we've had the dog for about 12 hours now. i tried for dogface, but my wife and mom both talked me out of it. they liked my original idea, clara. i did call her tinker a few times by accident, because she looks like my parent's cat who is also named tinker.
she is fearless towards our cats. she tries to lure one of them into playing, but the cats don't play like dogs do. the other cats are mean to her, but she is unintimidated.
our dog liked her at first, but then he realized we are going to keep her. he is inconsolable right now. he came prancing out from the bedroom twice tonight, saw the new pup, stopped dead, and turned around. he even growled and barked at her, although it is clear he knows not to harm or harass the new pup. our reassurances are of no help to him, he is beside himself with "do not want".
pics to follow soon, all pics are on our phones right now.
