I have 2 , 4 month old brother and sister pups, and their mom, so I guess I am a 3 dog house:) Its a challenge having two puppies, I am a stay at home mother of 4 and I have all day to devote to my lil guys and my kids help out quite a bit, they keep me busy from morning till night but I think it is sooo worth it:>
The rewards and the smiles having two far outweigh( in my opinion) the challenge.. it IS expensive! quality dog food isn't cheap and puppies eat a LOT, vet bills, heart worm meds, spay/ neuter costs, toy bills( gotta keep them lil boogies well stocked with chew toys or they will find their own chew toys.. usually your best pair of shoes
My favorite part is watching them learn.. it is such a competition! one can not stand to watch their brother or sister get praise and not them .. for instance, I work an hour a day with them each separately. I will teach each one a different trick/ command.. and they teach each other ..I taught Ozzy to give high five and Sheridan to roll over.. through out the day I will ask each puppy to recall what they learn when they are together, Sher saw her brother do a high five and get a treat and petted and told how smart he was 2 times before she figured it out*L* I say
" High five" and they both raise a paw at the same time. *L* and vice versa Ozzy will stop drop and roll.. It cracks me up and it cuts my training time in half! *L* Good luck with your two.If they aren't fixed yet I would make that my number one priority:D
