We just spent the weekend with our cat and Daughter's dog in the house. Not good! The cat was just fine, he gets along with anyone/anything. But the dog gets along with no one. She is not allowed in Doggie Park because she picks fights with the other dogs. So one or the other had to be outside. (The dog was just itching to go chase those cows across the road, so she had to be firmly tethered.) When we wanted both of them to be inside, one had to go to jail. The dog's jail was Daughter's bedroom or the cat was locked into the laundry room.
