She's doing really well. The digestive issues seem to be under control, and housebreaking has been a non issue for a month or so. Regarding the cat, sometimes she just ignores him, and other times she chases him. I don't know if she would actually hurt him, since I have never heard her growl or exhibit aggressive behavior towards anyone, but I don't want to take a chance. It's tough, because our cat and other dog are genuine friends, and the cat wants to make friends with her too.

Yeah that’s tough. Do you keep them apart?

No, we just watch them. When we leave or got to bed both dogs sleep in crates, so the cat has the run of the house all night. Mouse patrol!

Makes sense. At least they get some exposure to each other. I am sure eventually you will feel comfortable to leave them unwatched together.

I hope so. The cat has all his claws. When I think of a cat v. dog fight, I always envision a boxing match against a lanky guy with really fast hands. I've seen a cat really go to town on a dog's face before the dog knew what was going on. Cats are not defenseless. I would hate for anything like that to happen, of course, so we'll stay vigilant.
