We are all rested up from our busy weekend. The girls were raring to go this morning so after breakfast we loaded up the poohaul and went to the park. We are still adjusting to life without Poppy (and Francis for that matter) takes awhile, after having 10 dogs for years seven it’s a big adjustment, seems like I’m always missing somebody (and I am). It’s hard not to be sad even though giving her to Pat was what she really needed and wanted. Pack behavior is much different than having just two dogs. Everything you do, they see as a message about their place in the pack. If I want harmony there are strict rules to follow to avoid confusion that leads to fights (I know I lived it and it’s horrible). Pat will spoil her rotton (continue the spoiling I should say) her daughter Pebbles/Rosie and the two boys will be her loyal subjects and she’ll be a happy California girl!!
