The cats are doing good, the older one was a little surprised by the first big boomer of the night but has since determined that her box is not falling down and has fallen asleep. Younger one is completely oblivious l, just happily harassing me for food because it’s nearly feeding time (but was a street stray before us so maybe she’s just happy to be inside).

I took the dog on a big walk through the forest this afternoon to tire her out; she has taken up a defensive position sat on my wife on the sofa and is monitoring the situation, but so far no freaking out (she’s normally pretty reactive) so I think we’re doing well.
