has been here since July. Reggie still hates him. It doesn't always work out that way.

I really don't see how my comment was this "personal attack" on Mugsy...but ok, if that's how you see it.

My dogs would not be happy with all those other dogs. Reggie doesn't like dogs. He hides just from Nebo, I can't imagine him with so many large dogs. Smokey is old and can't take much. Nebo likes dogs but gets overly excited and sometimes is a bit aggressive in his play. He doesn't know when to stop.

If Ash doesn't feel that Chewy would be happy with a bunch of other dogs, I don't see why we can't just listen to her...he's her dog, she knows him best.
