Ok, so I brought Riley home on Friday and the first meeting with the cat didn't go so well. I was holding Dash and Franny had Riley and Dash freaked out. He'd never seen a dog before. The holes he left in my hand are healing nicely. Riley was ok, though. He just wanted to check out the cat and see what he was all about. But Dash would have none of it. He hid under my parents' bed for a while. I finally got him out and their second meeting was better because i was basically laying on Dash to keep him from running. It's amazing he didn't get crushed. Little by little they eyed each other and had several staring contests

and eventually they were in the same room together and doing ok, but keeping an eye on each other. You can actually see how close they got in this picture. The black part of the bottom of the picture is Riley's behind.
However on Saturday morning, they didn't do so well. They started out just checking each other out and then as far as I could tell it was unprovoked, but Riley snatched Dash up into his mouth, but Dash turned and clawed Riley with his back legs and got away. He then hid under the bed for several hours. Last night they were able once again to co exist in the same room, but Riley would not take his eyes off of Dash.

You all could save money on cable and just watch the animals for entertainment.
I find it very entertaining, and i could tell lots of stories already, but no one else would be quite as amused as me :D. Much better than cable...!
