I Faulkner is entire I foresee issues. There will be a pack - with you and husband as potential top dogs - or maybe the other bipeds as top dogs. Below the top dogs there will be pecking order, and if to the doggy mind the relative status of the top dogs (bipeds) is unclear IMHO there will be more vying for pack order. I am surprised that the big bitch (that's Sadie, not you) is not top dog.


Keep an eye on entire males who may tend to mark foodbowls (disgusting, but it's what top dog tries to do) and very forcefully prevent such.


Exercise until dogs are totally knackered (so long as none are too young or too old) is likely to be the best canine valium.
