Threes not a Crowd

Because of my so-so delinquent writing this title is almost a year old.

   Our newest pack member "Tootsie" has been with us over twelve months now. The six weeks of puppy training we started her on are all but a memory now. For us, and apparently for Tootsie too. She insists on being the centre of attention. All toys, bones, treats and in general anything a dog would like, by default, belongs to Tootsie. Ownership also extends to Luna and Molly. Should one or the other of them appear to be having too much fun or attention it is Tootsie's solemn duty to intervene and ensure she is not left out.

   Unlike all the other dogs we have had, Tootsie does not seem to require seventeen or more hours of sleep. Luna and Molly religiously follow this long established sleep pattern while Tootsie roams around and tries to get anyones attention. When trying to attract human attention a cute little bark or growl are the preferred method. With Luna or Molly attention is gained by hair pulling or biting, this seems to result in the desired reaction.
    Now that we are three, "walking", has become a bit more of a challenge. No dog seems to want to go in the same direction at the same time. Result, braided leashes. To top it off Molly appears to have taken a dislike to everyone but immediate family.

Rare moment where all three are asleep at the same time.
