I've attached a bunch of photos of the boys. Our Border Collie, Jack, loves the cats and especially Socks. I've included some of their interesting relationship as well as photo of Duke and Ruby.

We're working with Jack to teach him how to interact appropriately with Socks. If we ask Jack "Where's Socks?", he finds him and will stay with him unless Socks is sleeping in the cat's bedroom or having a nap on our bed. I know Border Collies are OCD so we have to make sure Jack isn't being a pest or playing too rough. Jack is smart and usually listens so it's not tough to work with him. Socks does let Jack know when he's had enough, which Jack usually respects. Funny the relationships animals have with one another.

Just wanted to let you know that the kittens are settling in well. I have them in our spare room so they have the run of the space. They've been kicking it up all afternoon! Our Corgi thinks she needs to be in their business so I'm keeping the door closed for now to give them ultimate security and adjustment time. I'm going to purchase a gate for the spare room door that has an open kitty shaped space for them to come in and out without having to jump over it. They've been all over me, letting me snuggle and play with them. They're such happy cats! Thank you again for allowing these wonderful creatures to come into our home. They are delightful!
