And then a dog unwittingly declared war...

This handsome pup is the newest addition to the family.

Gentle trusting eyes.... how could they comprehend the wrath of Ajax and.......... 'the cat.'

WRATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh I wish I had a photo of Ajax and the cat's new alliance.  Think the 'soon to be ball and chain' may have one on his phone but until confirmed a description will have to do. 

Anecdote time!!

.........................................

Since the arrival of the pooch Ajax and........... 'the cat' have become very pally. TOO pally. Napping together, letting one sit on the others back, talking in whispers. That sorta thing. It was cute, it was charming.... little did we know. 

The inevitable meet and greet with the new arrival commenced soon after. DISASTER. Dog narrowly escaped with face. I don't mean face as in pride, I mean literally her face. 

The plans continued. 

Then one day last week all unfolded! Dog was lured around the back to......... 'the cat's' territory and Ajax's look out point of the bedroom window. But where was she? ........'the cat' was gone! Dog is puzzled, anxious to meet new cranky friend again. Ohhh poor hound be careful what you wish for. ..........'the cat' descends upon the head of the unsuspecting pooch from the roof, claws extended teeth barred in a chillingly precise tactic of fear and aero dynamic hatred!!! Dog is bewildered, attempts a hug, .........'the cat'!....... is gone. 

Dog is really confused now. What's with this house-mate? Doesn't she know German shepherds X Rottweilers are the friendliest, daftest and most intelligent dogs in the world??? What's her beef?? 

She follows on, eager to settle differences but to no avail. .......'The cat' suddenly appears from the left and goes for the eyes! Pooch doges blow and attempts to lick ..........'the cat's'  enraged and flabbergasted face.

Finally ...........'The cat'  rolls her eyes crosses her paws and saunters off to join her partner in crime on the bedroom windowsill to formulate another plan.

 Dog sees a bee and squishes it while trying to give it a hug. 

The end.
