Well it is time....Brady will get the run of the house soon.
He has been in our spare bedroom downstairs for almost a month. My two dogs have been wondering what the heck I do in that room. They do understand that Brady is 'special' to me . He was a semi-feral, and he trusts me.
My two dogs are Zircon and Sophia. Both enjoy cats and see them as playmates if they are in the house. Zircon is sensitive and perceptive. If a cat hisses at him, he just backs off. Sophia is kind of a dummy-wants to be everyone's friend and doesn't understand why a cat would not want to be her friend. A couple of times I let the dogs in so that they could get used to Brady's smell. At first Brady would hide. Now I am leaving the door open just a crack, and Brady hissed at Sophia (which I consider progress).
At this point I think everyone has smelled everybody else, but Brady does not trust the dogs. I understand that, but at some point Brady needs to have the run of the house. Supposedly he likes dogs better than cats, at least that is wht his foster parents said.
