Plus the fighting that kids do, I hated to discipline but I did when it was necessary. I felt if I was with them more that they would not fight.... what a dream and that it was because they were trying to get my attention which they did. I was so afraid of getting a second dog as I never had two dogs before, I have had a cat and a dog but not two dogs. There are still times that I wonder did I do the right thing? Is Abbey mad at me? Of course the baby loves her big sister as that is the only world she has known but Abbey and I were a team that we always together. I took her every where with me, she slept next to me. Now she sleeps in the heated bed with her sister and I almost feel like I lost her. She gives me these looks sometimes that just get my heart. Then I see them playing and chasing each other around the house and Abbey cleaning the baby. So I do not know what the answer is. Its only been 5 weeks so I know it takes time, but I am still waiting for that moment when I can honestly say "yeah" this was the right decision. I know that Maggie has enriched my life so much and I pray that she has also done the same for Abbey. I do on occasion take Abbey with me to certain things alone, like the Dr's as she has been going there since she was a baby and they all love her and she is a Registered Service dog so I want to have that time with her ~ but then I feel guilty about Maggie and how she feels. I am such a worry wart. So I try and drop Maggie at Gail's for a play date so that they both have special things to do. I am looking at them right now and Abbey is curled up and the baby is right behind her with her head laying on Abbey's back. I miss sleeping with my girl so I am going to have to figure out this wonderful heated bed as it is leaving me out of the picture. I just love them so much and want the best for them and also thought of it anything happens to me I have someone who has promised to take them both so that they would always have each other and I know this person would love and care for them as much as I do. I am always second guessing myself, but Maggie has brought a lot of happiness to me and I could not imagine life without her. So I guess the answer is all you can do is follow your heart and things will work as they are suppose to. I know that the answer will come and I know that it will be what my first instinct was, that she was meant to be part of our pack and I am so blessed to have her and my sweet Abbey! Merry Christmas to all!

Princess is still so jealous of Gigi. I cannot just pet or hold Gigi on my lap without her coming over and demanding attention to. I need 3 hands, one for each dog and a third for the computer! Lol! Seriously, don't any of you have a jealous problem with multiple dogs? I had 4 dogs years ago and don't remember ever having this issue.
