Let's think about not thinking, please.

I cannot imagine typing that, and thinking 'yep this is it, post that'.

Pure cringe, and you should be naughty word embarrassed. Goodbye.

I have seen many a dog raised by cats- including in our own household. Ours mimicked the grooming behaviors and definitely deferred leadership to the boss cat.

The funniest of them all, however, was a friend’s red Dobie (60+ lbs) raised by a pair of smallish cats (both under 10 lbs). Not only did the dog swat preferentially over biting, he was fully part of cat-style zoomies.

IOW, as we’re sitting on the couch playing a video game or watching sports or monster movies, if you heard zoomies begin, you needed to be on alert. If the couch was going to be run across while you were on it, the 3 of them could all run over you, in any order, in any direction. And often, more than once.

For example, a zoomie sequence might be:

DOG => cat => cat
cat <= DOG <= cat
DOG <= cat <= cat
cat => cat => DOG

And so on. That dog would absolutely destroy your lap & legs and…everything.

Of course Dobies run toward zoomies from everything I understand (can't say much; our first dog ran to the zoomies, and would sometimes circle the living room hitting the floor only once in the cycle. She was a Belgian Malinois who hit 70 lbs at her peak, so this was, to say the least, alarming.

These are excellent things to add. Thanks. The transition is probably going to be hard, with regrets and frustration and impulses to stop and go back, if the thing you’re giving up has been a significant part of your identity. “Good to do” and “easy to do” don’t k ow each other, and the change becomes evidently worthwhile only with time.

In the case I referenced, I'd known these people for decades. One of the players involved was my oldest gaming friend, who I'd met when he was 16 and I was 18. I still get twinges when I think about it.

But it was the right decision. That's obvious in the rear-view mirror.
