Three is a crowd

So this is Sampson, a four year old lab mix that will be coming to live with Joe, Jack, Lilly and I for quite some time. Sampson's owner, Jimmy, is a good friend of ours and he is temporarily living back at his parent's house so he can save up money to put a down payment on a house. Unfortunately, Jimmy parent's are not big fans of Sampson to say the least. They actually called Jimmy the other day to break the horrible news that Sampson is no longer welcome at their house.

I have watched Sampson before while Jimmy was out of town on business, but two bigs and one small dog sure is a crowd in just one house. Since we do have a dog-friendly house with a fenced in backyard, I told Jimmy that Samspon can come live with us until he finds a place of his own. Samspon is a well behaved dog, but a big problem that I have is that he constantly barks at our neighbors when they are outside. I cannot always keep him inside because it gets too hectic, but I do not want to be a disturbance to our neighbors. I could never give up my two dogs and I don't expect a good friend to give up his own either. I know how much Sampson means to Jimmy so we will just have to make it work. I will have to start reading the three dogs blog to find out what life is like with three dogs! Wish me luck!

Do any of my fellow Georgia dog lovers have any advice??

Wow Karen! Four dogs is definitely a lot of dogs! We usually let the big dogs stay outside for most of the day (weather permitting, of course!) and bring them in at dusk as well.
