     Could some of the folks who have more than 1 dog respond:

     Do the dogs eventually reconnect with their human counterparts or when
     you add a second dog or more, does the "pack" mentality take over?  By
     this I mean, even tho we are stilled viewed as alpha, is that
     closeness that was once there gone for good?

     I'd heard a similar comment from someone who dogsat for a neighbor for
     a week also.  The first day was great.  The dogs played, and played,
     and played ....  By the end of the week tho, they were ready to NOT
     keep two dogs.  The had been thinking about getting a second dog for
     quite a while, then when they "lost" the bond they'd had, which was
     very strong with their dog, they knew that they are now a one dog
     family.  Just curious if this is what normally happens once additional
     dogs are brought into the house.

But they are very devoted to each other and want to do everything together!
We keep thinking they should get some individual attention once in a while
from us humans,  but they seem to get this concerned
look on their faces and whichever one we are inviting upstairs
for individual attention keeps looking behind themselves at the
one left behind longingly. And then the one left behind whines....
  :(     Us humans feel a bit left out and little jealous of their
relationship now.  :(



So will be getting more Albert slimes for myself maybe.  :)
