Thanks to all who commented.

About Mr. Luke being tolerant, yes, most of the time he is. However, one day last week I was in the kitchen away from them and heard Sissy Pom yelping as if in pain. I had an idea that once again Sissy was giving Luke too much attention. When I walked in the den, I saw a ball of cat and puppy; this happened once before but it was longer this time. I yelled (as before) and they broke it off... and still that little Sissy puppy would not leave him alone. Sometimes she's a slow learner LOL. Luke was MAD and I had to keep them separated awhile until Luke cooled down.

Sometimes I'll be sitting on the couch and I'll hear feet running toward me. It's Sissy with Luke cat right behind her... mad ... but Sissy thinks he is playing. He's NOT! All in all, Luke does good with her. Once in awhile, Sissy gets him so mad that I have to block the doorway and keep them apart because Luke could really hurt her if he got mad enough to do so. Keep in mind LilGirl is usually on the couch watching all this interaction; she's so GOOD and no trouble at all. I bet she thinks they're both crazy LOL. There's no way on earth LilGirl would "play" with Luke.

I brush Luke maybe once every two weeks; he doesnt like it very much. His coat stays in pretty good shape without many tangles and such.

Guess that's it for now. It's expected to be 94 here today and even hotter tomorrow. Hope everybody can stay cool this summer.... Kay in central NC
