Now that we've added a dog to our house which included a cat and a turtle, I get asked all the time how everyone is getting along.
Well, the turtle is doing fine, obviously.
The dog, Peggy, is happy as a clam.
The cat? Hmmm.... can you tell?:
I figured it'd be better to show this now, and explain, than for everyone to think that I was doing some sort of self-harm.
How did this particular bit of serious scratch happen? Well, we can partially blame The Hubbeh.
Apparently, Tammy-the cat, had hurt her paw while playing outside and was limping along and having trouble hopping up and down off of her high sitting areas. The hubbeh asked if I could simply help her onto her perch. Ok! I said. Not thinking that Peggy-the dog, follows me like a shadow. Therein lied the problem. As soon as I picked Tammy up, Peggy came running after and I was thrown in between a dog/cat barking/hissing match and the only one who lost was me.
We've now had Peggy for over 4 months and neither dog nor cat is showing any signs of friendship towards the other. They don't hate eachother, but they certainly don't enjoy the other's company. Any suggestions?
BTW, my arm HURTS!
