The kids called; they're going on vacation and would like us to take Maggie for the week they're gone. Last year when they asked, we said "No" because of dealing with The Beast's neuroses and I didn't want to deal with both large dogs on top of the cats.
Our son seems to think that having Maggie with us might help to calm The Beast down; I highly doubt it, but I don't want to see Maggie be kenneled either. Before we had Jackie, we would always take Maggie in; she's a total sweetheart and I dearly love that girl. She goes with us with no trouble; if I visit my sister, Maggie goes right along. She's just that laid-back, a total change from that blasted beagle we have to deal with.
I'm thinking about trying it. The problem is that, if the beagle goes crazier, there won't be anything we can do about it; once Maggie is here, I won't throw her into a kennel and The Beast will just have to deal.....for a change. We don't know how she'd act with another dog in the house, esp one that's bigger than she is.
Anybody have any thoughts about this? Good grief, two d*gs and five cats....just shoot me now.
