Furry Friends...

We have adopted a new pet... her name is Phyllis... shortened to "Phil" or "Philly". This works out great since she was rescued in Philly by the SPCA. Originally, we thought we would call her Alice but that just didn't seem to work for her. She is a really sweet dog (or puppy??? the vet said she is approximately 1 year old).
Sam is behaving in her usual "cautious" manner spending most of the last four days under our bed upstairs. We caught her in "sneak approach" trying to get a peek at the new furry resident.
Harri is much braver most of the time and even marched right up to Phil in the yard. Much to her surprise, Phil reacted like a real dog and started the chase! We have to work on proper introductions but have been advised to let them gradually get used to each other from a distance... behind gates and doors for the present time.

Phyllis is a beautiful girl -- Zach will be super excited to see her and play (so will Kevin). I love her ears and love that you've rescued her. Such a nice story. The kitties will come around soon enough. I'm sure they secretly love the excitement!
