London came first, then Preston...but for the most part, the one that gets attention/greeting/treat/etc first is the one that performs the command first.

I'm a housewife so I am with both dogs all day and they don't fight for my attention or anything. London is much more independent than Preston who loves to snuggle all day, so we don't have an issue of who wants to be picked up, etc during the day. I have to make sure I give London more attention than she asks for because she is content laying by herself most of the day (when not playing with Preston). Preston always wants attention. lol

When my husband comes home from work, it's a nightmare (which we are working on) and both dogs bark their heads off and once my husband is in the door, they sometimes get in a scrap fighting for his attention. We make them both sit quietly before he will pick them up and greet them. Other than that, the dogs don't fight for attention anything...we take them both on walks together most of the time, but London occasionally gets to ride in the car if I go get coffee, etc. I don't generally take Preston as he's not as into it as she is.

We do OK at bedtime, they all rush us for kisses when we first get in bed, but then they all seem to like their own place (Daisy likes being at the bottom, Pip likes the pillow up by our heads and Gracie takes turn lying against each of our sides). But when we are going about the day and one sees someone else getting lovins, they all run up and want some. We have the Me!Me!Me! syndrom here... I just pick them up one at a time to love on them but wondered if someone would feel rejected when I set them down to pick another up...I probably worry too much

I think you worry too much about them feeling neglected; If they all get a turn to be picked up and snuggled, they are probably content...but of course, they always want more. Also, I believe dogs feed off of your body language and verbal cues, so if you act like one is being neglected (ie: "Aww, poor so-and-so" or if you look sad), they will basically milk it for all it's worth. lol Preston will get belly rubs, and if I talk to him like a baby, he will move his arms back and forth on his back to get more...he could do that all day long. :thumbsup:
