Last night Nico met the cats. I knew he had never met cats which is better than having a bad history with them. Anyway Tia taught him a few manners, including "the fire place is all mine!" Valuable lessons learnt I think. Jamie was naughty and hid under the throws pouncing as he went past then rolling on his back ... almost like a kid pulling tongues! Though the other cats treat him as just "another one of those things" Riley is a little spooked at the new smells and sounds.
Last night I had the strangest experience, one which brought me to tears. Whilst in the kitchen Nico stoped and stared at Kai's painting. It wasn't a glance, he stared for about 10 seconds. Gave me the shivers. He did a similar thing with the one of Mikey in the living room, but for only a few seconds. Such a strange thing to do, and one that made me really think.
We've only been out in the field today for excersise, he seemed to love to run, I was worried about his breaks though, came too close a few times! lol
After only 24hrs I agree with his breeder, this a wonderful, happy dog who may not have had the respect, love and care he deserved whilst abroad!!
