Xindi Arrives - And Dad Wins Her Heart

We picked Xindi up today. She weathered the drive home okay. 'Q came with and was fine with her in the car, fine with her in the yard, fine in the house. He was fine all the way up until she whined in the crate and that made him nuts. Not sure what the whine said, but he did not like it. Must be like a baby crying. The cats are interesting too. Neffie took the peer around the corner and think about stalking her. She is 1/4 the size of the Neffie and 1/2 the size of Mazie. Mazie is always present but I don't trust her an inch. She won't play. The puppy is tiny compared to her - but one day, the puppy will be bigger. It is just a matter of time.

The first meal together set the pecking order. The puppy fit in - she dropped her food on the floor behind her. Mazie had food on the floor in front of her. They did well with the spillage. She will figure out the routine soon enough. She seems so small next to Mazie. Neffie boycotted dinner.

After dinner playtime then I held her for an hour nap. (I think we'll be awake all night). Then outside. Now comes dad's turn. She struggles to get to his shoulder - he is slightly reclined. And 20 minutes later she is still there. She was so proud of herself - the first picture was when she first was climbing behind his head. THen she just put her head down for the nap. He said it is not too comfortable.


So as I go to post this, she is still napping on his shoulders.
