In addition to raising Helper, I have two beautiful purebred British Shorthair cats. Max and Stoli have had the run of the house for almost 10 years and I adore them! You can imagine how the addition of a puppy rocked their world! I had hoped that they would all become great friends but that has not happened. CCI wants the puppies exposed to small animals so that they learn how to behave with other creatures. So far Helper just wants to play with the cats. She will bring them her favorite toys even as they hiss at her. In these pics she is bringing Max her treasured Froggy. In the second picture Max is winding up to punch her in the nose...which must feel like a powder puff since he does not have any front claws!
Notice how long Helper is now...she reaches the breakfast bar. I am going to be more careful what is left on the counter in case she takes up "counter surfing"!
