Well, I'm not going to lie and say that it is always peachy keen, we do have fights, but then if you have kids they fight too. All we ever have to do is yell at them to knock it off and they stop. They are a lot of work and our house is trashed, but we are working on it making it more doggie friendly. We pulled up the carpet, which was totally destroyed, and we are painting the subfloor until we can afford to put down hardwood floor. I wouldn't trade them for anything, even when they make me mad, but I would rather have 15 dogs than 1 kid, so I figure I'm doing alright. I have kids all day long at school, I sure don't want to have to come home to them too!!! lol It's really amusing to watch them play outside...they are my entertainment some nights...they are a lot more fun to watch than TV.
