Friends? at last!

Grandpup 'Chance' the Regal Dane has lived with us for just over a year, while long time cat and family member 'Adagio' has been around for 12 years or so.

Adagio basically owned the place. He walked around the house anywhere he pleased - the refrigerator, washer, dryer, top of the sofa, between the legs... Then one day literally out of the blue (on an airplane from the Hawaiian island of Oahu) Grandpup Chance arrived. Yikes! What a 150 pound shock to our 9 pound fuzzball, Adagio!

Their first encounter sounded something like the attack of the Venetian wildcats on the massive Martian horse-dogs; and the result was a trip to the minor medical clinic for me! Adagio had lost his freedom. He could not accept this huge noisy, shinning, black monster who had moved into his territory.

Then, one year and 2 months later, as Jenn and I sat at the dining room table and Chance sat on the kitchen floor drooling over our eats, Adagio nonchalantly walked up to Chance and gave him a kiss on the face. As Chance drool swiped across Adagio's face, Adagio continued to be overly affectionate toward Chance. Can this be? Has Adagio forgiven Chance for moving into his home?

Only time will tell...
