For those with more than 2 dogs, what do you do to ensure that each feels they are special and not lost in the crowd? How do you deal with coming home and having them all vying for your attention? Do you have an order in which you always greet them (how do you decide)? Do you take turns/days taking them out with you on errands?

Thank you guys very much for your insights... this is my first time having more than one dog and I just want to make sure they ALL know how very much loved they are - don't want anyone feeling left out.

I really love the dynamic of multiple dogs - they have so much fun running around playing with each other when they aren't swarming us. It's so fun to watch them when they don't know we're watching... before having a single dog each time, they were always fixated on us all the time. Now, they just dash in and out the dog door and chase each other and sleep with each other all day long... the cutest is to watch them kiss each other. I feel better and have enjoyed reading all your how you do its

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
