Hi all,
I am the proud momma of four felines and one dog. I already had three of my cats when my dog came but my dog was very ill when she came and primarily laid down for the first month. Therefore, my cats did not seem stressed out about her arrival.
I am now considering fostering a dog. He/she would be special needs and/or a senior. I would stick to more mellow dogs. I have fostered in the past but I never fostered dogs, or at least not for more than a couple nights. I have a lot of experience with special needs. My hesitation is that I do not want to stress out my cats.
For those of you who have brought in foster dogs, how did your cats react? Was it stressful? Fighting? I would love to hear about your experiences. Good idea? Bad idea?
