Yes, Layla still goes to my grandma's so she gets to relax and sleep alone all day!

I have two alphas too and they seem to work things out. I did train my bigger boy to wait while I feed the girls and that seems to work. What I can't train him to do is share his toys

I love the rescues! So very happy you took them both into your home! What cuties they all are! Hoping Layla will adjust having to two new sibling. Just watch them close.. I know you are.
 I think Cash looks like a maltese too. I have a maltese so I am a little partial... and then my mom has her yorkie, so I love them too!!!

Jazzi wants to be the alpha dog but she's mean about it especiallly when they are going outside. We found out that if Reuger goes out first then she will respect him more. If she goes out first then she waits for Reuger and bites him all the way down the sidewalk. As far as the food goes there doesn't seem to be a problem.
I hope they all get things worked out and leave Layla alone. I bet that she'll enjoy the company of the others once she gets used to them. |

If Layla has her Grandma all day, she really has it good! Do they all eat together? If you feed Layla first, she may become the alpha. You and Scott are the real alphas, and I would think you can kind of push the hierarchy among the three dogs. It doesn't sound like Lucy is going to be a problem for Layla, being that she is so shy.
I love you both for taking the 2 rescues in!

They all get fed at the same time, we put all their bowls down at the same time, but Layla always eats hers first. The other two don't really eat very much. Well, Kash will usually just want to play instead of eating, until he gets really hungry. Lucy will eat if we hand feed her a few kibbles, and then she'll eat the rest later. Sometimes I have to push Kash away from Lucy's food because he'll go there first! We put water in Lucy's food to soften it so she doesn't have to chew because she only has three teeth. Kash is missing his front teeth but he can chew just fine with his side teeth! He just wants it easy like Lucy has it lol!
Last night, Layla was sleeping in her bed and Kash went in and sat in it until she moved. I saw that, so I got up and put Kash in his bed and put Layla back in hers. She laid down again. I watched, and he slowly stepped out of his bed and into hers again. She was about to leave and I said "NO!" and I put him in his bed again, and I pushed him into a laying position and told him to leave Layla alone! Well, he stayed in his bed for the rest of the night! Maybe I do have some power around here lol!

How cute! He sounds adorable! A little handful, huh? Please take some pix!
Annie won the dog bed fight she and Max were having. She is laying in there now. I will buy another one just like it if they still have it at TJ Maxx. It's a really nice bed, and only cost $14.99! I can put the other bed upstairs. That one was $9.99!
