Meet Mimi and Cooper. These little ones are a lot of fun to be around. Their parent's wanted to train them to go to the potty inside on wee wee pads, tone their barking down and how to sit.

One is easy, Three is FUN!

These three pups certainly got a chance to become friends. Zeus stayed with Rocky and Riley for a few days while his parents handled some things.

Keeping their focus is not as easy as it looks. But Ashley sure makes it seem that way doesn't she?
