We've added rescue dog #3 - Betts - to our menagerie!

Koda (foreground, Aussie Golden mix), Marlin (big tan/white lab mix), on the bed with Betts, a 20 lb possibly Feist (looks like a Rat Terrier mixed with a bit of beagle). I think that's enough for now!

Very different personality. Marlin gets jealous of the attention (and Betts' ability to get on to chairs, the couch, our bed).

Watching them play - in twos, occasionally all three - has been fascinating.

It's all good - they are all pretty young, so Sue and I will be well owned for many years.

they tend to live downstairs during the day - as the song says, "they only come out at night!)

Koda has become an incredible dog - it took a year for him to accept me. His personality is so unusual - clearly not a lab - likes to herd. Very protective.

Marlin is just a sloppy, silly, love bug of a lab. All legs and eyes, all energy - and he sings to some songs (not as nice as Mocha did, but not bad!).

Who knows with Betts - many mysteries to uncover!

Marlin and Betts are awful leash walkers - Sue and I have work to do!
