Well the day my kitties has feared has come! Yesterday we adopted a baby standard poodle to come live with us. My kitties have lived with dogs, but it's been almost 3 years since the death of our last poodle. This puppy has been raised with cats (she's 8 weeks old) as much as you can be "raised" in 8 weeks! She is a precious little cream colored girl, weighing in at about 5 lbs. now and really seemed to want to be friends with my little guys.
My big guy, Trevor, took one look at her and went upstairs where he has been ever since (under the bed as I type). Andy, who I thought would be the scaredy cat, did a total "puff" when he saw her, doubling up to twice his size! He seems to be spending lots of time in the basement since then. The pup is on the main floor, so you see everyone is now living on a different level.
Hopefully when I get home from work I will make another attempt to bring everyone together. I don't want to force anything but I want my kitties to know that everything will be OK. I'll keep you posted!
