New Addition to the Fam

My sister's dog Jake has come to stay with us for a week or so. If we thought that adding one more dog to the dog circus we're already running wouldn't be such a big deal, we were totally wrong. Totally. Jake has extremely long legs and the IQ of a house plant, the result being that we are constantly having to rescue him from trees, large neighbor dogs, the kitchen table, etc. We took all 5 dogs for a walk this morning and an absolutely enormous black lab took a liking to Jake's shapely rump (and it is shapely) and followed us, sniffing happily, for the last mile and a half. We tried to ditch him several times, but he was determined. Either that, or dumb as a box of rocks. I hope he got home okay, because we pretty much shut the door in his face.

Now all our dogs are napping, quite tuckered out from the three mile run this morning, but Jake is still hyper, running into walls and getting tangled up in chair legs. Not God's best work, there.
