Conspirators
We ain't afraid of no dogs!
Well, Neville isn't, anyway. Betty is very comfortable around the dogs too, but in a different way. Neville is casual at times, but enjoys giving both of the dogs a good whack on the nose when he's in the mood. They are not allowed to get too close to him! Betty, on the other hand, is completely indifferent. The dogs can go tearing right past her in the hallway or on the stairs, and she barely glances at them. Oliver like to run up to her, tail wagging, and give her a good sniff. It doesn't phase her in the least.
Mrs. O'Hara is not so very fond of the dogs though. She likes to avoid them. She startles very easily, so I'm not surprised. With time I'm hopeful that she'll become as casual about the dogs as Betty is.
These days all three cats are a bit under the weather. Neville arrived here with the tail end of a cat cold, and it came back after a couple of weeks. Then he passed it on to the other two, so all three of them are slinking around the house with one squinty eye each from their colds. They look like a pack of conspirators who are in on a secret that they haven't shared with us... (Wink, wink, wink!)
We started medicating them all this week, and I don't think they're getting any worse. Neville seems to be getting a bit better, so hopefully the other two will do the same.
Keep your fingers crossed.
