This may not be a big deal to you but for the drama was great.  We’d been out a few times today but the puppy (Charlie) was still suffering from a very sensitive bladder and seemed to pee every time a strange dog passed by our window.  So even though it wasn’t time for a walk I took the puppy out to the backyard.  Sure enough, the cat who always greets us when we come home, and joins us at home for dinner, was there and was happy to inform the puppy that cats do not play around.   At that moment Ezi came home and took Charlie around the block while the Cat (PC) came home with me for dinner.   Unfortunately, PC was slower to chew than usual and an overlap threatened.  I was forced to take PC’s remaining dinner outside while Charlie came home.   It will be a great relief when Charlie’s rightful parents pick him up tonight.  He’s a great puppy but we have not created a suitable environment.
