A new pup eh? Well, won't that be fun :~D
Oh, yeah. I'm counting on Shelley to help me out. She's very good and gentle with puppies -- but she may not be too happy about one STAYING in HER house . . . she's pretty good with the cats, though she will lift at lip at the blind kitty when said kitty walks right over her (probably with her claws out - she certainly has them out when she walks over ME.) When Finn was so sick, Shelley lay down by his side and laid her muzzle against his flank (though I'm sure he was thinking, "you presumptuous b***h, if I were feeling better I'd open up a can of whoop-@$$ on you . . .")
