Look who's come to stay with Callie and Grandma to be Doorman and General Jolly Companion.

Meet Bruce!

Callie is still hesitant about the Jolly Companion role - she made the mistake of acquiescing when Bruce decided to eat her food, instead of hissing and batting and and making her rights known. 

 But then she is prim and proper and peaceful and courteous. 

However I am now looking for a place to put her food where Bruce can't gleefully gobble....

I left the bedroom door open a sliver last night and just past midnight I felt a warm furry head on my shoulder and a mew that said ' love me!'   It will take a few days until we're all friends together.

Bruce has been in the family most of his eight years - our granddaughter's dog 
and pal to our great grandson.

And when he was a puppy jumping on Grandpa's knee and covering him with kisses 
(been there, done that!)


Life is full of new adventures, for us and for Bruce!  Happy days ahead....

OH what an adorable jolly companion and good doorman Bruce will be (and what a happy home he has found).
I do feel a little sorry for Callie (heck, I was an oldest child -- I feel her pain ;>))....But she will, I am sure, be fine -- as we all are -- and be happy for the entertainment and companionship. (Especially when you find a safe place for her food dish!)

Hildred, I'm so glad you have a doggy companion again! Hopefully, he and Cassie will call a truce. Bruce sure is cute!

Not a particularly fierce-looking doorman, though you never can tell. I'm not much of a dog person but he looks the kind of size and shape that I could get to love.

John - Bruce has a most frightening bark along with his wagging tail. Besides being fun he is a good alert as I grow ancient and don't always hear the doorbell...
