RZ - Thanks!! We are hoping to be!
Donna - Wow! I can't believe you walked all 5 dogs at the same time!! Yikes!! We took our 3 last night and traded off a couple of times. One took one and the other took two. Tera is the slower walker, she likes to stop and look around. The boys (Koda and Rocky) want to RUN!! Kind of funny in a way.
maggiesmom - That is terrible with the obedience training problem. I don't like the jerking and yelling approach. Tera went when she was 6 months and did well. I am not sure the trainer was that good as she admitted that she'd never taught a class before. Oh well...I learned a lot!
It's also funny that you mentioned doggy stroller. I got one (before I got the other two dogs) because Tera tends to dilly dally a lot when she walks. I did take her...and Tera and Koda together, and they seemed to enjoy it. I haven't had it out with Rocky as I am really not sure how good that will be. I've thought about putting Tera in the stroller after one round, then pushing her for a second. The boys are still raring to go, but she poops out a bit. We may have to try that at some point.
My lil friend - good advice...and I've thought about insurance, but I don't think my vet takes it. I really trust him and not sure I'd want to take my pets to anyone else.
Yes, they are all very close in age, so hoping they will be great friends to each other. They love tearing around the place playing. It is so funny watching them that if we are watching TV we have to pause it just to watch them, and then laugh. They are so entertaining!
