Dugan now has a playmate!

I kid you not Dugan, that mouse I killed was this big!

Penny, Master gets angry when I get on the counter, maybe you had better get down.

Thanks for combing out my muzzle hairs Penny!

This is how I play dead!

Penny, does your Mother know you play with dogs?

Best Pals.

One inch closer and I'll get you!

Penny sez: I'm not sure which end of this dog smells worse!

Nap time!

Dugan now has a playmate! We have a new kitten at our house, and Dugan is very excited about it. Her name is Penny and we got her from the county’s animal incarceration center for unwanted animals (the Pound).

Dugan is very friendly with other animals. The only problem is he thinks that everyone else (animals and people) must be as happy to see him as he is to see them. Dugan shows that he is happy to make acquaintances with a puppy-like wiggly exuberance. To see a 150 lb dog dance around would frighten any dog-shy individual. It is hard for a cat to warm up to such an introduction, but Penny has made a friend of Dugan in less than 2 weeks.

Penny weighs only 4 lbs, and it is really something to see her fearlessly face up to Dugan when he starts to play a little too rough. Penny is very affectionate, she likes to be petted. When she starts to purr, it sounds like she has a little motor running inside of her. We are glad to see a warm friendship forming between Dugan the Dog and Penny the Meower!
