Mollys Story Part 11....One too many?

Hello Everyone!

Hope you had a great week! I am still trying to collect thoughts before writing the next blog. I have so much to say, but then I forget when I sit down! :)

I thought I would talk a little on having multiple dogs in a house. I always had three dogs, it was just my comfort number. It went so well for so long that I never put much thought in it. Before we got Golden retrievers  I had Rottweilers. They were so brave and bold, but yet great snuggle buddies at the same time. They were protective and showed us the most unconditional love. Once we decided to switch up on the breeds is when I realized that it was no longer the same dynamics as before.

Once we brought Molly into the pack, everything changed. Amber and Rufus were raised here since babies so they learned to rely on us and look up to use as leaders....Molly however, came here with no structure at all. She didnt look up to us at all....not at first but over the years I had said to myself that Three dogs is too many, and I still feel that we will never have more then Two. Its hard to walk them all at the same time. One of us always has 2 dogs and the other has 1. Giving all 3 attention is interesting too. We have 2 hands and 3 dog heads to pet. So, you gotta get creative and sometimes us a foot for the 3rd pooch! ;)

Molly was and still is a very demanding dog. She barks for attention and she pushes the other 2 out of the way if they are getting attention. We call her Molly gator because for years, she was always biting on Rufus and tearing up stuffed animals and snatching treats out of people hands. She can devour something within seconds so the name Molly Gator fits her perfectly.

So, to conclude this blog I just want to say that sometimes you have to learn from experience on what is right and wrong in life. I have learned a lot over the past 6 years and it will make me stronger in future decisions. There is a lot involved in having multiple dogs at once and its not always easy. These 3 keep me on my toes and definite give me a purpose in life!
