I am writing this as a series of posts about my experiences integrating furry 4 legged kids into a blended family - similar to those of humans. It is reality based and I hope it will bring a smile or perhaps a laugh from my readers. It's a great place for me to share the joys as well as the challenges I have encountered.

Friends or Foes
Janet and Maggie had become close friends or so we all thought. They would sleep on the same sofa, run together in the yard, chasing squirrels. They seemed to be inseparable but little did we know there was a deep fire burning between them that would come to a head on a beautiful spring day. The morning routine was being followed the girls go outside first then Jackson and then everyone gets fed. We heard Maggie screaming I rushed in and found her pinned against the wall by Janet over Maggie's food bowl! It took minutes that seemed like hours prying Maggie out of Janet's jaws. There was no blood but she had bleeding in the muscle tissue. We rushed her to the Vet - the X-rays showed that there were no internal injuries or lasting physical damage but she did have very deep bruising and was emotionally traumatized. PEOPLE say that animals forget but to this day Maggie still walks around Janet, jumps up somewhere high when Janet gets excited about something and growls ferociously if Janet comes near her bed and food. Time has not changed those behaviors and things will never be the same again. The one thing that has stayed the same - they both get regularly harassed by Leilani!!
