Well i thought..its got to be done, the first encounter and what better time when all is chilled...so Bella met the hounds.
She was on my lap and i let them in to see her one at a time...Florrie sniffed, tried to lick and got a hiss-so RAN, and i mean ran and hid behind the sofa-call herself a terrier!!
Ralph...well, he actually wasn't too bad! I was baiting him with hot dogs (cut up) all the time..he had a sniff, got a bit full on and then got what only can be described as as being sworn at in a mix of old coventarian and ancient siam
Bella lept off my lap and chased him..yes, little, fluffy demure eight week old kitten charged and chased at a big burly English Springer Spaniel
But..what adds salt to the wounds, Ralph ran!! And kept coming back in and she did the mowdly swearing thing..
So..its official, the "diva" has arrived-and she's definatley not gonna take no crap.
And there was me worrying about how it would go..
She will have more supervised intercations over coming days..then when i feel confident that all is well she will be allowed to roam as she pleases-with the stairgate at the bottom of the stairs so she has upstairs as a dog free retreat
