So, the puppies got to spend the 4th at foster grandma and grandpa's house. While there they visited with Betty, the 18 year old golden retriever that rules the roost. When they first arrived, they were hesitant but willing to come inside. Alice didn't have an issue with Betty and began exploring, although she kept it to one room. Alba, on the other hand did not appreciate Betty and would bark whenever she came around. I continued to explain that they were visiting and Betty did not appreciate the barking. She eventually calmed down, however, she had to be reminded every so often. As the night wore on they both got braver and made it to the food bowl in the kitchen (maybe cause they were hungry!?!?). They were doing so well, that they even had a sleep over. No howling, I think w
e will go back again.As a side note, although the cats never made a true introduction, the puppies never had an issue when they were in eyesight - no barking or chasing. I think that both Alba and Alice will do well if there are other animals in the house, although Alba would probably prefer the smaller variety.
