Before Christmas we kept my in-laws' dog for about 4 days. As you would guess, Matthew was thrilled; I am not even sure if thrilled is a satisfactory word. Matt and Sissy are pretty much best friends when they are together.
In case you did not know, we also have an ancient cat named Rascal. She pretty much stays to herself. Rascal and Sissy are not best friends. However, Sissy would love to be her playmate but as you can imagine, Rascal, in typical cat fashion, wants nothing to do with her (or us for that matter).
At one point during Sissy's stay it was a total circus. Sissy was chasing the cat, Matt was chasing Sissy screaming and laughing, and I was chasing all three trying to break it up. This was inside of the house. I think we made about three laps around the "loop" before Rascal got some sense and ran into our room and hid under the bed.
Sissy also spent a great deal of time sniffing around the house for Rascal and when she had the chance, sniffing her butt. Very classy. I also went through three pairs of shoes outside if you get my drift.
The whole stay ended with Rascal scratching Sissy on the nose about 30 minutes before she left to go home. I am not sure Sissy ever got the hint.
With all this said, we enjoyed her immensely. It kind of makes me want a dog. A small dog that does not bark, poops outside in one place, and does not sniff my cat's butt.
This is typical Sissy. She thinks she is a person and always needs covers. In the next picture, you will see Rascal on the couch taking a bath. Look at Sissy. Shocker.

Looks like the dog's (sorry cissy) days of winter instead of summer. I also think Matt needs a dog, just look at those happy eyes.
