A House full of dog: Babysitting the nards......with pics
« on: February 17, 2006, 07:30:30 pm »
Yep as of now we have two nards, a newf and an aussie in our house.....and it is insanity.  Katie and Tyler are here for a week.  Katie is 120 lb, Tyler or the Tot is 140 and still growing.  Did I mention that Tot is Kali's boyfriend and they wrestle constantly.  so yeah that's 240 lbs of dog rolling on the kitchen floor while we're making supper.  Katie is much more subdued and just lays across the hallway.  Lacey is overwhelmed by them all but still wants to play.  Kali gets jealous if Lacey plays with Tot.  So right now we're doing seperate corners with Lacey and the rest so she's in with me while the giants are in the kitchen.  I'll update with pictures when we get them.  I'll put some from last time we had them a year ago too.

I just got mauled this morning when I went downstairs to say good morning to the wrecking crew.  Tyler was the main instigator and I had three large dogs trying to hug me and get in my lap when I sat on the couch.  That was fun.  Kali and Tyler are still wrestling on the floor no settling in sight.  Though they do take breaks for food, water, naps, and to be taken out.  Tyler definitely thinks he's a lapdog and to think he was the runt and they almost lost him as a puppy......he fit in your hand when my aunt the vet first got him.  And now he's 140lbs of unruly, spoiled and unmannered nardness.  Katie is a little homesick but she's happy when she goes out to see Gabby, her horse......tho ugh Tyler is afraid of her, Katie has no fear and ran into her stall the other day giving us a heart attack. Luckily Gabby likes her and didn't do anything though she has attacked dogs in the past and she was full of it yesterday.  I'll update more later.

They went home yesterday and Kali's depressed that her buddies have left.  We think she may have bruised her kidnies from the rough housing though cause she's drinking like crazy.  But she's been moping around the house since they left and we all miss them too.  And Aunt Jo told us she's leaving them to us in her will if anything happens to her and her husband, because we're the only ones they're happy staying with.  They had a great time though as did Kali and Lacey.
