Happy Birthday to ME (and Whitney)

Thanks for all the text messages, phone calls, etc yesterday, it WAS a happy birthday! i had the day off work so i went and spent some Borders gift cards, did a little shopping and hung out with my sewing machine.
Then my housemate John brought his rottweiler Kahlua home from her summer break in Almanor and we mediated the meeting between the giant, friendly, slobbering Kahlua and the very confused and freaked out Cosmo. Fur flew, but no barking or claw marks, and attempts 2 and 3 were much better than 1, so it was relatively successful. They're seperated by a door today while we're all at work, but we'll keep 'introducing' them until they can be left together, undivided and unsupervised. We're not worried about Kahlua being mean, but she IS a dog, and dogs MUST chase things that run from them, especially when those things are speedy, fluffy and smell funny, so until we can be sure Cosmo won't run, they're seperated. They spent the morning on opposite sides of our bedroom door, both staring intently at the crack and sniffing. Very amusing. Yes, i still fully believe they'll end up as best buds, just not immediately. Pictures coming soon, i PROMISE.
