Dog

We have a dog.

He’s a one year old Collie/Shepherd/Husky mix. He’s mostly German Shepherd brown, with a Collie’s white front paws and chest/belly, and a Husky’s curly tail. He’s a very good looking dog (pictures soon).

He’s house-trained, quite calm in the house, and knows how to “sit” and “stay”. We’re slowly and gradually working on peaceful coexistence with the cats. He doesn’t really know what cats are, and seems to feel they are some strange kind of little dog that doesn’t want to play with him – which confuses him terribly. The cats know what he is (big and strange-smelling) and hide or hiss or both. But both are getting better at tolerating each other (we’ve had him for just over 24 hours) so we’re quite confident that it will work out. For now, though, we’re being vigilant and the dog is never unsupervised.

After a huge (really, really huge) amount of deliberation, we’ve named him Carter.
