Okay, so all of you who have multiple dogs, I am curious....how do you do it? It sounds silly, but seriously, I feel like mine are slowly taking over my house. I have definately giving up form for function.
For instance, with one dog, feeding pretty much isnt an issue. I guess it isnt with 3 either...as long as you have the space. How do you feed them? Seperate, Together, Do they all have their OWN bowl or mat, or does it just vary? Are they all on the same or different foods? Do they try to eat the others food? I had to take my breakfast table OUT OF MY KITCHEN to make room for a shelf to house their food and treats, and so that I had enough room to put down water-saver rugs and their bowls, and have them spread out enough that they dont try to look at the other ones bowl. Oh, AND I had to put up wallpaper so that I could wipe the nose smudges off the wall.
Toys......Do you have toy boxes? If so, what are they made of? I used to have baskets, but they ate them, so I had to get wooden boxes that are placed at 3 places in my house, all filled with toys. Living Room, their bedroom, and my office. This is the only thing that keeps them from making my things into their toys. There also seems to be ALOT more toys with 3 of them.
Crates.....where are they? Most of you know mine have their little room off of my master bedroom, but I have also put some in my dining room (which is right by the entryway) for quick crating if someone stops by etc. These are also the same crates we use for travel. Ahhhhhhh travel.......that brings up another one......do they all ride loose in the car? Or in crates? My car wont fit crates, so I have to put the crates in the trunk (broken down) and Ziris and Piper sit in the backseat, Rommel rides in the front. (Yes......there is NO room for people)
What about walks? Do you walk them all together? Seperate? Alternate Days? Recently, I have been walking all 3 of mine at once. They are doing really good, but there are times when it gets interesting.
I am just curious, maybe looking to pick up a few good ideas from you all
Pictures, if you have em.

My family thinks I am nuts, but I cant be the only one.

They have taken over!
Oh also.........for those of you who are gardeners..........how in the WORLD do you keep them out of it?
