Re: Lucky successfully disintacted

Paul,
I am glad that Lucky came through her surgery and is doing fine. I am
also glad that she is recuperating in a place where someone can keep an
eye on her.
I know I have encouraged you to keep Lucky, but if you feel like it is
going to much for you that is a choice that only you can make.
I have said two dogs are better than one. That has been the case for
me. Now that I have 2 older dogs and 2 younger dogs I often consider
how much more time I would have to spend with each if I did not have a 4
dog family. Anyway, I do not regret taking on any of them.
The sex, the size, the age, and some of the time the breed does not
establish who the alpha dog is going to be.
I agree with Montana do not invite both of them to get on the bed if
Muttley has already claimed it. You will find out soon enough if Lucky
is going to be joining him, replacing him, or finding her own little bed
near yours. There was no blood shed when that happened here. It was
all done by eyeballs and subtle moves. You can learn a lot by watching
them.
I hope Lucky gets to stay if you want her to, but I know you will do
what is best for all of you.
Do you a pic of her handy? The one I saw did not look like she
weighed 75 pounds but pics can be deceiving. I am sure the Vet weighed
her when he spayed her.
Good Luck
