One cute little puppy. One cranky old cat. Puppy loves everyone. Cat hates puppy. Puppy wants to play. Cat doesn't. Puppy approaches cat. Cat hisses, claws, spits at puppy. Puppy runs away. What a fun game!. Cat dozes in a sunny patch. Puppy creeps up. Cat doesn't notice. Puppy licks back of cat's neck. Cat leaps 2 foot into air, spits, hisses, yowls, attempts to disembowel puppy. Puppy runs away. What a fun game!. Cute little puppy grows into Shetland pony. Still wants to play hiss and run game. Parents are concerned about the furniture.
Welcome to my household.

Is it wrong for me to confess that I'm sooooo glad this is happening to YOU and not to ME? ~

Great fun, cattleman. Pets gladden the heart. Daughter & family are getting a mastiff puppy next week, I think.
