23 dogs. Wow. All indoors?

Speaking of neighbors' dogs. When we move to the farm I'll bet the neighbors dogs will be at our house constantly. Then it will be like we have six!
They all get turns indoors. I've had up to 16 of them inside at once. Usually, it's about 8 per night. The two I am dogsitting are inside all the time as that's what they are used to--they aren't used to being in a fenced pen. I have three huge pens on my property, total is close to two fenced acres. The dogs are divided up by who gets along best.

My two oldies, Preacher and Sleet go on tieouts during the day and then are inside whenever I am home.

I have four more who are on trolley style tie-outs. Kayleigh is dog aggressive and highly food protective. She can't handle having other dogs near her stuff, although she likes to play with some of them in neutral areas. Heyoka hates being fenced and will bust out of anything so he's on a trolley and loose when I'm around. Bandit doesn't speak dog very well so he gets beat up in the big pens. He prefers to be close to the house, but not inside. Goldie is on a trolley too as she is fussy about her friends.

This fall my husband's shop should be done. Kayleigh will move in there with an attached run and hopefully we'll get another pen up for Goldie. She has a couple boyfriends that she could live with happily.

The neighbor's dog is Daisy. She's a sweetie and doesn't cause any trouble so I don't complain about her. She's a little ignored at home and an only dog. She's highly social so she comes over here to get attention and play with other dogs.
