My daughter found this stray kitten after school, a little ugly but we gave it a bath, but the kitten likes to bite.

Ummm, well, good luck with that.

How's the kitty getting along with the dog?

 

[Road Guy]

Doing good, but when the dog gets close the cat just plays dead

Happy birthday to Annie and Ursala!  My girls turn 6 today.

Our dog Sadie vs. Car...............tie.  Was an interesting and nerve-wracking day but the short story is she survived. On a specific R&R regiment for the next 2 weeks or so.

Glad the pup's ok.

I'm sure she can intercept some serious signals with that new satellite she's sporting. 

 

[Supe]

Glad she's OK!

glad she is ok and hope the wallet isn't too empty!

Glad Sadie is OK.  Hopefully, you won't have to pay for damages to the car, too...

Good to hear that the pups alright. The driver shoulda been paying attention, or were they driving a Tesla in self drive?

someone help me (with facts, past experiences, etc) with some talking points, I am trying to  talk the wife and daughter out of getting this Alaskan Malamute!  The wifes Aunt in Houston ( wtf why would you own any dog with the name "Alaskan" in Houston) adopted this dog and they claim its "perfect" but they are moving to a condo and don't feel that's fair for the dog))  Probably true..They are offering to deliver and pay for a years food,  vet bills, etc??

Same old story, the 15 year old daughter promises to take care of it.

 Cute & I would love to have one of these, but right now I already have a dog, actually I have a 10 year old border collie, one of the best on the planet. and this means double the boarding if we want to go somewhere

The border collie will bark if she needs to go out to "potty" In all reality I think she would burst her bladder before she would have an "accident"  hard to start over again with that..

 

[snickerd3]

how does the current dog get along with others?

 

[Road Guy]

she does okay with dogs she knows (like the neighbors dogs) but she doesn't care for the other dogs if she is on a walk.

 

[snickerd3]

@Dleg was thinking about getting one of those...

 

[Supe]

Malamute?

1) Huge

2) Huge food bills

3) Need a lot of exercise

4) Escape artists

5) Can be aggressive towards smaller animals

6) Hair f'ing EVERYWHERE

Looks like a husky.  Are they the same?  There's always the chance your border will not like sharing the family attention and his house with a new dog.  I think you never really know until they live with each other for a bit.  The other dog is "adopted" from where?  it disposition could be unstable.  Huskies that I've encountered weren't of the best temperment.  Conversely, they could end up as the best of friends and get their exercise just playing with each other (if you can stand all the rough-housing indoors.

It is a good -looking dog.

Edit:  I realize that this post doesn't help you at all..  Good luck.
