-The problem with living in a zoo - and I don’t really think it is a problem per se - is that the dogs are always underfoot! I do the dog pound shuffle a lot! Just so little paws dancing around me don’t get stepped on Somedays no matter what I do yelps accompany me wherever I go! You would think they would learn?
   Reuben has turned into an incredible suck since his neuter. He is sitting behind my chair wailing away because Squire and Sweetpea
Squire on a warmer day - aren’t the colours vibrant!

are with me in the x-pen around the desk. Squire growls at him when he tries to come in. The two have decided that for today or right now they are special  - they earned the right to be next to me. Except for Katie on my feet under the desk - I am surrounded by the non-adoptables or my dogs. Once the non-adoptables have been here for 5 years - then they are mine and will live their lives with. Of course they need one on one time so they are the ones that get to follow me into the desk area, or into the bathroom - there might be a trap door that I can escape from in there! And they have first dibs in the bedroom. Sweetpea is little Miss Queenbee (my grand-daughter calls her House Hippo!) - so she sleeps under the covers next to me.  
The other guys all clamor for my attention throughout the day. I often find myself stopping, stooping to pet or touch some little body asking for special time.  It is instictive - most of the time I have no idea my hand is stroking a silky head or ear as I walk.  I feel like Pied Piper with the mass of bodies following my every move. Do I mind? Not a bit!
