Ginny, Part 11: Whose Dog is Whose???

So, remember that Kayla is Maggie's primary doggie day care provider. My mother in law recently shared this memory:

I remember , Ginny telling story of her walking Maggie  in morning, meeting Kayla going to bus stop & Kayla getting on her knees to talk &  pet Maggie. She noticed the bond between them.

Maggie was a blessing. The pet Kayla always wanted.

But what happens when you add Lexi to the mix? Ginny wasn't about to let either dog lack attention and continued to spoil my family. Maggie became Colin's responsibility and Lexi became Kayla's responsibility. (But when spending the night, they both stayed together in Kayla's room.) And the dogs really bonded with their respectful caregiver, even though we all shared responsibilities.


Maggie was pretty content at either of our houses. Lexi was fine here but LOVED when Ginny would come to get her. It was a race to the door whenever Ginny would come to get them and ring the doorbell. As soon as the doorbell rang, both dogs would come from wherever they were.

Now, picking up two dogs is a little tricky, so Ginny & I made a game of it. Whichever dog made it to the door first got to see Mommy first. Lexi usually won. Whenever Lexi won, Maggie was pretty content to go back to what she was doing while Ginny & I would chat, but when it was time to go, she'd jump in Ginny's other arm and away they went. But on those rare occasions that Maggie won, I would have to grab Lexi and hold on tight or she'd jump out of my arms to Ginny!

And now they both shared the window which allowed them to keep an eye out for us.
