Earning My Money!

Zeke arrived a day and a half early so his visit coincided with Remi's rather than following it. Not a good situation! Three dogs creates a situation that is a bit like having three kids all of whom think they are the boss of everyone. They form alliances or have alliances established that make for tricky situations.



Kenya was bitchy as hell when she saw Zeke, and would (of course) not share sticks or food ... after all she never shares those things. Zeke's reaction is to stand up to her. So ... two assertive dogs and one galumphing puppy who just wants to play.

I am dealing with the situation by using a combination of being with them indoors, spending a good bit of time with them outdoors, keeping one inside while the others play outdoors, and generally just waiting for tomorrow morning when I can begin dealing with only Kenya and Zeke, without Remi bouncing around innocuously adding to the chaos.

Later I played with them outside and realized that they likely had to sort this out themselves ... and they have ... I think.
