And Midas joins the crowd

I'm still not sure how it happened, but somehow I have turned into a three dog household! Dusty is King of the roost, but in a weak moment, I succumbed to the "two puppies is better than one" theory advanced by a friend of mine who believes that with two they chew on each other and generally leave you alone! Midas was a stray in the neighborhood - he'd been wandering for about 2 weeks when I took him in after a neighbor spent a week terrorizing him trying to get him to leave his yard. He's about 1-2 wks older than T, and way too smart. My only regret is that this makes another Beardie in my life an impossibility right now...the vet bills are killing me and we don't even want to talk about the puppy kibble we're going through by the TON!
I tried to be hardhearted and worked hard to find him another home, but it was almost 3 weeks before I got anyone interested and 4 before I got an offer from a good home - by which time he and Dusty had become major buds and he'd managed to worm his way into the cracks in my cold heart as well...so, for the time being, he stays.
I think in one of my last T posts I mentioned taht he was 10.6 lbs? 12 days later he was 17.2. Over half pound a DAY! I have not been back yet, but am conservatively estimating him at 42+ and 4.5 months. I think I'm in trouble! But he was such a TINY puppy - who'd've guessed?! Midas although bigger size wize is around same weight, possibly slightly less than T.
Dusty has really shown a soft spot for Midas that he didn't have with T - they seem to have more similar playing styles than he and T do. Also, Midas doesn't bark at him, he just rubs up against him when he wants his attention.
I will post new pics of the darlings...
