My mom's two dogs got sick, it was the same thing that @ was suffering from (the three of them got it from a homeless cat that has been terrorizing all pets in the neighborhood). The big, younger and sturdier dog is better now, although he spends most of the time sleeping and his paws are reddish and swollen. The smaller dog, an 8-year old fluffy, small and perpetually hyper thing didn't make it.
Alux, the fluffy dog, was always trying to play with @; we believe this was because when Alux was a puppy we had another black kitten, Moon, and the two of them got along pretty well, to the point that he got really sad when Moon ran away. @, on the other hand, lived two months on the streets before we adopted it, and therefore has a healthy respect for dogs. Meaning, it ran away from Alux while Alux happily (and patiently) followed @ around.
