cat vs. dog update

progress tonight...both cuddled up with me on the sofa tonight..Jack the cat on one side, Ruby the dog on the other..warm and snuggly and eyeing each other suspiciously over my lap. (which is by the way, not entirely as flat as i would like it to be before i return to Savannah to attend a wedding in less than two weeks time. where did that 'Abs 'n Buns' video go to? oh right, i've never had one.) both have also discovered fun new games. Ruby: pick the cat's doo out of the litterbox and bat it around the living room floor til Ma realizes it's not a chew toy and indeed the source of the stink. Jack: jump up on anything higher than the dog and bat objects off the surface in her general direction, including the Strangers' eyeglasses, cigarettes and wine glass.
