I've been considering getting a dog but I'm worried about how my cats will take it. None of them have experience around dogs (except for the 10 days we lived with my parents and their dog when my apartment flooded a few years ago). Does anyone have any suggestions to make an introduction go smoothly? I'm hoping to have my sister bring over her calmer dog to see how my cats take to being around one before I actually decide to go forward with an adoption. I will definitely not be adopting a small dog though because in the immortal words of Ron Swanson, "Any dog under fifty pounds is a cat and cats are pointless." Although I disagree with cats being pointless.
