JackieMaya Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I was a little worried about adding a third dog to my family because Jackie and Maya have always been so tight. They're best friends. But they welcomed Pooh Bear with open arms from the minute they met him. There has never been any jealousy or growling or anything like that. The girls were SOOO happy when Pooh Bear came back home after spending the night at the vet. Jackie is very sensitive and has a very expressive face, and if she's worried or sad, you can see it in her face. She was confused when Maya first came home. But with Pooh Bear, there was none of that. I bet her jaw muscles hurt from smiling so much since Pooh Bear has been here! I thought it would be hard to be able to give affection equally to all the dogs. I don't know what I was worried about! They each are getting just as much mommy time as before, and so is Pooh Bear. I LOVE having 3 dogs, especially the ones I have! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzy Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Yeah, i've been there too... suddenly it's easy having 4 or 5 :-? :lol: I'm glad you enjoy that much your pups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Chaos Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I love having three. The only thing I dislike is I can't walk all three at once so I have to do shifts, unless I go to the close dog park. Other then that its fun. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackieMaya Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 I don't think walking the three dogs will be a problem, because as long as they have their Gentle Leaders on, I can walk Jackie and Maya in one hand, and Pooh Bear (in his harness) in the other.

nadooshkinz Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 3 dogs! I honestly can't imagine myself with any more than Clea, But maybe when she's older, I was thinking I'd get a small breed dog, probably a rescue, to even things out!

Horsefeathers! Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Looking around at the ten I have in the house... yeah, having three dogs would be REALLY easy. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendalyn Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm so glad it's working out for you guys! I've heard the hard jump is from 1 to 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leahluvsherpups Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I wasn't sure how I would spread the love either and not being a human mom how could I know. Anyway, I have four now and it is easy to spread the love. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollysmith Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I'm sorry to say that my two older girls have considered Qwill to be an interloper. but Mini has been spotted playing with him when she thinks nobodys watching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aroura Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I'm loving having 4 dogs, it is very easy, Diego and Merlin play all day, as do Montie and Cassie. Everyone gets along well and I never have any troubles with them - well unless you call frequent trips to the vets troubles! LOL, I panick at every tiny thing, I'm one of those mums who'll take them to the vet at any little snuffle and its costing me a fortune - but it is a small price to pay for peace of mind... Speaking of things that cost a fortune... I just ordered $200 worth of dog food - better not tell Josh :o :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Yeah, one was easy. Two was so easy. Three was a bit hard a first due to Zeke's somewhat intense, high-energy personality, but after a couple of months we couldn't imagine life without him. Now we're at 4 :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumpkin the musher Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 I'm still saying how easy it is to have 12...... :o :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daisysmom Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Welcome to the club!! I personally think three is difficult, especially when walking (can't do it) but I too agree that there is enough love to go around!! Best of luck to you!!
