Making friends?

This is a rare sight around here.  All of our dogs aren't exactly friends. I've made a big effort to get them to form a pack after realizing that it was probably my own fault that they didn't get along. We had three yorkies, and I liked small, non-shedding dogs.  We'd had big, goldens before, but they were outside, farm dogs.  When we got Honey, I resented her hairiness and her destructive puppy qualities.

I think that Twinkle took my lead and resented her too.

These guys aren't exactly perfect themselves.  They might not shed, but Twinks can sure scrape the paint off of a door if she sees a rain cloud and is outside wanting in.  They all can pee on the floor at random times too, sometimes right next to the doggie door that they could walk through to do it outside instead.

So, it wasn't really fair of me to resent Honey, she wasn't any worse than the rest of the dogs. Her shedding certainly wasn't her fault.

And she has outgrown doing things like eating the siding off the house and emptying all of my flower pots to wear on her head as she runs around the yard spilling dirt and plants.

She is past her puppy stage, and is smart as can be, always listens.   

So, we are working on it.  I'm doing everything I can to make them into a pack before the pups are born.

 If they are coming, they are due May 7th.  She had a false pregnancy last time she went into heat, without being near a male, and this time we bred her to a poodle to create Golden Doodles.  I don't know if this is another false pregnancy, I'm ready to be there as her midwife if it isn't.  

I'll let you know if there are babies! Keep your fingers crossed.
