The cats have free range and 99% of the time everyone gets along.<br /><br />I learned the hard way years ago that more than one JRT is a pack so unless I am in hearing range of the dogs they are crated. Even if I am just outside hanging out the laundry, or taking a shower, they are crated, in separate crates. They are used to it and enjoy their 'get in your house' treats.<br /><br />The routine is so set I don't even notice but a recent guest was amazed how often the dogs get in their house and get let out again a few minutes later.<br /><br />I know she thought I was exaggerating the dangers of pack mentality but we haven't had any feline tragedies since starting the routine.Henriettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00980100650453154588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978266441948634046.post-27952518317013964282011-01-04T00:03:10.284-06:002011-01-04T00:03:10.284-06:00Thankyou Kady, for sharing this beautiful story. ...Thankyou Kady, for sharing this beautiful story. Mandy is a very lucky dog indeed to have people like you take her in. I have 2 dogs, one is a rescue, her owner died and she was being cared for by a family member. She is a bit of a 'ninkenpoop' and a bit eccentric & anxious too, but I love her to bits, she has been with me for 4 years in fact on the 29th Dec. just gone. My own dog accepted her very well, she was terrified when I first brought her home hiding behind the sofa, now she is just a love-pie, with me anyway and very protective. Both my dogs are Schipperkes....Merilyn (Australia)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7978266441948634046.post-11482027283560842452011-01-03T23:09:26.883-06:002011-01-03T23:09:26.883-06:00It filled my Heart with Joy to read about your dog...It filled my Heart with Joy to read about your dog Mandy..I know if I won the Lottery or came into big bucks another way I would definately be bringing home every dog (and cats too) and giving them all a forever home filled with love. We have 4 dogs and 3 cats and I don't know what I would do without them. I learned a lesson about labs (the hard way) but I still love them very much. I do blog about my dogs often so if you want to know more about my 4 best friends take a peek at my blog..a lot of stories in my older posts too.<br />I am now a follower and will have you on my side bar so I can watch for new posts from you :)nancy hugginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16048620969205596927noreply@blogger.com
