Helland House Chaos

Because we felt that we were not busy enough with a baby and studying for the bar, we added to our family two weeks ago. Meet Pipin, another cute yet yappy yorkie. He was Brian's parents dog that they gave to a special needs lady to be her companion dog when they had to move into a rental and could not keep him. The lady did well with him at first but soon it was apparant that she could not care for him. He then went to live with another family in our neighborhood, but they felt he was too much for them. (ie. they didn't want to take time and train him) Rather than putting him into yet another attempted home we decided to let him stay here while we work on his dominance issues and potty-training. And for now Brian wants to keep him. I am not so sure about that. Three dogs is a lot. We are not talking about a senior dog and a couple others, rather we have a four year old and two three year olds, meaning that we will have a full dog house for a LONG time. He gets along well with Noah who laughs histarically at him. Hudson and him fight over who gets to be close to me while I'm studying. And Jamba is in love because she has a new playmate. Now that Jamba is on medication and feeling much better we have doggy wrestling matches again. For some reason all three feel the need to be in the small living room wrestling when Noah is on the floor with an adult playing, so it definately feels cramped some times. Anyhow here is a video of the Helland House Chaos on a typical day!

It is so great to see Jamba like this! Wonderful! I hope she'll recover completely soon. And I'm glad you guys can handle Pipin on top of everything else, I know we couldn't.
