It's been almost a month, since we rescued Gracie, and brought her home from Flagstaff. The first few days around the Chance household, with a new cat, were rather interesting, to put it mildly. Sami, our 12 year old Beagle, had become accustomed to being the only 4 legged child, since we lost our last cat of 18 years. That was about 2 years ago, and even though Sami was raised from a puppy with a cat, she still has the hound instinct of chasing smaller critters, especially cats. With Gracie new in the house, she spent quite a bit of time under our bed, which was a safe haven from Sami. Gradually, the two started to adjust to each other, and now, except for a few hisses, and a strong left hook (paw), they are now very tolerant of one another. Gracie, is into everything, as the pictures show. We think she is about a year and a half old, but the kitten in her is still very much alive, and her antics are sometimes hysterical. Our two 4 legged kids are doing well with each other, and the entertainment factor has gone up several levels with Gracie in the house. The weather has been typical, winter, low desert, with daytime temps around 70, and the lows in the mid 40's. We're looking forward to seeing many of our friends in a few days, down in Quartzsite.
