Animal Heaven, for sure!

If there ever was a chance to get into Doggie Heaven, I think we've got our in.
Living in our home we have 120 or so pounds of a Bernese Mountain dog named Kody.
Coming in a few pounds lighter is Tiemma. A mix of Sheperd and Timberwolf.
We have Winston McTavish (aka Froof) weighing in at a whopping 12 pounds.
Now for the feline variety. You've already met Kitty Princess.
Then there's Gato Malo. He thinks he's a dog.
Then there's Herbert. The fastest turtle in the world. Trust.
You'd think that would be enough, right? Nope. Within a week we are adding Triever, the Golden Retriever to the menagerie. He belongs to our nephews and due to recent circumstances the dogs needed new homes. We've decided to take him so the nephews can still enjoy him when they're down at our house. He's going to be a lot of work. A. Lot. Of. Work. A big part of me is feeling some anxiety about bringing him in with his lack of manners but I am married to my own Dog Whisperer. It's going to be weeks of some scolding, some hard discipline and tears from me, I'm sure, but it's the training phase. It's time for the dog to learn that he's a dog and not the ruler of the house. Start praying now. : )
