Who Let the Dogs Out?

So...I guess I should mention that I got a dog.  Before, I had two inside cats (old crabby Nala and gorgeous adorable Jack) and two outside cats (Lucy aka Ugly Betty even tho she is cute, and Kitty Kitty).  Dwight ran away :( and I think Kitty Kitty might have too, because I haven't seen her either.  Lucy also has three kittens.  Anyways, back to the dog.  His name is Koda, he's a Husky, kind of a redish brownish color.  I'll admit he's pretty cute, but then again Huskies are the only dogs I've ever liked.  He doesn't get along perfectly with the cats.  He chases Jack, because Jack runs.  He bugs Nala, but she hits him back and he leaves her alone.  And then theres Lucy.

I LOVE LUCY.  pun intended.  Not sure if thats exactly a pun, but I'm gonna call it that.  I used to be indifferent to her, but now I must say I appreciate her.  Whenever Koda decides he wants to go say hi to her, which is rare, she chases him and attacks him.  Its quite humourous to see a cat chasing a dog across the yard.  I understand she is protecting her kittens, and even if I feel a little bad for Koda, the hilarity outways all that.

Another plus of having Koda is that Jack is so terrified of him, that he practically lives in my room (Jack, not Koda.  Koda isn't allowed in my room, its Jack's safe place now).  And since I love Jack so much, I'm perfectly okay with it.  Although I did kick him out at 5:30 this morning because he was being really annoying and playing in the litterbox we gave him.  I don't think he's ever even used it, he just likes playing in it, like a little kid in a sandbox.  Or anyone in a sandbox, really.  I still love making sand castles.

Koda is slightly trained.  He is young still, so its not that big of a deal.  He just barks for half an hour if you put him in the kennel, and likes to chew on stuff like underwear.  He doesn't come very well, but he knows how to sit and we are teaching him to lay down.  We also found a cheap dog treat: Animal Crackers.  And its nice because you can feed them to the dog or eat them yourself.  It may be slightly cannibalistic on his part, but thats only if there is a dog in the animal crackers, and I don't think there is.

So yeah, just a little about our new dog.  Oh, and he's not really ours.  He's Emily and James' dog, but he lives in our house because they live in our house.  So I call him ours.
