When we brought her home, things went as smoothly as we could have hoped. The cats were not sure about her at first, mostly Riley wasn't sure, but he only hissed once or twice and then went to hide under the bed for a bit. Oliver sniffed her and was like, cool, whatever, and went about his business. He's such a laid back cat! Annie, growled a little, but there was no barking or snapping or anything really aggressive, just a little warning that she wasn't sure about them and don't come too close :) After about an hour everyone was pretty calm and just sat on opposite sides of the room, checking each other out, while we watched a show on TV.
Saturday, Matt's cousin, Melissa drove over from Spokane with her dog, Emma, who is Annie's half sister. Also, Matt's Gramma Dotti flew in and is going to spend the week here :) We all hung out at Mark and Elaine's and chatted, catching up. Then, later that evening, Nate came over and we all celebrated Matt's birthday together. We had flank steak, baked potatoes, grilled peppers, Olive Garden salad and garlic bread. Then we had strawberry shortcake for dessert. Boy was it a great dinner! And a great time together, with family, celebrating Matt and just being together.
Today, Sunday, we all had lunch together, super yummy sandwiches that were made with leftover flank steak! Then we all headed over to the park by Mark and Elaine's house with the dogs and Mark's remote controlled airplane and had a great time enjoying the sun and warm weather.
It was a great weekend and we are happy to welcome Annie to the family!
