    I've adopted ferals before. It can be done, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and patience.

    Had an 'interesting' night last night as woken at 3am by Shadow barking and carrying on out in the back porch where he sleeps. Upon getting up and going out there I understood why as could then hear the pack of Coyotes carrying on perhaps a couple of hundred feet away in out bush, not wanting encourage this 'conversation' between them all I let him in the house ....and in the bedroom!
    He quickly decided that on the bed with the master was the place to be (a first) which I was fine with BUT he also decided that the master needed a through washing before settling down. Its hard to sleep when any exposed flesh is being licked and pawed to be made accessible, I am sure there are other dog owners that know exactly what I mean..........

    Tia, The largest dog has a rug she sleeps on, occasionally She likes to squeeze in with the other two. You're right, though. If they are gonna sleep together We're gonna need a big boat uh bed.
