Stuff I've read about introducing a new dog to a household said to keep them apart until they exhibit no aggressive behavior and that this process could take a month or two. If you can live with them separated this might be the best thing for everyone.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

How does a non-resident deal?
You can still take the freeway and have to deal with the traffic. They just have a tollway instead of HOV lanes.

I was talking to a guy recently who was telling me that he has two dogs that his daughter asked them to foster for a while - and became permanent, naturally, like three years back. Which, okay, whatever. (His daughter's a vet - she wasn't foisting her own animals, fwiw.) But then he said that the dogs don't get along - have to be kept separate all the time, even walked separately. I can't imagine living like that.

Heh, well pet owners are an interesting bunch. My brother and his wife are now up to 5 cats (they were up to 6 until very recently), and have at various points had to deal with extended feuds going on between them (which started between a brother and sister from the same litter who already been raised and together in the same house for years at this point).
During the worst of it, my brother literally set up screen doors INSIDE the house to keep them apart when no one was home.
They've also built a wire cage at the back of the house with a cat window so the cats can spend outdoor time.

ION this pizza burrito I'm trying to eat is wrong like a wrong thing.
Also cat and dog who didn't get along at first were just happily chasing each other around the house.

This, I can understand. I'm contemplating a way to chicken-wire my balcony so the cats can sit there without going walkabout on the neighbors' eaves and balconies.
