I forwarded the link for this thread to my brother, owner of Lady - an almost year old? not sure Lab mix. She is much loved, but still a puppy, much to the cats' dismay! This is also his wife's first experience owning a dog, too! He wrote:
2 Lab puppies at once? First they need to go to a shrink. Then they need to armor plate everything in their house and their yard. Then we should invite them to come visit lady....If that doesn't convince them of the folly of their ways, they're on their own. VBG
