Quick update from me! I picked Woody up this afternoon, and meeting Karen was fantastic! Got to meet Ms. Logan, although she wasn't too thrilled, lol. I think she just wanted the puppster gone
John helped me get the crate in the back of my car, but on the way home I ended up stopping and moving Woody up front because he was not happy being relegated to the back seat. He calmed down after a bit and it was a quiet ride home.
Gotta say that the immediate introduction Woody got was to Zachariah, because Zach was waiting at the door for me (as usual). Zach is a chubber of a cat, but man, seeing him all puffed up was a treat! He's one big boy when he does the Halloween pose!
Woody has met a bunch of the cats, got smacked by Zach twice (meanie cat!), but I think the most amazing intro was with Calloway. I was so worried about how Calloway would respond, and I wish I had my camera, but right now, Woody is lying next to me on the sofa, and Calloway is on the top back of the sofa, right behind me and Woody! I thought for sure Cal would freak out or be super scared, but he's not. Woody sniffed at him, and Cal didn't even hiss!!Fluff hissed at him too, but he ran to the back room on the 2nd floor and has been relaxing there.
Furbee is sleeping on the kitchen countertop, Finae is on top the entertainment unit at the moment, Boris is on top of the fridge (she's ALWAYS there, so nothing unusual), and Jorgie is sleeping on the ottoman watching the pup! I can't believe they are really this calm! I'm sure they are not pleased, but they are definitely acting a whole lot better than I had expected!Sophie and Honeybun are in hiding here somewhere, lol.
Woody did get a bath as soon as we got home. I bought some puppy shampoo with jojoba oil and stuff in it, and he seems to be scratching less. I think his skin was really dry. He whined while being washed, but behaved a whole lot better than the cats would have! I dried him off with the diffuser attachment on my hairdryer on a low setting, and he tolerated that as well.
We've gone for 2 walks so far. He's done really really well. Although the second walk I forgot a baggie, and he pooped on the sidewalk!
He's been playing with his toys, and I have to say, I bought almost every puppy teething toy I could find at PetSmart. He's liking the puppy kong with the teething chewy you insert into it. He's been gnawing on that for a bit. He's also been stealing the CATNIP toys!! Not sure if he smells the catnip or not, but those are the ones he's grabbing, along with the ones that jingle or rattle. I've been grabbing the smaller ones and putting them out of reach.
Wow! It's only 5:30, and it's been a busy afternoon! I'll update more later, and get pics when I can. Sleepy puppy next to me at the moment, so going to enjoy this!!
Again, thank you so much to everyone that made this possible!!
