Puppies are furry children on speed

So we got a puppy, yay!  Well we say yay, the other animals say "WTF!?!?  Are you kidding me??? Bring it back!"  It is like the never ending supply of energy.  "What you mean it's 2AM? I have to pee and now I want to play *weeeeeeee*!!!"  Needless to say are all experiencing a bit of sleep deprivation. 

For the past few weeks Convict walks around complaining.  The second Speedy gets close he jumps up and paces around the house grumbling, barking and growling.  Nothing aggressive, just irritated.  "I am the baby!  I can't believe you brought another dog home!  *argh* it's TOUCHING me!!! This is totally unacceptable!  I don't want a little brother!!!!!!!"

Old Man is remembering his younger years.  Speedy tries to play with him but on the tile his legs slide out from under him, so he just lays down and plays and it is just sad.  He barks and complains too but mostly because he can't play not because he doesn't want to.  Now on the rug he has a better stance so when he gets tired of Speedy's antics he almost easily throws Speedy into the wall which makes him walk away with his tail down, plotting on how to sneak up on grandpa.  "You listen here you little...wait what was I saying...oh look a puppy...hey, don't bite that!"  While the little one is clearly thinking "mom, he smells funny." Which earns us a sideways stare from Old Man.

Old lady cat is just pissed.  She seeks him out just to smack him and growl in his face.  He is 100% NOT scared of her which is hilarious for me.  He corners her which results in noises I didn't know my cat could make.  It sounds like someone is being murdered by a yipping puppy.  "reeeeeehmeow!!! *hiss, hiss* *growl* followed by "bark, bark, bark *growl, growl* bark!"  all the while bouncing around like a Mexican jumping bean with his butt up in the air.  I swear I thought WWIII broke out in my living room the other morning.    With her making crazy noises and Convict complaining it was insanity.  Old lady is definitely plotting my death. "You will die a slow and painful death hoomin.  Does not fall asleep."  

Demon spawn on the other hand is just curious.  Now, she wont go by him unless he is sleeping or close to it but when he is out she creeps up real close to investigate.  When he chases her she just calmly scurries up the couch and quietly hisses...nothing like what we hear coming from the other cat.  She perches on the back of the couch and watches him play.  It really is rather cute.  Every once in a while when he is laying down and she comes over I feel like the conversation is:

Speedy: Hey, what are you?!?
Demon: I'm a cat...what.are.you...?
Speedy: I'm a hound dog!!!  We're gonna be best friends!
Demon: I don't have "friends" *saunters away with her tail up*

Bet you didn't realize I owned the cat version of Sherlock Holmes.  It's been interesting to say the least.  Hopefully the other animals adjust to his presence soon and things calm down in our household *yawn* o_O
