For the first time, Poppy voluntarily came into the house. She’s spent the last couple hours lying beside my chair, happy and quiet as can be. Good news, too, she met my cat [Milo](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/introducing-new-cat-molly-um-milo/1024409)and had no reaction except to keep as far away as possible.

I’d tried bringing her into the house a couple days ago and she was submissively peeing and wasn’t happy, so I let her be the lead on this. Today, I let her come with me down to the barn to feed my horse (her mind was blown) and when I came back to the house, she followed me right in. All the dogs are settled down with her.
