The house has been a little bit of a zoo this week – in addition to Charlie and Gus (the new little guy has a name) we’ve been dog sitting Birdie, my sister’s puppy.

Charlie was a really good sport about having two puppies invade “his” happy home. He’s getting used to having Gus around. Even if he doesn’t really play with Gus, at least he seems to tolerate having a new “little brother”. And we’ve even caught them taking a nap together a couple times! These two are gonna be good buddies!

Birdie has been a great houseguest. She has an overload of that fabled puppy energy. I’m not sure she ever really stops. Charlie tolerates her pretty much like he tolerates Gus, but they’ve been great partners on walks together and had fun at the dog park yesterday. On the way home, they were conked out side-by-side in the car.

If Charlie and Birdie are getting along, Gus and Birdie are best friends. They play together pretty much non-stop – tug-o-war with toys, wrestling, chasing each other. It’s a blast to watch.

Birdie’s going home tonight. Charlie will probably have mixed emotions, but Gus is going to be so sad. Come back soon Birdie!
