Part of it is they wouldn't get along. Bear and Pooky would probably be ok with a dog. Jack is the problem child. When he was still an outside stray he would hide if he even saw a dog walking all the way down the street. I once had been given an unpainted cement statue of a schnauser (sp?) and Jack would no longer go on leash walks in the back yard. When I tried to show him it was cement he would arch up, puff up his fur, growl and hiss. I finally had to get rid of the statue so he would go for walks again. lol

The other part is I have just enough room in the house for me, hubby and the kitties. There simply isn't room for a large dog, and I'd rather any dog I get be a house dog, not an outside dog.
