[nagdu] having many dogs

[Julie J.]

Marilyn,

My parent's dogs are sweet and they have gone through obedience class.  
The Brittany actually used to be my dog, so I trained her.  However, my 
parents rules concerning the dogs in the house are pretty laid back.  
It's their house and their rules.  I totally respect that.

Yes, maybe my guide and their dogs would get along well.  Perhaps 
someday I will take him.  I don't know.  At this time my parents do not 
wish to have more dogs in their home.  It's nothing against me or my 
dog.  It's just their home and their wishes.

Similarly I do not take my guide dog into people's personal vehicles or 
homes without being specifically invited.  That's their private space.  
I wouldn't smoke cigarettes there or spray a bunch of perfume or 
rearrange their furniture.  To me it's simply honoring their space.  I 
am fine with people bringing their dog into my home as long as I know 
beforehand and the dog gets along well with others.  Others may not care 
at all, that's their choice in their home.

This is just the way I do things.  I realize it's different from the way 
many others manage things.  That's okay.
Julie

I have two of my own. at one time I had three when I kept my retired guide, had my working guide and my pet dog. No problem since they are all well behaved. I am watching in March the same three for  a week while my friends go away. I also work so the dogs are left home and none are crated. I wouldn't watch a dog that isn't well behaved.  I was asked to watch another person's dog who is gone with my friends so that would make it 6 dogs but I declined. I don't really no that dog.
