Cat's arrival - June 24, 2010

this is from my whole family and our first impressions of Cat.

Dear Aussieboarders...

My mom brought home a new dog. And it's a GIRL! WTH? I thought *I* was the only bitch allowed in this house! I'm undecided if I like her (she bit me yesterday morning, so I'm leaning towards no, but mom got after her and now she realizes my higher status in this house) and I'm punishing mom by not coming to bed at night till she's asleep.

Dear Aussieboarders.
The cat can go home anytime. She's scary and she bites my bum when I run outside, I don't like that. However, she's kinda fun in the house.

DEAR AUSSIEBOARDERS,
I'M MOVING OUT, THERE'S TOO MANY DOGS. ANY TAKERS? I THINK I'M GONNA MOVE TO GRAMMA AND GRAMPA'S. SORRY FOR THE CAPS, I'M A LOUD DOG BY NATURE. THE NEW DOG IS REALLY REALLY CUTE AND FUN THOUGH, MAYBE I'LL STAY.

Hey guys! Momma brought home a new friend for me! FINALLY I got my half birthday present! The first day I had to let her know that I wasn't gonna be low man on the totem pole no more and I sat on her head. Now we're bestest friend and mom says she's gonna have to go buy more socks. We both looove socks, but now that there's two sock loving dogs we tend to like to play tug with them, and mom doesnt' really like that. The only problem with her is that she's really exhuberant in the morning and I'm not quite ready to play that rough when it's early. She's super duper fun in the evening though!

*a note from the human. Cat is settling in nicely, she has found every toy in the house and tried it out. The pack is still figuring things out, but everyone's being really good about it. There was a slight skirmish over a toy yesterday afternoon with the girls, but they seem to be fine together now. Cat plays *totally* different from the rest of the dogs, so they're figuring her out still and learning that when she gets too rough, it's okay to tell her so! Turner doens't like her play style, but is warming up to her. I'm sure soon they will be fast friends, it took him nearly 4 months to like Porter! Argus is in love of course. Porter really likes Cat, except in the morning, he takes a bit to wake up, and she's READY TO ROCK!
