operation cat and dog: unsuccessful

it has been 5 days since nina joined us, and my goal was for nina and hamilton to be best friends...it's not working out like i planned at all. we got nina on saturday, and by saturday night it was over. nina, although a very sweet dog, would not leave hamilton alone. so we had to come up with a plan for the week for each animal. while we are home, hamilton stays in our room, and nina gets free reign of the apartment, and while we are gone, nina is in the bathroom, and hamilton gets free reign. it is definitely so much easier having the two split up. i guess we won't be introducing a puppy into our home anytime soon.
