We are watching my cousins dogs while they are gone and its been quite the experience. We kept the dogs separated for several days to acclimate them and keep everyone safe. Our purebred greyhound, Kristen has a high prey drive so I've just assumed that we would never be able to do this, but yesterday I tested the water and everyone did great with lots of curiosity. It has been so much easier and more fun because we can all play together (with supervision of course). Josie is loving having little dogs that she can play fetch with and its just different snuggling with little dogs versus our big dogs. Buttercup is a Boston Terrier and does not stop playing until you do, she can go and go and go. Bella is Pug and something else (I forgot) and she likes to harass Buttercup so we've been easily entertained. We were eating dinner last night and there was a little dog party going on underneath the table, Josie found that highly amusing once we assured her that they were playing and not fighting.
We typically have balls laying around because our girls are not that into fetch, Samantha runs from what we toss and Kristen will sometimes play, but it typically just gets her so excited she starts running laps around the yard and everyone has to clear out! There is nothing like watching her run though, I love it. So anyways, yes we always have balls to play with, but these little dogs have destroyed about 10 balls in the past week and tomorrow I will be shopping for something new and less destructible.
I'm also excited at the thought of being able to watch each others dogs when we go on trips, we haven't been anywhere overnight since we adopted our dogs and that is going on a couple years now, "Oh dear!" The only downside would be if we all wanted to go somewhere together and then don't have dog sitters again, lol. Here are a couple videos of the fun we've been having this week. I miss you my sweet cousins! :)
