When Gracie first came into our lives, she tormented our poor cats. Though they were polite and reserved around her, the big red shaggy newcomer had no qualms about chasing them with wild abandon, barking at the top of her lungs and gleefully tracking them to whatever hiding place they could find in a hurry.
This dog was a bit of a menace to our poor cats.
But. Times have changed.
Within a few months of her arrival, Gracie dialed her responses back from frantic to playful, and the cats learned to stand up to her. Never once did they scratch or hiss at her, but their feline brains soon computed that if they didn't run away, Gracie didn't chase them.
We achieved d?Tente.
And now, we have this.
Nose kisses.
Between cat and dog.
No more dust-ups between these two supposedly natural enemies. Cats and dog have learned to love one another, and peace reigns in our home.
Oh, what the world could be if we only learned to live like Luna and Gracie.
