I am new to this whole dog owner business, but I am trying to embrace it. My two cats are also trying to accept that our household mix has changed. Large cat has realised that he can still be boss and is now confidently wandering around the house, hissing at the dog if required, but mainly just continuing with his normal routine.
Small cat is dealing with the change by hiding in the closet.
Yesterday, Flynn, Chad and I went to a pet store to buy Flynn some toys. It is a pet store where pets are welcome to come in with you, so as a proud new dog owner, I took Flynn on the leash and we wandered around looking at toys. At one point, I was kneeling in front of a display, holding firmly on to Flynn's lead and looking at labels on doggy shampoo. Then a store assistant asked if that was my dog, pointing towards the back of the shop.
I was pretty sure it wasn't, cause I was holding on to my dog. At least I thought I was. Turns out I was holding tightly onto my handbag. And having realised he was with a novice dog owner, who had inadvertently sent him free, Flynn had wandered off to explore.
Sigh.
At least my handbag was safe.
