Hi There,

I’m sorry for the loss of your kitty, as well as your Golden R.

Congrats on your new addition!! Puppies always bring such happiness.

How old is Zoey? Has she been spayed? How is Zoey with other dogs? I would introduce them slowly at first. Once you see how Zoey is going to react you can go from there. I would keep Zoey as the pack leader. For instance, feed her first, give her a treat first.. etc. I don’t think Zoey is going to think of the puppy as a rodent LOL- She may take it in as one of hers or it will take a little time for her to get use to the puppy.
