We have 3 puppies that live with us. Well they aren't really puppies, they are all fully grown dogs, but they are little so I like to think of them as puppies. And when I say they live with us, I mean I don't feel that I "own" them, we live together in a happy house. Dust and I work, and they live the sweet life (yes, I do get jealous sometimes).
We bought Ninja from a pet store when he was almost 3 months old. I didn't really want a puppy, but Dustin was in LOVE with this one. On a random day, Dust just stopped in the pet store (because I like to see all the baby animals) and right away the girl at the counter said "Hi, yes he's still here". Part of me just went "Oh no". The last little puppy of a litter was sitting by himself in a pen. Dustin went over and picked him up, held him out to me and just said "Can I please come home with you guys?" After a rather brief discussion with the girl working the counter and my husband, who desperately wanted this puppy, I found out that he had been in the store almost every day for two weeks visiting this specific puppy. How on earth was I supposed to say no? So, Ninjitsu Magoo (aka Monster) officially became a Hyatt.

We both work full time and I have always been a firm believer in puppies should have friends too, so after living with us for 2 months Ninjitsu needed a girlfriend. Well, it wasn't really that thought out of a decision. What actually happened was: We went to the pet store to buy bird treats and dog toys and there was a rolly, polly little girl puppy and I immediately fell in love with her. Mimzicola Muffet (aka The Phat) came home with us about an hour later.

Ninja and Mimzy fell in love and had 6 babies. 5 boys and 1 girl. The girl was the last one born and was actually a bit of a surprise in the morning. I went to bed and there were 5 black little boys snuggling their mommy, and when I woke up in the morning there was an extra puppy and it was white. Dustin was convinced that we needed to keep the one white girl puppy and after a rather hard time getting rid of all of the boys, she was the only one left. Panda Bear had her collar and name tag randomly brought home by Dustin one day after work and eventually when people asked if we were getting rid of her the answer changed from "Yes, do you know someone who wants her?" to "Nope".

So there you have it. Our puppy family was complete. Mom, Dad, and Baby Girl. Ironically it's exactly how our human family worked out too. Mom, Dad and Baby Girl.
