    If I had a dog I would have a fountain for them too, running filtered water doesn't get stagnant in 2 or 3 hours

    My dogs hate city water, with that said nasty puddle or swamp water always seems to taste the best.

    Pups are looking good Horkn. William is really filling out. Amazing how fast they grow.

    I tried to channel my best DaveGunter and had a tennis ball in my hand. Badger loves tennis balls.

    But any of my previous dogs would be bouncing around in excitement if I had a tennis ball - not posing nicely for a picture :doh:. Well, there were two dogs that didn't do toys, so they wouldn't have paid attention at all.

    Apparently you do better at training your dogs than I ever did :thumbs:

    Scuzz (former neighbor cat I adopted in Nov. 2014 when they separated & moved away in Jan 2015) had been lonely since his little old buddy Fuzzball died April 2016 aged 20 yrs 5 months. Have been thinking about getting a roommate for him for past month or so.

    Been watching the main local shelter here both online every few days & once a week they also showcase a few cats/dogs available on a local noon TV news broadcast.

    Decided on Pablo - went over there & met him Wed. 7/20,brought him home Sunday morning 7/24.Friendly little guy,he's about average size,will fill out more in a year or so.About half the weight of big mellow Scuzz :D 4 year old domestic shorthair,neutered/front declawed.Normally I wouldn't want a declawed cat,but since Scuzz was already neutered/front declawed by a previous owner I wanted them to be equal if there was any ''disagreements'' ;)

    Was advised to keep them somewhat apart & introduce them gradually after a week or so.Even with a big house/main floor/finished basement I thought that would be difficult & not fair to them. So a couple hours after bringing them home I opened basement door & let the new guy come up.At first he ''tried'' to be an alpha male,hissed at Scuzz a couple times but Scuzz just ignored him :rofl: :lol: End of first day there was no problem other than the expected hissing or occasional swatting by the new guy.

    Fast forward 2-3 days & they're getting along fine,sometimes too good,they bonded pretty quickly.:yes:Pablo really likes his new permanent home & roommate,no anxiety about being around the hundreds of other cats/dogs at the shelter plus having to be moved back/forth when he was ''on loan'' & sent out on a shelter getaway/temp foster home for a few days....

    At least once a day for 10 minutes they go nuts,chasing each other around the main floor,up & across the furniture back & forth,occasionally getting a bit rough,but they never get too aggressive. ;)Take turns sleeping in different windows/chairs/sofas. If Scuzz leaves the main floor for a few minutes,Pablo goes looking for him.

    I love black cats - have had 5 that I remember off the bat. Glad those two are getting along and bonding so quickly. It is tough to tell if you have picked a good match for your existing buddy until you get them home and let the tensions settle. Sounds like you did a terrific job!

    It is funny to watch a cat who is trying to be bossy and the other cat just studiously ignores them as if the other one is beneath their notice. I've had two like that - Shadow (a black feline, passed at age 15 summer of 2013) and my current Fuzzy (who was a feral Tom for at least 5 years). Fuzzy will only react if cornered and attacked (then he's all business and ends things right quick); Shadow never had to show his superiority - apparently all dogs and cats could just tell and treated him respectfully. He was also the peacekeeper - stepping between spats before they got out of hand.
