To the vet's...

[wojelah]

... and back again - and the meeting of the dogs was an unqualified success! This dog is such a sweetheart - super friendly, very gentle, and looks like a purebred, tenth generation mutt. She and Molly tore around the vet's yard for a good half-hour, shared a waterbowl without trouble, and were generally content just hanging together. Everything looks good so far - she's going to come home with me weekend after this one for a "trial run"!

ETA: Molly tied for top of the class in obedience. Clearly, if she had opposable thumbs, she'd rule earth. Her second in command would be her current BFF, the border collie-Australian Shepherd mix.

Exactly. If you're the alpha, they'll be okay.

In our house, Spoose and I share the alpha. Do not tell this to Zach, however, as he believes that he is Supreme of all cats, dogs and humans.

Heh. The first time I read this, I saw "Do not tell this to Spoose...." - which is not quite the same thing.

And I have wondered - how does one establish alphahood over a cat?
