Gilbert I am very fond of muffins - toasted English muffins, blueberry muffins, bran muffins -- and now we have a new one at our house. This one is called an apricot Muffin; actually, she is an apricot poodle named Muffin. No, with three cats and one large dog, we didn’t go out and decide to buy another, and she isn’t really ours. But our dear friends, the Bankses down in West Pittston, had to go to the hospital for a while, both mother and daughter, so Muffin came to visit us. She was already well-acquainted with the human pat of our household, especially Cathy, so it seemed the logical place for her to come. But how do you explain a small curly poodle to cats almost as big whose only canine acquaintance is about six times that size? Well, the cats decided the best thing was to ignore this peculiar beast for the time being, until they could figure her out. She came on Friday and now it’s Tuesday jorning and they are beginning to make some more or less friendly contact. As for Muffin, she thinks cat chow is MUCH tastier than her own special diet stuff. Kynarion was a different situation. She is so much bigger that even in friendship she might hurt the little wanted to be. Muffin wanted to express her eagerness for friendship by licking Kynarion’s nose, and Kynarion didn’t much like that. But Cathy took a firm grip on Kynarion's harness, kept assuring her that she was a good girl, and supplied her royal highness with Bonz (a special favorite) whenever she approached Muffin gently and permitted some curious sniffing. After a time the three of them went for a walk together, Cathy with one leash in each hand. She did not get all tangled up nor have to stop any dog fights. They both behaved quite well and have done it a couple of times since. ; Only problem is that Muffin needs three steps to equal to the corner, but coming back she lags behind and is happy when Kynarion stops for some sniffing. There is one situation in which Kynarion insists on treating Muffin like she does the cats. They are not supposed to go out the door, and she evidently thinks Muffin should be treated the same. big front foot goes down on top of her to hold her in place putting Kynarion out the front door and Muffin out the ack, or vice versa. Muffin has her own bed on the floor beside Cathy’s, so there is no problem there for the other animals, who sleep on the bed or, as far as the cats go, any high, soft spot they happen to fancy. But in the evening when Cathy is sitting on the sofa, Kynarion usually curls up beside her and Muffin appropriated that spot at her right the first evening. : Kynarion and the cats wouldn't share the space with her even though there was plenty of room. But eventually they realized that she was no threat to their mistress’ affections and they might just as well do what they always have done, and now they provide a model for a ‘‘Peacable Kingdom’ picture.
