Looking after 2 more dogs

(Date Added: 26/08/2011)

Dogs Name: Poppy, Pickles, Pippin, Marble Breed: TTs, Havanese & Maltese Location: Witchford

It has been an interesting 2 weeks, the brother in law and his family have gone away for a whole month and we are looking after their 2 Dogs, so for 4 weeks we have Marble a 4 year old Havanese, Pippin a 15 year old Maltese and of course my 2 Tibetan terriers Poppy 18 months and Pickles 7.5 months.

As Pippin is old and does not walk much as well has having epilepsy we have moved into the brother in laws house, instead of taking the dogs to our house, it took a few days for the dogs to settle in to the new surroundings, even though they know the house, different sleeping arrangements, walk times etc. After a few days the dogs all settled in and they all get on lovely most of the time, Pippin occasionally tells the others to leave her alone with a growl and quick snap but never makes contact, this is mainly when my dogs tease her and ask her to play, being old and not being able to run around she is a bit grumpy, understandably really!

Anyway sometimes they all sit together on the window ledge and love each other, see pictures from left to right Pippin asleep, Pickles looking out if the window, Poppy watching me and Marble looking out the window.

It’s been hard work over the 2 weeks and have 2 weeks left but it has also been great fun.
