The boys were playing under the door this morning. Rizzo, who up until yesterday wouldn’t get within a couple of feet of the door (but kept staring at it like it was going to do something) actually instigated it. He stuck his big pawsie under the door and kept it there for a while. Barli, of course, eventually touched it. Rizz leapt back a couple of feet, then crept forward and did it again. Reach, smack, jump. Reach, smack, jump. After a couple of rounds of this, Rizzo settled down with his nose practically under the door, and just watched. Barliman, who is much less cautious and perfectly ready to make friends as soon as Rizzo is willing, flailed a paw around under the door frantically, trying to play some more. But mean ol’ Rizzo left him hanging.

Now, somebody tell me this is a good sign! I’m very insecure about this whole introduction thing.
