Big Paws Only Dog Forums

Thanks for all the nice comments. It was fun (and challenging ) to get them all together. I just "inherited" the cat a few months ago so he's not use to my photo shoots The dogs are use to me snapping pictures all the time so they usually cooperate. This was our first photo christmas card so I think I'll do it next year too

LOL. I saw this thread and had to comment...I need some of that fertile water in OHIO! My husband and I have been trying for over a year We started fertility treatments in july so maybe twins are in my future too! That would be so neat (I say that now w/ no children but in my view two better than zero)

All these pics are sweet Here's my Will and Grace and Will w/ our "inherited" cat Mr. Wilson!

My saint Gracie always has red/pink eyes... especially when she is tired- they get more red than usual.

Thanks for your input everyone. I bought a $35 one from Petco and it did fairly well for the party. My Saint knocked it down 2 times. But the laughing and screams from all the woman who have never seen a dog that big was worth it when she bolted down the cellar steps to see everyone! . Whoops.... 

Thank you! This helps out a ton! One more question.. when you say "bounce" do you mean actually jumping on top of it.. trying to get over it? This is what I know she will try to do at first (as well as my 50lb mix. Thank you for replying.

I saw this topic and loved it! I immediately thought of this picture of my mix - Willy. He looks like he is rolling on ground crackin' up! It is by far my favorite picture of him.

Well, thanks everyone for the advice- it was much needed and calmed my nerves a bit. and the introduction went ALOT better than I planned. What I think helped was before we picked Wilson up (cat) I bought him bed, litter box, toys, food etc... and let Will and Grace (dogs) smell it until we picked Wilson up. I think it helped them prepare for the cat b/c they knew something was up. Not one bark from either one of them when they saw Wilson. I was so happy! Their was a hiss/squat or two but if I am petting Wilson or talking to him he just follows me around house and ignores Will and Grace. Will and Grace are a little confused at the cats movements and jumps but that will take time. The cat has the basement all to  itself w/ a couch, t.v., kitty bed... the works. it works out b/c we have a chain lock so the door stays cracked and dogs cant get down there (they try to sqeeze though ) I think they will be best friends once Wilson trusts that Will and Grace wont hurt him- like the previous dog he knew at my sister's who wanted to eat him alive. At one point Will my mix was kissing/licking Mr. Wilson on the ears- it was so cute! My Saint is pretty much scared still but she'll come around  Thanks again for the advice and hopefully I will post pics of Wilson, Will and Grace soon. My Aunt who passed would be so happy that Wilson is happy now and in good care. It is strange b/c the cat reminds me of her so much. It is a bitter sweet situation... Well have a good day everyone, just thought I'd give you an update
