Today is/was the day. My dad has been keeping my mom's dog until she moved somewhere where she could have him. I've been putting it off because I spend more time at my dad's house and I didn't want to be without my doggie. He might literally be my best bud. So I brought him to my mom's new house. It's been interesting. Her new hubby has two male dogs and two cats, one of each gender. I was mostly worried about the cats, but they aren't your typical indoor kind. They have claws and can jump and run and, if Hayden ever gets a hold of one of them, they'll fight back. I'm sure with time he'll come to accept them. The two dogs are just strange. One is a really fat Corgi who was territorial at first, but now seems to know that he is not the top dog. The other is a yippee little Papillon. He barks at Hayden, but then gives up and just leaves. I've had Hay on a lead when he's in the house just in case. If we walk into a room and the Papillon is there, he'll get up and leave. There is a big fenced in back yard for Hayden to roam and he has the whole second level to himself because the cats aren't allowed up there and the dogs are afraid to go up there.
I hope this works out. He is a horribly nervous dog to begin with. I swear he has worse anxiety than I do. And this is the 5000th time we've moved and it always effects him. I don't want him to take over the house and terrorize the other animals, but I want him to feel comfortable and maybe even get along with the other guys. He was able to get along with my grandmother's dog when he lived with her and my sister's cat when he was at my dad's house. I think this can work, but it may take more time that normal because of all the new "roomies."
ETA: Oh yeah, thanks for all the congratulations on the new job. You guys are rad! Big love. <3
