I also call the day I brought Chloe home the day I lost my mind!

......I am going back to German Shepherds......

I have 6 dogs now and it is pretty chaotic. Thank heavens 4 are GSDs and they reign in some order!

Your boa's setup sounds great! I love the condos!

Yep.
I reckon that's what I ought to have put on my tombstone or written over the door to my future psych ward 'quiet room'.....LOL

I feel your pain.



They're sneaky, too.

My first one, Minny, was the sweetest, most mellow dog ever.
Never needed to put a leash on her unless it was in public and the law required it.
She was an absolute angel.
I also got her dad and aunt the next year.
Wild deer would've been more calm in the living room.

Then I found Minny's sister and she'd had a litter so I had to get her nephew Jack.
[aka Jack The Ripper]

Wow.
What a shock he was.
[Picture Tigger on crack]

Then I put my head up to the gun again and got his sister from the next year's litter, my sweet Isobel.
Izzy was a Minny clone.
Nice, wonderful dog.

Then came Phoebe and her sister Pookie.
[aka Heckyl and Jeckyl]

Not having learned any lessons [I'm kinda dumb that way] I got Izzy's sister's daughter, Djinni.

Wild as a coyote, giddy as a schoolgirl, flighty as a deer but lord, I do love her so.



Odin, the Dobe, fancies her as alternately, his "girlfriend" and/or lunch.



Later, I went completely mad and got a Portuguese Podengo Medio



[did you know that Velociraptors aren't really extinct? they just migrated to Portugal and grew fur]

I'm right there with ya on the "reining in" part.

Odin thinks he's the jack-booted house cop.

All I have to do is say "Bubby, go make 'fill in the blank' behave and he hops off the sofa and shoulders his way in and makes them go get up on their sofa and knock off whatever they were doing.

[I love working dogs]....

You can observe all my demon-spawn kids from a safe, sane distance here:

Thanks about the condos.
They're so heavy though, that wherever they are now is probably right where they'll be 10 years from now.....LOL
