The only period of high anxiety during the day is first thing in the morning. Mandy, Anya, Rico, and Binski wait at the RV door, each wanting to be the first out for their morning walk. I stagger out of bed and try to get the leash on one of them before “accident” time. There is a pee pad handy just in case. They taught me that by peeing on the rug. They’re excellent teachers.

The three on the left are rescues. The one on the right is Binsky. We got him as a puppy.

I would write more about the kids here but each one wants a page of his own.
