Kate, you couldn't be more right.
Living In our 2 bedroom house we have dh who is here 1 - 2 days a week and myself; our 19 and 21 yr old "kids" and their 20 yr old friend who is our "extra kid". At least a couple nights a week, Joels' fiancee (when she's not working).
Moses, (Standard poodle daddy of the litter) who believes the house is HIS and should not be invaded by any of these young canine upstarts.
We have Lily, who's in the house full time to keep her from being able to eat any food other than her prescription stuff and to keep an eye on her "problems".
Canada and her 3 remaining male pups out in the run. She is so tired of the pups... figures she should have more attention and lap time than she gets. (I can truly relate to how Canada is feeling!) Isn't it time for them to fly the coop yet?
Moose, the huge male pup a family friend bought and we babysit for almost daily while he works.
Snuggles, the female pup my sons finacee bought and brings here with her almost daily.
Maddie, the other dog of the fiancee... a chihauau (sp?) cross that is a quivering yipper when the pups come near her.
Sebastian, our cat who lives in the house and is teaching the pups about how to live with a feline.
As well as a rather steady stream of visitors, and puppy buyers.
We bought this place 2 yrs ago thinking the kids would soon be gone, most of the time I'd be here alone and the house would be plenty big for us.
WHAT were we thinking!?!?
Less than 1,000 sq feet with all these living, breathing characters.
The computer is my hideout...
Most of the time we're
but once in a while it does get to be too circus like and I get
So they all
and give me a bit of time alone to recover my sanity.
