Brian was not quite as comfortable as me when we first got Bailey. He hadn't had a cat since college and hadn't had a dog in I don't know how long.

Eventually he warmed up to her, would cuddle with her and talk baby talk to her when he thought I wasn't listening.

When we got Guinness, he totally took it to the next level. He and Guinness have bonded so much. I think it's partly due to the fact that Bailey is so stubborn and intelligent and loud sometimes, whereas Guinness is so quiet and intelligent and well behaved. Brian always has a spot on his lap for Guinness, is VERY protective of Guinness, and is now almost as quick as I am to call the vet for the least little thing.

He still cuddles with them both, although mostly with Guinness. And he still lets Bailey lick the back of his head. She'll start licking, he'll yell out "Hey!", but then he lets her do it cause it makes her happy. If he was really that grossed out, he'd move.

Actually, we are thinking that after we move into the new house on Friday, we might get a 3rd dog.
