Our son’s Labradoodle continues to christen our foyer, upon arrival. She’s fine, immediately thereafter… and luckily, the chosen floor is slate!! Thanks, Justin; I’ll be back for updates!!

Yea not every dog can handle parties. We have a 2 year old beagle mix who we just adopted last October. Friends of ours are having a birthday party and want people’s dogs to go — so we’re talking like 4+ dogs. We may/may not bring Rex along — partly because he likes to pee in other people’s houses still (still working on that) and it might be too many dogs in one place for him — too stimulating. We shall see!

Airedale Ike is 12 and obsessed with finding something furry (or not) to chase; unfortunately, he doesn’t travel and party with us, for this reason. However, Black Russian Terrier Mambo, 4, was bred to stick by his chimps. Skeptical at first because of his size, our relatives and friends end up begging us to bring him along, going so far as to offer pooch-sitting, if we need the service. He travels everywhere with us. We love our wolves equally. Great writing! More, please.

A good friend of mine who uses relationship based training recommended “If a Dog’s Prayers Were Answered Bones Would Rain from the Sky.” Sounds super new age-y but it actually provides awesome insights into how our dogs think and learn and FEEL. I really enjoyed it.

Our dogs come everywhere they possibly can with us (including sometimes to get-togethers at friends’ houses) but only when they are invited, and I’m certain they won’t be a nuisance. Everybody who knows us knows how well-behaved our dogs are, and if they invite them, I am grateful and a courteous guest. But I will not ask, “is it OK if we bring our three dogs with us to your home?” Sometimes you just have to leave them home, as you’ve said “to enjoy a Kong in their crate for a few hours.”
That said, our parents’ houses are a different story. They’re the grandkids, and are treated as such – they are welcome anytime. ;-P
