Lena the Dog Gives Silent Treatment to New Brother
30 Oct
Summary
- Lena, an 8-pound dog, is reportedly not warming up to the family's new 4-pound rescue dog, Javi.
- Kelly Ripa noted Lena has been giving her the silent treatment since Javi's arrival.
- The Consuelos-Ripa family adopted Javi during a 'Live' Adopt a Dog Week event.
Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have welcomed a new dog, Javi, into their family, but their resident dog, Lena, is reportedly not embracing the new addition. Lena, an eight-pound Maltese Shih Tzu mix, has been described by Ripa as "super on the fence" about Javi, who weighs four pounds.
Videos shared by the couple show Javi happily playing with Lena's toys, while Lena appears indifferent or unimpressed. Ripa humorously noted that Lena has been giving her the silent treatment since Javi, whom they brought home in 2021, arrived. The family adopted Javi during the "Adopt a Dog Week" segment on 'Live With Kelly and Mark' on October 20, 2026. Javi was undergoing treatment for a parasite prior to his adoption.
