Hey Era, meet Mina
She's an 8 week old French Bulldog, and my first dog after being a cat person my whole life. Me and my fiance have thought about getting a dog for awhile, but I had an elderly cat, and we knew she wouldn't have handled it well. Unfortunately Baleen passed away last year at the age of 19, the first time I had to euthanize a pet, and it was pretty devastating. I got through it with the help of my fiance and my other cat, and we started to think about getting a new pet. We weren't actively looking for a dog, but the stars aligned and there happened to be a litter of Frenchies in my small town that would be ready at the time we'd have the most time to look after it.
It was hard to say no.
Mina meeting my friend's towering Irish Wolfhound/Greyhound mix.
My other cat, Bowie, isn't too thrilled. Constantly hissing, even at me when she smells the puppy on my hand. She's getting better, and I'm hoping she warms up to the puppy since you could tell she's been lonely since Baleen passed away.
It's been an interesting couple of days. I've only ever had cats due to how hands off they are, so this will be a quite an experience in the coming months.
