I'm thankful I can do dogsport with Seppel and that Lilo likes to play with toys.<br /><br />I used to feel bad leaving one or two of them behind. I don't worry about it so much anymore and while they all need to go out and exercise, if I take one, I'm sure to exercise the other two when we get home.

It's cool that they both enjoy it in different ways. <br /><br />With my dogs, I sometimes dress them alike for fun but I am completely aware they are two different dogs. <br /><br />I think my thing has been excepting Zoe for who she is, not that she's going to be just like Phoenix and enjoy the same things, but for who she is and that she is probably not ever going to want to play any of my games no matter what I come up with. If it's not a bunny running in front of her she's probably not going to care. That's a hard pill to swallow. I've put a lot of effort and work into her and it just kind of sucks that all she wants to do is kill things. I'm better about it now then I was a few years ago but sometimes it still sucks. With that being said, sometimes she has to participate in the things we are doing, whether she likes it or not. Sometimes as a family we are playing in the river and she can sit on the beach and whine about it or she can come in the river and play too. It's her choice, but that's what we're doing. I could leave her at home but I don't always feel like doing that and she needs exercise, too. LOL <br /><br />I'm really glad that I do have Phoenix who is more than willing to play my games and is actually driven to do some work with me. I love both of my dogs very much but it's definitely different. <br /><br />zoepheedogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959397251791559890noreply@blogger.com
