The presence of my parents' dog, Maggie, who I've been dogsitting for several days, has turned this place into a zoo. It's not her fault; actually, if I'm being honest, she's better behaved than either of my two brats. And she's very sweet. But the three of them apparently finally feel fulfilled as dogs and have formed themselves a solid little pack.
Which is great except it means they all want to be in the same place at all times, and that place must always be wherever I am. So I have three dogs tracking me all over the house. I go to the bathroom, three dogs follow. I go into my office to type, three dogs line up off to the side and stare at me. I flop on the couch to watch TV, three dogs commence Very Loud Play Time. (The three-way humpfests are National Geographic-esque.) So I'm feeling a little stalked right now. It's almost like they're waiting for me to turn my back and then they're all going to try to hump me.
Speaking of, it's appalling how mount-happy little Maggie is. Good grief, that girl needs a playmate at home. She's my parents' only dog and whenever she's around Sunny and Digger, she knows it's limited canine company time so she kinda goes nuts and tries to get in as much of that wacky dog behavior as she can.
Last night she finally wore Sunny out, who then decided to lay down for a nap and let Maggie have her way. Rupert and I watched with shock and awe as Maggie treated Sunny like a roofied-out sorority girl. She sat on Sunny's head at one point and Sunny didn't even grunt in protest. Maggie's lucky she's not a pit bull; she'd be dead now.

My husband and I live in a house with five dogs. What you're describing is just an average day in our lives.
I would not trade a minute of the jockeying for position, snuggling, jostling, humping, kvetching, quibbling, and licking for anything.

Sunny looks awful deranged in that last picture. Are you sure she's not a pit bull? :P

Please consider this a formal request: I don't care how long it takes, but I must see a Sunny pic with the caption, "All UR base R belong 2 us." I'm patient, I will wait as long as necessary until you find just the right moment and get just the right shot. I don't know what it will look like. When the time comes, you will know. Thank you.

Maybe Deb Frisch died and is possessing all three dogs at once.
Nah...

"then they're all going to try to hump me."
"mount-happy"
"sat on Sunny's head"
so... you secretly want all those ads to stay, huh?
at the least, if we're gonna go with the risque ads, how 'bout a little less mounting and a little more sorority girl roofie-ing?

Hot dog-on-dog action!
Seriously, Rachel, you're endlessly fascinating. Why wouldn't they follow you around?

There's a 'Hillary in 2008?' ad next to the humping dogs photo. Since I'm a lady "cough, cough", there will be no snide remarks.
