As with the pool, without proper upkeep and love, the dogs become completely unmanagable.  Having 3 uncontrolled border collies will cause a dog owner to go crazy and hate their dogs.  This is why many high maintaince animals are given up. As time goes on, I have forgotten that owning such dogs takes alot of time and patience.  With our hectic schedules, I have left the dogs go on the wayside and we all are suffering.  I feel like I need the Dog Whisperer but honestly, I just need to spend more time with them.

Starting today, my pups have to be a priority again. After bringing out the treats and doing a few simple commands aka working them, I was reminded what wonderful dogs they really are.  I was reminded quickly how smart Piper is, yet very defiant…in a cute-only-a-mother-could-love sorta way.  I remembered that JJ only wants to please me. She’s simple.  And Lukas, just wants to be loved and played with.  They’re not that difficult to manage.  As a family, we all need to see the beauty in our wonderful dogs again and give them the time and attention we vowed when we rescued them. 

I love my dogs!
