Hi all,
My other half and I, having lost our darling Pickle far too young a couple of months ago, are thinking about getting a kitten to succeed (never replace!) him, as well as a puppy - until my partner met Pickle, he was always a dog person!
I want a tom cat, and my partner wants a Retriever / Labrador (actually he wants a St Bernard / Newfoundland, but I have told him that is a 'no' until we get a bigger house!). Has anybody brought up a kitten and a puppy together, is there any advice you can offer please?
This is just information gathering at the moment - we cannot act on any of this until my partner's Westie, who lives with his Gran and is 16 and a half, crosses the bridge - she needs stability and security as she is deaf, has cataracts and cannot support herself on her back legs all the time any more - so a kitten and a puppy would not be good for her - she comes to stay with us quite often as his Gran is 84 and finding it hard to cope with an old, incontinent dog!
Many thanks for any advice :-)
