You know what its like to have more than one child in the house but having 5 is a real challenge some days. Shiloh wants to go in and out all day long. If you don't come when she wants in or out she scratches the door until you come. We taught her how to ring the bells when she was little and this is just the next step for her. Then we have Jacquelyn the Jack Russell. She barks to be let back in. If you don't come when she wants, she sits at the door and barks in short intervals until it gets on your nerves and let her in.
Mealtime is a hoot at our house. At 5:00 on the dot, Jacquelyn begins to worry you until I get up from my desk. I try to give them treats while I am finishing up work until they worry me and won't give up. As I descend from my home office with the dogs in tow, the 3 cats greet me at the bottom of the steps. They are meowing and talking while they walk around their bowls. We have a old table their bowls sit up on so the dogs won't eat their food. The girls stand at their bowls talking until I dish out their food. The boy on the other hand, like all boys bangs on his bowl to create as much noise as possible. While I am making heating up water for the dogs food, I swing by the cat bowls and deliver their food and then back into the kitchen to finish up the dog's food. It is like being a short order food at the local diner. Once everyone is feed, then it is on to letting the dogs out to roam around in the year until they are ready to come back in. During that time, I am making food for the human members of the family. I won't trade them for anything but some days Mom just needs a break.
