Here's a secret:
i actually have a whole entire housefull of fur-kids. Milo's my favorite though, so i just pretend the rest don't exist.
No...Milo's my boy, so i talk about him most. I live with my mom's wheaten, but he's her dog. He doesn't really interact with me at all. Actually, he doesn't really interact with anyone at all. The dog has ZERO social skills.

I tend to talk about Marlowe more. He's my heart dog. I don't know what it is about that dog but he's definitely *mine* and Conrad has always been more "ours". I'm the one who found Mar at the shelter and had to lobby DH to be able to adopt him. I'm the one who has trained him, 100%. I feel like we just understand each other and he's just my idea of a dream dog.
It's not like I never talk about Conrad though. I love that guy but he's not the most easy dog in the world to live with. He's got separation anxiety, he's leash reactive with other dogs, he's not real happy about kids, he's fearful and guardy and cranky. He's also absolutely in looooove with us, very quiet, handler-focused and able to parse commands like, "Conrad, you're really irritating me, go over there and lay down and hang on for a second." We really screwed up training him though back in the bad old days when we didn't know what the heck we were doing, so he's got some quirks. So when I talk about Conrad it's usually in the context of asking for or giving advice about what to do with a problem dog.

For me its Teddy.He is my only dog now as I left my other 2 in my brothers care when my husband and I split with every intention of finding a place here and getting them back with me.My so called husband went and took them then gave them away.I do not know where they are and I miss them every day. The one good thing is no matter how much I hate the thing he is with I know she would not just give them to just anyone.
I think I end up talking more about Cleo and Molly. When my hubby and I bought this house, we moved my parents in. They live in the basement and we have the upstairs. Charlie is technically my mothers dog and is very attached her although he does enjoy getting lovins and treats from everyone. Molly is everyones dog and Cleo is my girl, my little shadow.
