Cat Run! Dog Chase!

So, yesterday Bobby (as seen in the pic on the right) the dog came over. He is staying with us for 2 weeks!
He is a beagle but perhaps a mix breed as he is pretty big for a beagle.

Bobby is pretty quiet. He usually only barks if someone comes to the door.

And he looks thrilled to have his picture taken, lol...
Bob the cat has never had a issue with Bobby the dog. Bobby the dog doesn't really bother with Bob the cat. They hang in the same room and walk along side each other...but Bob the cat was introduced to dogs at a young age. That helps.
Meanwhile here are Taters and Speckle hiding in fear under my bed. They have been hanging out here most of the time since yesterday.

Speckle was in the living room and Bobby came in. She started running. So Bobby chased her. She didn't understand that he wouldn't have bothered with her if she had just casually walked by. Bobby just wanted to sniff her as Speckle would do to him is she wasn't such a scaredy-cat!

Bobby doesn't mind cats but still, poor Taters and Speckle! We do cordon off the 2nd floor so that the cats an come downstairs but Bobby can't come up. We aren't trying to force them on each other. But I am hoping Speckle will get over her intense fear of dogs and make a new friend. Bobby just lives next door! That would be sweet but ya know....

For now though Bob the cat is allowed out but Speckle and Tate are not. We can't have Speckle and Tate going out and running away :-(.
