I'm taking the long distance out of my long distance relationship in a few weeks. I'm a cat person, have been since I was the equivalent of a kitten; my boyfriend, on the other hand, is a dog person.
Now, I'm not entirely clueless about dogs. I lived with my aunt and uncle for two years when I was a teenager, on their farm which had both cats and dogs. And sheep. I'm good with animals in general.
Although BF's dog (a dachshund) generally doesn't like anybody, the dog and I get along just fine. (Maybe it's the treats. I don't care, it works.) In fact, my lap got curled up in when I visited over spring break. Twice.
However...both of my cats have skitty-kitty tendencies, and neither of them has been around dogs since I took them off the farm. I'm sure we'll eventually need to introduce the animals to each other. How does one do this without anyone (including the humans) getting bitten?
