In Oct. of 2006, I rescued a 3-month old kitten from the OC Animal Shelter
that I named Boo. He was one of three brothers who were brought in as strays.
I though he would be company for my older cat, Wink, who is 6-years old, but
when I brought him home she wasn't at all receptive to him! She still is not
fond of him, probably because he chases her! So, in hopes of balancing out
the family, 2 months ago I adopted from the OC shelter again—Bella, a 6-year
old female Chihuahua. It took a couple of months for her to get adjusted, but
she is now the perfect dog! I prayed to find a dog that didn't bark much (because
I live in an apartment) and one that would get along with my 2 cats. I was blessed
because Bella hasn't barked, not once, since I brought her home and she also ignores
the cats, even when Boo is messing with her! I think she may have been abused because
she is very timid and is just starting to come to me when I call her. I'm taking
it slow, but I'm sure that she will learn to trust me. Here is a picture of Boo
and Bella. Thanks for all the great work you do there.
