Get out of bed right about the time the sky starts to lighten at sunrise. Right now, this is some time between 6 and 7am.
Take the dogs outside to do their 'business'. Push the button on the Keurig on my way out the door, so my coffee will be waiting for me in the cup when I come inside.
Prepare food for the dogs and cats ... dogs first. During this part of the process, the cats are milling round the kitchen impatiently waiting, because they know that I put their saucers of food down as soon as the dogs get theirs.
The lure of stinky cat food was too much to resist for Dorothy, even with that DOG on the other side of the kitchen.
Winnie has been here for five days, and today was the first morning that the routine was even close to normal. Until now, Maggie was the only cat who came into the kitchen for her food. Alice hovered outside the kitchen in the dining room, and Dorothy was nowhere to be found. This morning, everyone was in their usual places ... though Dorothy did keep a close eye on Winnie while she was eating.
I am really happy with how well Ms. Winnie is fitting in!
Have a great Sunday, Everyone!!
They manage to find their own place in the hierarchy sooner or later. :)
ReplyDeleteDorothy came around so quickly! It took my cat about a month when I got Barbie. Of course now he loves her. My routine is just about exactly the same. But with less animals. Enjoy your Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThat was a very quick adjustment. And OMG she really is tiny.
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteI was very busy the last few weeks and had missed the Chihuahua story.
ReplyDeleteI was very surprised you got such a tiny dressed dog, but after reading I can understand very well. I am not of tiny dogs and certainly hates to see animals with clothes, but in this case it is really necessary. As I love all kinds of animals I am very sure I should have taken here home as well, the poor thing. Hope Dorothy will accept her soon cats can be very mistrustful, but I suppose they will get on together, this old dog is so tiny and may be not so fast any more. Wish you lots of success and pleasure with all your animals.
That's good news!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good feeling when you start to see it come together, and I am not surprised at all Ms.Winnie is figuring it all out!
ReplyDeleteOnly five days, that's pretty darn good!
ReplyDeleteThis morning gave you a Sunday smile. And, it gave me a smile this Monday morning.
ReplyDeleteProgress! That sounds great! Hoping things continue in a positive way.
ReplyDeleteSo in love with her tube sock coat. XOX
ReplyDeleteExcellent news! Maybe the cats realized that Ms Winnie needs a loving home too.
ReplyDeleteHi Connie, I'm so glad it's working out so far. It's so stressful when it doesn't! That Winnie is adorable.
