Ok, still a little upset over the loss, but having Gillian home, makes it all better.
Today I want to talk about the ranking system we have in our house. This is the order

1: Me
2: Reesie
3: Heather
4: Kona
5: Tarryn

Now I did not add Gillian in there because she is still working on her status in the pack.
Now you also might notice that Reesie, our cat....

Is above Heather in status. This is not a mistake, (although technically I take orders from Heather, Reesie does not) She is known as the evil , the mean one, "the hide your children what is that cat about to do," cat. She does not take crap from anyone, except me. Reesie is still mad we brought Kona home almost 4 years again. So you can imagine what it is like for her now. She is very curious to what Gillian is doing. The picture above, she is watching her like a hawk. Reesie was the one we really worried about because she is the Alpha animal in the house, and introducing a new member into the pack, can sometimes be hard. I watch a lot of National Geographic, and I told you I like Wolves. She will be fine though. She will realize that Gillian is a lot like me, and be ok.
Ok, on to Kona. Kona and Tarryn switch off the Omega role quite frequently, meaning they both get picked on a lot be Reesie. Kona does not mind as long as there are people around.

Kona will welcome Gillian into the pack because, 1) she is another person who will give her cookies, 2) when Gillian starts eating real food, Kona will get nice and fat, 3) Kona will have another person to let her in and out 10 times in an hour, and Gillie will probably not yell at her,4) Gillian will take her on walks. Kona got up with us last night when Gillie cried, it was pretty funny. Almost like, "Mom, Dad, that little thing is making noise and I am tired, can you make it stop?" Kona will be awesome to see in a few months when Gillie is starting to move around a bit more.
Tarryn..... Tarryn has smelled Gillian once or twice and then went back to sleep....she is our very typical Cat, and probably the most normal animal we have.....besides her obsession with plastic and wires. We will find her like the cat in Christmas Vacation after she got in the wires.....

So after that, I am thinking that Gillian will fall in between Reesie and Heather, not sure yet, but she might take over the Alpha role, and move me into second place....yeah that is probably going to happen :)
