Default I'm insane, but loving it

In addition to my normal zoo of 2 greyhounds and a pug, I'm dogsitting for 2 pugs and a greyhound through new year's day. I've been watching those shows on TLC about families with 12 kids and now I understand why - I was preparing myself. I find myself counting all the dogs to make sure that they are all inside and accounted for, and not getting into trouble! It's taking me about 3 tries to call any of them by the right name (now I understand what my mom went through!) Today is only day 1. I'm not sure how I'm going to fall asleep with a bedfull of snoring puggies and a greyhound to boot!

We went walking earlier and I swear, neighbors were stopping their cars and getting out to laugh at me. I'm walking them in groups of three but even that's a funny sight. It sounded like I was walking a bunch of snorting pigs. I can actually hear them snoring in the other room right now! I'll have to take a pic of this group, but I'll need DH to help. He won't be home until tomorrow morning, so I'm on my own for now. Wish me luck!

Help me to understand Greta...You have 6 dogs under your roof right now? I like dogs, but you have 6 freak'n dogs running and playing in your house? You must be St. Greta.

Nappy, how do you care for doggies?

Don't let the little brats tire you out Gret!

Hi Greta! You are amazing! I can't imagine taking care of six dogs at once. Wow!

Hi Greta,

OK! I know what's on your mind right now, "WHAT THE HECK WAS I THINKING!"

You have got to keep us informed daily on your experiences with this herd of "domesticated?" animals.

This could be the bright spot in my upcoming days.

Well, fortunately, they're animals and can live outdoors.

You ARE crazy Gretata~~~ Pugs make so much noise when they sleep.. they are grunters. *making note of who to call when I go on vacation*

I even have a doggie stroller. It's so cool; it came from a company called Kittywalk and it's made for poochies. It resembles a baby stroller, but zips shut so they can't escape. Mine holds both my doxies. You'd have to push 3 of them Gret!!! ha

Now, that would make a good pic.

I am soooo jealous! I would love having 6 dogs running around - so much fun! The only thing that would worry me - dog fights. We had 3 dogs at one time and arguments happened but usually resolved without anyone getting hurt.

Have fun, Greta and enjoy!
