4 guys, 3 dogs, 1 house1004http://amarkedchange.com/2009/09/29/4-guys-3-dogs-1-house/4+guys%2C+3+dogs%2C+1+house2009-09-29+15%3A38%3A22Wes+Howard

The place I live is now a zoo. We got a new roommate and with him came a new dog. A young dog. An energetic young dog. His name…. Beethoven. Just kidding, his name is Wyatt.

Before Wyatt, the other two dogs in the house (Squirrel and Katie) lived a life of laying on the couch and pooping in the back yard. Their biggest worry was trying to reach that itch.

This is Squirrel.

This is Katie.

Enter Wyatt

That’s Wyatt and behind him was his dog food bag.

The next picture is some carnage that Wyatt did to my room after kicking the door open and running upstairs to share his mud with me.

Now things are different. At first Squirrel and Katie were annoyed and mad that a new dog was in the house that wanted to play and lick them constantly. Then things started to change, they still hate to be licked and bothered, but now they have a new attitude. They escape the backyard together. In fact, I found all three making a break for it this morning.

Katie is back to turning over trash cans and rummaging through them. Squirrel thinks the carpet mat in the bathroom is HIS bathroom. They are all acting Wyatt’s age and not their own.

Hopefully this is all just a phase that will go away, but it’s been interesting to see the behavior of the other dogs. If iron sharpens iron, then young dogs ruin old dogs behavior.

One last picture. Here’s Wyatt trying to get back through a hole he dug to the neighbors house.
