Play Time + 8 dogs = lots of photos!!!!

[MyTrixie143]

I took these pictures yesterday for all of you to see. Here is all 8 dogs playing, although in some shots you can't see all 8 dogs, but they are there.
These photos were really hard to take, they were all action shots and if I didn't have a nice digital camera now there is no way I would have gotten any of these shots. The down side is my camera takes 5-10 seconds before it snaps the picture, you have to hold it down for it take the picture. So instead of getting all 8 of them playing together, two walk off just as the picture takes, lol.

Please excuse their hair, they were all brushed all with nice neat topknots before they started playing, didn't last long did it, lol.

Anyways here are the pictures. Daisy is the big border collie in these shots.
She plays so well with them, they all gain up an attack her and she is just so gentle with them. Oh and when you see bundles of fur, they is more than one or two dogs there, they are just in a pile and you can't see them all that well.

I have quite a few pictures, so it will probably take 4 or 5 posts to show them all.

Here they are all gaining up on Daisy, lol.

The first photo actually has all 8 dogs in it. Peppi is off to the side, can you spot the other 7??

Look how rough the little ones are to big Daisy!!! She does take alot from them!!

Tug o War!!!!!

Here they are playing tug o war. Of course the little ones win every time!!!

The first picture there are actually 4 playing tug o war.

Last picture is Sugar and Candy playing with a toy. Aren't they so cute!!

[MyTrixie143]

Here are the toys they were playing with. I finally found something big enough to store all their toys in rather than using several boxes. This is probably only half their toys as some are out, I had to throw half of them away due to holes and other damage, and there are several toys in their play pens. So we have plenty of toys and will keep adding more. The toys fit in the bin pretty well, but the lid won't shut on it, lol.

And here is a close up of Sugar, she loves the camera and had to get right in front of it!!! Candy is a bit camera shy so it is hard to get pictures of her.

Just a few more pictures.....:D

Here are Daisy, Peppi and Destiny all wore out after play time. I ran out of camera space or I would have gotten some of the others sleeping.

And here are a couple of pictures of my little Destiny. Isn't she just beautiful!! She has such a nice gorgeous silk coat!! Sugar and Candy are the same size as her now!!

All right that is all for now!!!

:partytime: :martini: That's a great playtime for all those pups!!! Are they all yours? I bet you need a drink (before, during and after) to keep up with all of them. It's wonderful that all of them get along so well and are so socialized. If they are all yours--where do they sleep and do you feed them all at the same time? Do you groom all your pups? You are one great doggy mom!!!
Jack loves to play with other dogs too. His cousin Champ (boxer) is so sweet and let's him just beat up on her. They chase each other all over the house and then fall asleep next to each other.
A friend of mine at work puppysat her daughter's maltipoo for 2 weeks at Christmas. Jack and Bella had a playdate and I think they are engaged!!! Jack is nuetered but Bella isn't spayed yet (next month). Well, this little hot New York momma was all Jack wanted and she teased him plenty. I told her about the site and hopefully she will sign on.

Holy Moley.......what a gang you have! They get along so well.....they must keep you in stiches with the antics! They are so cute! I love it when mine play together. Thanks for sharing all the pics! Oh, and by the way, I couldn't for the life of me find all eight in that one shot........I think I strained my eyes but I did find at least 7. :tongue6:

All 8 dogs live in the house. 6 are mine and 2 are my mom's.
2 yorkies, 3 maltese, 1 yorkiepoo, 1 cocker spaniel, and 1 border collie mix.
I do all the grooming for all of them.
The two sleep in my mom's room and Destiny, Trixie, and Scampers sleep on the bed with me. Peppi sleeps on the floor in her own bed which is next to mine. And Sugar and Candy sleep in their crates that are in my room. When they are old enough and completely potty trained the will sleep on the bed with me.

They are all spoiled and have more things than I probably do!!

I do the training of my 6 on my own. I make sure they are all socialized from a young age so all of them love people and dogs that they meet.

What is really bad is that my family and relatives love my babies and how I spoil them and care for them, that I often get to babysit their dogs. And their dogs come over and play with mine. I was babysitting 2 for my cousin awhile ago so there was 10 dogs at one time!!

I use to teach obedience training, so that is no problem for me and I have been grooming my dogs since I was 12 so again no problem for me. It comes pretty easy for me, 8 isn't my limit. You should see when we go out on walks!! We get alot of stares, lol. But they all do great on walks, once again being trained young, and I walk several of them on a coupler.

I have to say I love having this many furbabies, they are all an absolute joy to have!! And play time is my favorite, I could watch them play all day!!!

YOU ROCK LADY!! :thumb2:

4 is fun but 8 WOW!!!!! how do you do it?
well i must say your babies are beautiful so glad you posted the pictures of them i was always curious how they played its so great!

[dogloverx4]

Lucky you , I need 4 more to get my family to look like yours . Sarah

[MaxJack'sMom]

Wow!!! You are so lucky that you can groom all your dogs yourself. Are any of your babies from rescued groups or shelters? I think it's great that you can have so many pups at one time. I could never have that many in my town.
We got Jack from a no-kill shelter back in Sept. 06 at 4 months old. We are now in intermediate dog school. It's great for you--you have a full class already made to do training. That is fantastic!!

wonderful pictures... Just fabulous.

Don't know if I could handle 8 dogs though :fainted: Though, watching them play would be better than watching TV I am sure.:smlove2:

That pic of Sugar and Candy with the toy is adorable :smlove2:

Looks like they all had a terrific time! It must be both exhausting and fun at the same time!
