Dog visitors

It's not often that we have other dogs come stay at our place. There's a good reason for this, Lola is not the most gracious hostess. She's great with other dogs on neutral ground, but gets very protective of her home and her people. So when M's mom and her two Chinese Cresteds came to visit, we tried to do everything right. I took Lola and Franklin for a walk when the arrived, and we met them down the block. Everything seemed fine. We walked back to the house together, walked inside slowly, stayed on leash, and then Lola lunged.

No one was hurt. But we kept the dogs separated for the weekend when in the house. We did get to go on a few adventures together, and all the dogs got along well when not in the house. Saturday went to the lake, and Lola and Hildy went to the New Leash on Life alumni family reunion. Here's some pics from Saturday. Come back tomorrow for Sunday's adventures.

it's really hard to get 4 dogs to pose!


my new favorite picture

3 adults, 4 dogs one car = me and Lola smooshed in the backseat with babyseats (MIL does a lot of grandchild transport when she's not on vacation at our place)

and Franklin relegated to little-dog-land (AKA the way back)

  1. I'm a little behind, but LOVE these pics. In the backseat photo, you can see Lola thinking, "Mom. Seriously. When are they leaving?" and Franklin thinking, "Hey, WTF am I doing way back here??"
