I totally loved this! It brought back fond memories of what began as a 5 dog pack, assembled 1 by 1 from homeless street/beach dogs within 4 months time. I used to run 3 miles every morning & after a walk to attend to elimination needs, I would tie their leashes around my waist & we would run together on the dirt roads in the rural countryside. I was always amazed & grateful that they all got along, they would eat all at the same time in their designated bowl-spots on the kitchen floor, they received their food by the order of their seniority of incorporation/adoption into the pack. I didn't have any prior knowledge or experience about what to do or not to do & didn't have time to cater to any diva-type behavior, they must have known that they would be looked after & I never laid down any verbal or subliminal warnings to them about dangerous behavior. Eventually the pack grew to 7 dogs, every week they would take turns in rotation to go to town to "help" me with the shopping, I feel like they understood that their turn would come & that what made it work is that I
truly didn't have a "favorite".
