I currently have 7 chis in my house. With that many, it is impossible to spend one on one time like I would like to, so what I normally do is rotate "days" between the dogs. Sometimes I get a weekday I can use, but I always have Saturday and Sunday....on these days, I take ONE chi with me where ever I go (usually to mom's lol) and spend one on one time with that chi that day. They get to be the one to sit on my lap all day, they get the occasional snuck bite of human food, ect.....This works well for us. Marsha

Do you all ever feel guilty for not spending enough time with your dogs? I just cancelled a visit with friends tomorrow because I'll be gone a lot of the day Sunday too and just felt too guilty for being gone most of Saturday and Sunday... The dog has been out running at the beach with his dog walker all week ( he usually is just with her in the mornings, but this week he's been gone from 9-4pm'ish) and then I have been home every evening. Am I being neurotic about my dog? I feel like I could stand a break, but I also feel like, if I'm not going to be with my doggie as much as I can, why did I bother. Do any of you feel conflicted like this? Thanks A neurotic (?) mom. :)
