If you have multiple dogs, who gets you?

I would have to check with A on the validity of all this... But...

TQ is my girl. I got her when I was 19, and it has been just us since then. She has happily welcomed in every dog to our house, and is the boss of them all. However, she is also my green eyed monster because she gets incredibly jealous if I show affection to Tate (the big boys, she could care less about for jealousy purposes, they are wrapped around her paw).

Tate is mine. He likes A and will gladly take love and attention, but when it comes down to it, he wants me. And A can attest that every morning, when the house is waking up and I am still asleep, Tate SCREAMS whenever I even roll over. He is obsessed with me. But thankfully, the separation anxiety is getting better and he doesn't scream when I leave anymore.

Problem Child was gotten to be A's puppy (before we ever thought of the grey or of Tate), however, I was the divine ruler. He was my Panda Bear and would roll all over me and want to cuddle with me. I left for a week long trip, and in that time he bonded with A, and was upset with me for a few days. He is A's baby, I think he loves to be loved by her, but respects me more, as he listens much better to me.

The Grey is our shared dog. He loves us both equally, and is equally as happy to see either of us. He is often more quiet than the others, so sometimes gets looked over, but he doesn't care. He is happy to just lay in the floor with chaos around him. Our home is also much better than the one he was previously in, seeing as when we got him he was skin and bones.

Our house is divided, but everyone is happy and healthy (well, minus that PC is a little crazy)...

Both dogs are "mine", but Cricket is completely and utterly all about me. Clover is happy to hang out with everyone, but Cricket has some anxiety issues and really prefers and feels most comfortable with me. She does not have that much interest in my husband--only when he has a snack! LOL! She dotes on me and the kids mostly. Clover loves anyone that will give her attention, but she looks to me for guidance and assurance. Both dogs follow me throughout the house. Cricket will follow my little one (almost 2) as well. It's like she knows he needs extra looking after. My husband and I joke that she thinks he is her child, and that she would try to nurse him if she could! LOL! Clover also has attached herself to my little one. When he cries, she just howls and howls! It's really funny!

Both dogs are mine but Harley definitely defers to Bailey. Bailey is older, was here first and just has a more bossy personality w/ other dogs. Harley learned from day one that Bailey wasn't to be "messed" with. Bailey is almost always in my lap if Harley is around, but I do make time just for Harley. Mostly he is content to lay on my feet. Harley is only allowed on the furniture when invited (which isn't very often since he loves to roll in dirt and grass), while Bailey is usually on the furniture.

When dog #3 gets here it will be interesting to see what happens. I know Bailey will not be thrilled w/ the added competition (neither will Booger the cat, lol) but I think Harley will view him/her as a new playmate.

LMAO about the bathroom comment. I have two large doggie houseguests right now who won't even let me blowdry my hair w/o supervising. It's a very tiny bathroom and having the company of a Spoo and a Pitbull (w/ his dreaded whip like tail) is an experience. Booger can turn the doorknob so there is no keeping him out either.
