Our Week with House Pups

We've had quite the full week with our house guests.  Having two extra dogs really changes how you do things, what you do, and how much time you spend in the back yard picking up poop.

I is not a house guest.  I is Harlow!
For one, we discovered we couldn't walk the dogs - at least not all together.  Raven, the little black lab mix, would make a star sled dog and it made walking them all together a little difficult.  Whoever had Raven was guaranteed to come back with one arm just a little longer! 
I is furless husky...
Over all that has been our only complaint.  The dogs have gotten along very well, there was no fuss over feeding, and they discovered good behavior was rewarded with treats...
Tessie, on the other hand, was as quiet as a ghost in our house.  For those of you who have asked, she is a Aussie/cattle dog mix.  She loves to play with Harlow, but if nothing was going on she'd curl up in a corner and sleep all day.
One of these pillows met with a horrible early death.  Is this the culprit?
When she isn't sleeping she comes up and just sits and stares at you.
...and no, we don't know why...
Harlow has enjoyed having other pups to play with, even though Monty, Raven and Tessie have spent quite a bit of time ignoring her puppy antics.  In fact, I'm pretty sure they are worried about her mental health.
For the love of dog, what is wrong with you?
I think Harlow has taken being ignored quite seriously...
I is bored...
 ...and you know with Harlow, she is not shy about letting you know how she really feels about the situation.
Yup...  still bored....
Tessie and Raven are welcome to come and spend time with us anytime.  I had hoped Aaron might be willing to agree to open our house to a third pup, but whenever I bring the subject up he just starts laughing...
We have no idea why!

House Guests

What do you do when you have a dog in need of space?  Why, you invite house guests over! 
Harlow
Raven
Tessie
Monty
Oddly enough, this is possible if you take the time to properly introduce all the dogs in a neutral environment.  Tessie and Raven will be our guests for ten days.  I wonder what kind of adventures our pups can have?  Well, when they wake up from their nap...
