I spent the night downstairs. The plan was that Rebba would sleep in her brandnew dog's bed, next to the couch I was going to sleep on. But that's not exactly what happened. Arthur decided he liked the dog's bed. So he stepped into it and fell asleep. Rebba didn't mind at all and she joined me on the couch, laying her head in my neck. I could feel her heartbeat bump up and down and it was soothing.
In the middle of the night, Rebba decided she wanted to give Arthur some company. He did not expect her at all and it scared him. So Arthur ran off, Rebba jumped back onto the couch and we fell asleep again. Some time later, Arthur tried to figure out why I was sleeping on the couch. He probably forgot about Rebba, until she peeked from behind my back. So there went Arthur again..
They'll get used to one another. It will take some time, but Rome wasn't built in one day either, was it?

Oops, did I forget to mention ? Whippets are thieves !
LOL! Yes, I can't remember our whippet being a thief. Maybe she was not a true whippet?
Rebba loves to steal food.. She's always all ears when she hears us open the fridge. We agreed as a family, to completely ignore her at the table. We don't even make eye contact or speak to her, when she's begging. It works. She gives up and has some of her own food out of her bowl.
We still haven't found a solution for the cat food. Putting the food in another room is not a solution, because Rebba does not like closed doors.. resulting in scratching the door.
We'll work it out somehow. Any advice is welcome!
