Today I have been to a water garden and bin learning how to be a bird watcher from the hide.nit sure it hid me much but it was good fun and made a break from puppy sitting the newbie.who frankly is exhausting.

I never wanted a large group of dogs. Over the years, as our dog pack number grew I always said that 6, then 7, and then 8 dogs was too much. I still tell myself that we need to have less dogs bc it takes so much time and energy to give each dog what they need. I'm getting older, we can only take so many dogs into a hotel or a school, and people think we are crazy.

All that said, today, I finally came to the realization that the reason I have 7 dogs is that I want 7 dogs. When I had 8 dogs I said it was too much. We got Georgie as our number 8 and initially I was against it. But- he is the most awesome little guy. I can't imagine not wanting him.

When I see my dogs getting older, one of the things I thought I would welcome, despite the devastation of losing them, is having less dogs. But the reality is that each dog brings so much into the family and into my own life that from this point on I'm going to be really honest with myself and anyone who questions or makes some kind of comment about how crazy it is to have so many dogs.

I love having a group of dogs. I would keep this group forever if I could but the reality is that they are getting old and we are going to face some big losses in the next couple of years.

I'm not saying that I'm looking to replace my current dogs. But I need to stop putting pressure on myself to feel like I have to fit into someone else's definition of what the right number of dogs is. Some people have lots of shoes, cars, skis, houses, and go on lots of vacations. I don't make judgements about others doing things I wouldn't want to do.

I don't want to go to the movies or go out to eat. I am here most of the time for the dogs to walk them and give them my time, love, and energy. Going to the beach with a car full of dogs like I did today was refreshing and just what I needed. (Finally the beaches here are open to dogs.)

Would it be nice to go out here and there without having to worry about leaving them? Yes. And that's why we have good reliable pet sitters for when we're out for a long time and we can't take our dogs with us.

So- there. Now I've said it. Having lots of dogs is awesome.🩷
