At least Lucy is fairly small. We're going to have over 100 lbs of dog in a few months.

Wah!

Ya, 2 cats, 2 fish, and Lucy. One of the cats is fat, so we probably have close to 45 pounds of pets.

Except hamsters. That one depends on what you "enjoy."

Lucy is very social and loves to play with any dog that will chase her around. I know she'd be happier with an accomplice.

What do you all do with your dogs during the day when nobody's home? Just leave them free? We keep Lucy in a little pen with her bed and food and she seems to like it just fine. This keeps her out of the cat box and from terrorizing the cats.

She does a pretty good job of exercising herself every night by running all over the house with a toy in her mouth. She'll do laps for several minutes and then rest. I just feel bad that the majority of her life is stuck in that pen since she sleeps there too.

Yeah, we do essentially the same thing during the day, except no food (but we do leave water). I also come home every lunch (or almost every lunch) to let her out. Its one of the benefits of living close to work.

Amanda used to drive home for lunch but the extra 30 miles a day of driving was too much. Lucy has yet to have one accident yet though and doesn't even seem like she has to go most days when we get home.

We always have food available to her because she doesn't eat very much, regardless what food we give her. She's a little thin, but healthy. She's almost 13 pounds.

We can make the pen bigger (it'll take up the whole kitchen though) and put two beds in it if we get another pooch I guess.

Our Doxies stay in a kennel when we're not home. The big guys stay outside if it's dry and above 50 degrees or so. Otherwise they stay inside and they mostly behave, now that they're old enough to be over their separation anxiety they occupy each other enough.

When I was dogsitting Molly(parent's weinerdog) I had her stay in the laundry room all day 9+ hours and she was fine with it. She never had any accidents. Shit all she does is sleep and relax all day, I think we could all deal with that.

We need updated photos.

Sorry to hear about you and Nikki

Cats are good too (if you aren't allergic) but way different than dogs.

Facebook for that. I'm much too lazy to do more than download pics from the camera and upload them to the internet once.
