Dog and Cats update

Tucker is settling in great. For the first day or two I thought I had the best behaved puppy ever. Turns out that he was just getting used to his new home. Now he's not so well behaved. Nothing out of the ordinary for a new puppy (chewing stuff, some barking, etc.), but he's coming out of his shell.

Three out of four cats approve of Tucker.

Bob basically ignores him.
Tino likes to play with him and they chase each other.
Coco likes to keep her distance but is somewhat curious.

Then there's Hukkle.

Hukkle has pretty much been in hiding. I knew his hiding place was in the drop ceiling of the basement. Last night I decided he needed to come out of there. I kept taking out tiles until he was in a corner and had no ceiling to walk on. He jumped out of the ceiling and run upstairs to his other hiding place under the Lazy Boy.

I considered that progress and laid next to the Lazy Boy for a while petting him underneath it. Went to bed and first thing this morning I looked under the Lazy Boy and no Hukkle. I've searched for him on and off all day and still can't find him. I had blocked off his access to the drop ceiling, but I checked there again and couldn't find him. I've checked everywhere and can't find him. I even didn't make the assumption that he couldn't open doors, drawyers, etc.

A few days ago I did start plug in Feliway diffusers in every room. Tonight I plan on taking Tucker to my mom's for a while. Partially to try to start getting him used to a car ride and going to new places, but also to give Hukkle a few hours of time without a dog in the house.
