My son and his family moved in last weekend, and brought their pit, Snoop with them. So we have 3 adults, 3 kids, and 3 dogs in the house now. All high maintenance.
My granddaughter is almost 5 and spends a lot of time crawling around on the floor (she pretends she's a horse, what can I say) and walking around with food (less and less with each day). But she interacts with the dogs as if she is one of them and they have all been very considerate of her.
It was kind of stressful at first because that's a lot of kids and dogs bouncing around and not much room, but we seem to be settling in quite well. Last night snoop got to sleep in the living room with klaus, we didn't make him go into the bedroom with his family. Though come to think of it, he ended up in there anyway, he was in tehre when I woke up...my son must've gotten up and let him in at some point in the middle of the night, snoop probably was whining at his door. Mylo heads back to the bedroom in the evening and tucks in with my daughter, so she's safely out of the way.
My son took klaus to the beach the other day...he said the beach was full of people and dogs, and he and klaus came to an understanding about what is acceptable behavior when he sees a dog (hint...it is not to jump up and bark and claw the air and hit the end of the leash and try to get loose). That's a good thing.
