Hi all!! I guess this ought to be in the Behaviour forum, but I think more people will be able to help me out here as there is a bit more traffic!!
Anyhoooo... as some of you know... we are moving soon (when our offere ever gets accepted!!! hahah) BUT we have both wanted a dog for a long time now..... we have been doing some research and have decided on an "Old English Sheep Dog" .... but the question is.... do we buy the dog th same time we move so its just another thing for the cats to get used to - like part of the house... OR... do we let the cats settle in first and THEN get the dog? I was thinking let them settle first, but then I don't want to go upsetting them when they've just settled in ya know?!?! Any suggestions as to how to handle this? Im ok with the eventual introductions... (god help us
hahaha) but its just the timing Im wondering about... Anyone?
(PS.... how do you like the name Rolo?!!! - as in the sweets?!?!?!)
