Thank you so much for the great advice all! I made it through the first night. Actually, she did so well. She cried for only a little while in her crate, then she went to sleep and slept through the entire night! Aaron and I slept in sleeping bags next to the kitchen, because we both didn't know what to expect. I took her out this morning and she made her pee pee's and poopies! I was so proud of her! LOL

I can't believe how exceptionally well my 3 kitty babies are doing about this new addition. Actually, the new pup is the one having issues. She sees the cats and starts barking at them. In the shelter she was scared, but she had no reaction to the cats there, but now she's barking at them and seems to want to go after them. I hope I wasn't wrong about her prey drive. She was probably scared in the shelter, so when we tested her on Bob, she just looked at him and that was about it.
Her tail is wagging, but the barking and lunging on the leash is no good. What should I do about training her to accept the cats! LOL I thought it would be me training the cats to accept the dog, but it seems it's the other way around

When we came in with her for the first time yesterday, Marius was right at the door being really curious. The little pupster just started barking and went behind my legs, but continued to bark. Marius just kept looking at her probably thinking, why is this cat barking at me?

Any tips in the arena? I sure hope she can get along with the cats!!

As far as names, I'm still not sure. I have a list of some that I have been thinking about:

Mishka
Kali
Miaya
Matoki
Kashka
Roxy
Lakshmi
