Spent the last week house/pet sitting. The sisters, niece, and nephew took a road trip to some national parks in the Rockies. Four dogs from three households. And a cat the spent most of her time hiding.
I cannot get another pet. Grrl's jealousy and possessiveness is too strong. It wasn't an issue with Bear, the 120 lb. Golden Retriever. I wasn't an issue with Katy, the 5 pounder. But Juno, the 50 lb. dog, (don't know the breed), there we had an issue. Juno desperately wanted attention, and desperately wanted to be near me, and desperately wanted to play. And Grrl would have none of it. No blood was drawn, but as the week went on, I had to pull Grrl off of Juno more frequently. I had been looking forward to a week of 200 pounds of dog. It was not the fun I had hoped for.
It's like a young couple with a three-year-old, realizing they cannot have any more children because their child will likely smother the infant in the cradle with a pillow.
