Sunrise - December 10

Whip is still housed in the foyer.  We go out for multiple walks during the day and for a couple of hours Whip comes in to the house proper to run around in the evening.  I announce before hand "Dog in the House" and the cats disappear.  While we are in the house, Whip and I go over her training (she knows six commands), we play the 'find' game, and she then usually settles down w/ me on the couch to watch TV.  I didn't notice anything was amiss this evening until I heard Whip barking and a cat hissing.  Dunder streaked past me and up over the couch.  I grabbed Whip as she tried to follow.  Dunder ran back into my study and through the cat door into the utility room.  Since I had hold of Whip I checked that she was unharmed by her cat encounter.  She had three white specks on her face that I couldn't  just wipe away.  I checked closer.  They were the sheaths from cat claws that were stuck in Whip's hair.  I'm sure that the dog and cats will come to an 'understanding' - eventually.
