Everyone in my neighborhood has a dog, just about all of them are in that 25 to 50 pound range and all of them are good natured, playful females, they're all best friends and they all get along fantastic. But here's the funny thing, their rules, I guess:
A) if one dog takes a toy from his own yard to another dog's yard then that toy becomes the other dog's toy for the entire day.
B) on any given day a single yard is the decided play area for that day and all the toys must be taken and left in that yard. (Some days when I mow I have to pause to move a dozen or more toys, somedays I never see a single toy. I can drive down my street and tell where the dogs spent their day just by the number of toys laying in the front lawns. )
C) if a single dog is called upon to jump into it's owner's vehicle, than all the dogs must jump into that vehicle. (this morning I hollered "Want to go for a ride" to my dog and in an instant I had five well mannered dogs sitting in my vehicle.
)
D) if there is a cookout then this yard gets the automatic bid as the "sad eyed" hangout for the day. This takes priority over all existing toy rules.
E) if one dog takes a nap on his back with his legs sticking straight up then all the dogs must take their naps in that same yard on their backs with their legs sticking straight up. (imagine how this looks to the casual passerby....)
This is the strangest group of dogs I've ever witnessed, especially in light that they are all females and that none of them were brought into the neighborhood at the same time as their ages range from about 6 years old to less then a year. There is clearly no dominate dog and the only thing I can figure is that it's because all of the owners are dog lovers? Everyone plays with these dogs and everyone pretty much treats them the same. Go on vacation and you never need a sitter!
