Three?

People keep asking me what it is like to have three big dogs.  I have to admit it's work, but really, all three of them are going out of their way to make this easy for me.  Willa is a character, full of the ol' Nick as my mother used to say.  It helps that Sage is a very mature dog, she is, in a sense, able to take care of herself.  She loves attention, her belly rubs are vital, but she walks without a leash almost every where, and is patient when it comes to food, chews....plus, she lets Willa and Annie for that matter, know who is top dog.  It's Sage!

Annie is having a puppyhood.  She really didn't get a lot of time with playing with other dogs when she was a pup.  So every day the house withstands chases, catch-me-if-you-cans between both dogs.  They wrestle, play, and nip with amazing energy.

And Willa?  Well, she is a fast learner.  She is finding her place in the hierarchy.  It's great.  I love watching her figure it out.  She has the "scratching her head" look perfected.

Three?

It's not easy, but it's absolutely worth it!
