    2 dogs, how do people manage?

    Little Charlie has settled down and I have a chance to come on here, I don't know how people with more than 2 dogs manage, I am exhausted chasing after Charlie (pup) and still looking after Ben. I'm beginning to think I am making too much work for myself and need to chill out more :) .
    Charlie is now on a lead when in the garden, he's not walking on it, more jumping around on the other end :mrgreen: as he seems to delight in jumping on all the plants, and digging (maybe thats a retriever thing).
    My poor garden has taken a beating in only a week:roll:
    Still he is great, knows sit, settle down and even responds to Charlie here, when he feels like it :mrgreen: He is food orientated so that will help, still hates the crate but has taken to sleeping half on and half off the base of the fireplace, it's quite funny when he falls asleep and then falls off.

    Hi DK, I have just taken some photo's of Charlie today, before he ate the only nice Hosta plant I had left!!
    He is coming on a treat, follows Ben around, which is handy when we are trying to teach him recall!!
    He is rather greedy, we have had to move the cat's dinner and Ben's out of his way :roll:

    He is looking really well, bless his little heart, he looks so cute sprawled out on the hearth.

    If you think 2 dogs are hard work just imagine what its like here :shock: . Just kidding, I don't think 12 dogs are much more work than 2 or 3, apart from the grooming and pickingup side of things.

    Lovely photos :grin:

    Aww he's gorgeous. Yes Pam I find it quite exhausting having two as well...they both have different things to watch out for foibles etc.

    Well i'm not sure about 12!!!!! ;-) ;-) but i can say that five aren't really much more hard work than when i had just two. it's just holding all those leads out on walks that i find the hardest. so we tend to find off lead walks and drive there rather then walk even if just down the road. and remembering to take a whole roll of pooh bags not just a handful :) because i always need one more then i have :roll:

    Charlie is just beautiful. more piccy's please!!!!!

    The last time I had two dogs was back in 1996! Never had less than 3 since! I have to say I don't find it a chore at all. I love it!
