I know how it is with kids and dogs but it's also that way with other pets, we have 12 pets total we had 13 till yesterday one of our dogs passed away at 5 months old. Then we are taking care of four puppies for someone else. My Kids don't understand that u have to make a dog listen to u they think there suppose to do what the dog wants when they want.
Wow... I don't know how you do it with that many- I have 3 & at most times, it's two too many! I liked them much more when I worked all day & didn't have a baby. Now I'm a SAHM & they drive me nutty! :) All of the power to you!
