Default Dog alert!

Well, I can see my idea probably would not work. I do want to clarify one
point: When I said "nonconfrontational," I did not mean to imply that a
meeting with the neighbors might be confrontational. I was trying to
describe a situation where you and the neighbors could meet in a friendly
setting and give Boyfie and the dog an opportunity to see each other in a
nonconfrontational *setting.* That often works, but I can see from your
description that Boyfie would be freaked out. So, not a good idea. Let's
hope the dog is actually cat-friendly. The collies we had when I was
growing up would sleep with the cats curled up within their legs (but a
JRT is a very different type of dog).


I would never trust a terrier with a cat (unless they'd been reared with
them)
Terriers are bred to kill. That's their purpose in life, so it's a worry to
have a JRT next door.
I now expect to be flooded with posts - JRT's sleeping with cats and loving
them.

However, this is a JRT that Boyfie hasn't met yet and there is a possibility
that he doesn't see it coming.
