That time was quite enjoyable :-). We've always had cats and dogs (mostly rescues) When we brought Samson in, we had three others. They all got along and if ever the dogs would chase one, the others would gang up on him. We moved from Buffalo NY to here in NM. We brought all our family with us (four cats and two dogs). They were up in age, and Samson if last buffalonian still with us. We have Three new cats and two new dogs. The dogs like to chase the cats, but Samson is the one who puts them in their place.
