greysmom Posted Thursday at 04:39 PM Share Posted Thursday at 04:39 PM Misty is gorgeous!!! Funny, Pavi looks like Andi so much, and Misty and Felicity could be twins!!! Tho we've had so many greyhounds that there's going to be one that looks like every one!! 2 Quote Chris - Mom to: Felicity (DeLand), and Andi (Braska Pandora) siggy by Chris Harper, on Flickr Angels: Libby (Everlast), Dorie (Dog Gone Holly), Dude (TNJ VooDoo), Copper (Kid's Copper), Cash (GSI Payncash), Toni (LPH Cry Baby), Whiskey (KT's Phys Ed), Atom, Lilly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramonaghan Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:45 PM 4 hours ago, Patsy said: How's it going? I think Pavi did a number on Tootie. She's made herself even more scarce than before and had an accident overnight because she's too scared to roam freely. She had gotten back to normal with just Doolin here, but maybe Misty looks too much like Pavi or has too much energy (did you know two-year-olds have a lot of energy? ) and Toots is just 100% not interested in meeting her. Misty is a funny girl though. Very skittish at first but already more comfortable. She and Doo had crazy zoomies outside at 4:30 a.m., which is when she's done recharging for the night and ready for everyone to PLAY NOW. She walks around with a stuffy in her mouth, which is quite adorable. She also has the cutest derpy expression because the dark part of her muzzle makes it look like she's smiling. She has faboo eyebrows too! Going to sit with Pavi while my parents are at church this morning. She was so excited to see me yesterday she left some good scratches down my arms from jumping on me (worth it!). My parents hadn't seen that side of her and decided she must find them terribly boring—probably bc they don't have a cat! 1 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

ramonaghan Posted Sunday at 03:13 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 03:13 PM @dante2zoeI don't know how you do it. I just walked a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old solo and I need a nap. 3 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

LBass Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:14 PM Oh goodness, Misty is lovely. I see the smile and the eyebrows. When introducing new cats to the house and introducing new dogs to cats, I have had good luck setting up the big wire Greyhound crate in the living room. I fill it with everything the cats need, blankets, small litter box. Everyone meets through the wire crate. Would poor Tootie accept that or be further traumatized? 1 Quote Lucy with Greyhound Nate and OSH Tinker.

FiveRoooooers Posted Sunday at 03:36 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:36 PM Aww Tootie, please don't be afeered, Misty is a good gurl! Please try to werk it out, for alla you and Dooo!

ramonaghan Posted Sunday at 04:08 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 04:08 PM Thank you @LBass. We tried that when introducing Richard and it went over like a lead balloon. Toots is just a grande ole dame and does not appreciate interlopers in "her" house. She was fine with Doolin and Willa bc they left her alone from day one and she was used to Sweep. In all cases, big boy cats had handled any necessary dog training, and I think that's a role she just doesn't want to take on herself. Sigh. We'll give it more time though. Toots has her safe spaces, and Misty is no trouble except for those early morning wake-up calls. There is also a return boy we're waiting to hear more about; he lives with an outdoor cat who loves him and winds itself around the dog's legs without incident. 2 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

Remolacha Posted Sunday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:23 PM It does take time, cats are so bad with any changes to their routine, or life, or anything Plus, as you said, Pavi may have made her a little extra wary. Hopefully she will come around, before the next century 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonaghan Posted Sunday at 05:54 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 05:54 PM I'm realizing now that I don't think I've mentioned in this thread that Tootie is 16. She's a youthful 16 but 16 nevertheless, so we're trying to be extra cautious and mindful of her well-being. Ideal scenario would be a middle-aged bounce who's lived with a cat. Or Doo may remain an only, though I do think he has really enjoyed having these girls around. 3 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

Remolacha Posted Sunday at 06:11 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:11 PM I get it. I adopted Norma Jean when she was 15. She is a pretty healthy and youthful 17 now, but very set in her ways. Perhaps, unless the perfect match comes along, you can be the temporary foster/vacation home, so Doolin gets company sometimes and Tootie gets a break sometimes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, unless the perfect match comes along, you can be the temporary foster/vacation home, so Doolin gets company sometimes and Tootie gets a break sometimes. I like this idea. That's what we're leaning toward right now, though I do think we'll keep Misty a little longer to see how it goes. Alas, I couldn't convince my parents to do the same with Pavi—they're also seniors who are set in their ways. 2 Quote Rachel with Doolin Doodle Dooooo, boss cat Tootie, and feline squatters Crumpet and Fezziwig.

GreyPoopon Posted Monday at 12:34 AM Share Posted Monday at 12:34 AM I too get it, having brought home a succession of super-senior foster or resident kitties. Even if the kitty is the newbie, it takes time. The most recent addition--resident kitty Ducky--has adapted to dog Daisy, but is having trouble accepting the foster kitties, one of whom seems to be losing his hearing or his mind. 2 Quote Standard Poodle Daisy (12/13) Missing Cora (RL Nevada 5/99-10/09), Piper (Cee Bar Easy 2/99-1/10), Tally (Thunder La La 9/99-3/10), Edie (Daring Reva 9/99-10/12), Dixie (Kiowa Secret Sue 11/01-1/13), Jessie (P's Real Time 11/98-3/13), token boy Graham (Zydeco Dancer 9/00-5/13), Cal (Back Already 12/99-11/13), Betsy (Back Kick Beth 11/98-12/13), Standard Poodles Minnie (1/99-1/14) + Perry (9/98-2/14), Annie (Do Marcia 9/03-10/14), Pink (Miss Pinky Baker 1/02-6/15), Poppy (Cmon Err Not 8/05-1/16), Kat (Jax Candy 5/05-5/17), Ivy (Jax Isis 10/07-7/21), Hildy (Braska Hildy 7/10-12/22), Opal (Jax Opal 7/08-4/23).

I just walked a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old solo and I need a nap. Just wait until a squirrel crosses the road when you have three two and under! I am amazed how much power 115 pounds of crazy can generate. I swear, my right arm is four inches longer than my left. I really need to get a video of Lacifur spotting a squirrel. The screaming, lunging, kite-flying, and tree climbing is for the books! The best thing we did was to teach the command "around." Lacy knows and Gabe is learning to circle back around to the other side so we do not have their leash wrapped behind our legs. Fizzy, bless her furry little Aussie heart, is the most stubborn greyhound I have ever encounter. She does all kinds of things but WILL NOT do anything that you ask if she does not want to - regardless of what bribes or threats you use. She is unbelievable and paired with the Chaos Couple - oh boy! Every walk is a "hold my beer" adventure Enjoy the ride! We have learned to embrace the insanity. I am sorry that you are having a tough time with Tootie. We were very fortunate, the cats all learned to adjust to every dog that came through here, with one exception. My SIL has Shelties and the cats hated both of them and never even got lukewarm. Of course, they only saw them about 5 weekends out of the year but it was awful. (I have to admit, I am not a big fan of that breed either!) Funny thing is that now that the cats are gone, The Sheltie hates it here. He loved trying to chase the cats and now Lacy is more than happy to play chase with him and he cannot handle it Cindy 4 Quote Cindy with Miss Fancypants, Paris Bueller, Zeke, and Angus Dante (Dg's Boyd), Zoe (In a While), Brady (Devilish Effect), Goose (BG Shotgun), Maverick (BG ShoMe), Maggie (All Trades Jax), Sherman (LNB Herman Bad) and Indy (BYB whippet) forever in my heart The flame that burns the brightest, burns the fastest and leaves the biggest shadow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
