Default Tomorrow I meet the Poms

These are the 2 poms that Animal Connections (where I got Max and
Rosalie) has available:

http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=10381056
http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/dis...petid=10381218

The first one almost matches the color scheme but the 2nd one looks like
a mini-Lassie with a blue eye (and I don't know what's up with that).

I'm meeting them because I'm volunteering at an adoption event tomorrow.
I'll be pushing these little guys pretty hard because otherwise who knows
what might happen? I CANNOT HAVE ANOTHER DOG. For one thing, Zoe WOULD
NOT UNDERSTAND.

Uh-huh.

I am always happy to answer questions about what it's like
to live with a lot of dogs.

Ceb said in part...
I cannot have another dog.
____________________________
Ceb,
I hope you find great homes for Smokey and Besley tomorrow. Good
luck. You may have jinxed yourself with that..."I cannot have another
dog". I can't tell you how many times I have said that just prior to
getting "another dog".


Be Free.....Judy

I hope not! I don't know why these guys haven't been adopted yet, they've
been torturing me on the website for WEEKS. If I can't talk someone into
adopting them at a foo-foo wine and chocolate tasting event, then I am
not a salesperson!

So I'm
interested in how you've handled adding to the pack when it was still
kinda small.


The pack stuff is actually easier with a lot of dogs. I'm
not sure why - maybe because they make more of an effort?
Dunno. I've found that they're really easy to live with as
long as everybody gets enough exercise and if you're pretty
rigorous about structure (everybody has their own place to
eat and can't go visiting until the other dogs are finished,
etc.). For the exercise thing, I've found it's really
helpful to hook them to a large object and have them all
pull it.

The dogs have their preferences (Jack loooooves Slick,
Emmett looooooves Saber, etc.) but nobody really hates each
other. Cinder doesn't like the way Eclipse plays (ROUGH)
and so doesn't go outside when Eclipse is there. Nobody
likes Saber at all at first, but once they figure out that
he doesn't mean anything when he bumps into them and that
play bowing isn't going to get them anywhere, they're fine.

Or am I projecting?


Maybe. Maybe not. I kind of feel that way about Emmett.

Please also feel free to answer any questions I have not asked.


Sure - travel and emergencies are a HUGE pain in the butt.

Oh, and you need to figure out how to dispose of a mountain
of poop.

None of the dogs is allowed to act turf-y. That's another
thing - with a bunch of dogs you tend to nip things in the
bud a lot more quickly.
