Great pics! What a crew you have there and they all look so happy.
You have no idea how many times I hear..."how many dogs do you have" or "How do you live with all these dogs" or something along that line.
All I can say is I am not quite sure how to live WITHOUT "all these dogs!" They keep me busy, healthy, and provide tons of entertainment for me and my children.
If I thought for a second they would be happier in the home/situation they came from...I would return them. If I thought they would be happier in another home, I would re-home them.
My "true" friends are the ones who actually come to see the dogs...but they don't mind talking to us humans, too!
I think my crew are about the happiest bunch of dogs around...but that is probably because so many of them came from bad situations...
I like to think it is because they are well fed, exercised, get affection along with mental stimulation and MOST important of all...they are really and truly wanted just for being them, not for what they can produce or what they can win! I think their amount of happiness is directly related to the amount of love they receive and love comes in many different forms!
I think my favorite saying was to a friend of my mother-in-law who came over one day...he asked "how do you feed all these dogs?" He had been complaining about them following him around, and licking him while he did some electrical work...so this is what I told him.
"Well, they only eat a-holes, and only once a day...if one takes a bite out of you, let me know! I will know they are hungry!":bootyshake:
I have a sign that says..."This house belongs to the dogs, you are a guest, but they say who stays and goes!"
