oh libra, libra, libra.
Its almost impossible to introduce a dog into a 'cats' house. What you got to remember is that from the cats point of view, the house belongs to them. They will tolerate you as long as you fed it and give it attention, but they wont tolerate no dog which is going to take the attention away from them. Mind the dog will usually take a submissive role to the cat and realise it is furthr down the pecking order.
If you can 'teach' the cat that it is higher up in your list of priorities, then you might get away with it.
It is a lot easier however to introduce a cat into a dogs house.
I disagree with this. We have five cats and two dogs and the dogs both came after the cats and at seperate times too.
The cats will hiss and spit for a week or so, but they will eventually settle down I assure you. It's just a case of ignoring them when they spit and hope the dog does the same, which they usually will
Maybe we've just been lucky, but as we seem to take in every waif and stray going, all our pets just have to put up with more coming along every now.
All the animals will eventually settle into a pecking order of some sort naturally and without intervention or scalding them when they hiss etc.
Naturally the cats will be at the top and the dogs at the bottom, with you somewhere in the middle, but at least peace will reign and everyone should be happy again
Dog training classes would be good, especially as you have young children. The dog needs to know that even the children are above her in status and this is most important with such a large animal.
When we go out, or if we have visitors, we shut the dogs in the kitchen. They have toys and stuff to play with and at least we know they can't chew at the furniture/carpet/curtains etc.
Having the dog on your bed is not a good idea and as other's have mentioned, it may cause problems in the future. Better to get her used to sleeping in the kitchen at night.
Our dogs are with us in the evenings whether we are in the lounge or the office, but they know when it's bedtime that they are packed off to the kitchen and their basket.
Good luck with her. I'm sure she will be a joy to have, once she has been given a few days to settle in. She has to get used to you as much as you do with her

As for You Libra, got just one thing to say. Awwwwwwwwwwww!

Jags, if you don't mind me saying, I get PMs like this all the time - have done since Day One - and thats why my profile is like it is - I find I only get about three or four inane, offensive PMs a week now - as opposed to the 10-20 I was getting before I made some kind of effort to deter the newbies. . . however, it's a shame I have to write a profile that is fairly off-putting to all single men - but I have been left with no option (other than change my avatar to something quite sickening and as attractive as Robin Cook on a bad day...)
Blimey SunBunny if this avatar is of Robin Cook on a bad day, there must be something seriously wrong with my Television!
I try not to PM anyone, "that's a lie" but I do try to get the spelling right.

Mind you... thanks for the tip! Might try using my phone, next time I'm abusing some cock, or another!
Vix, every time I read one of your recent posts, I find myself starting to sing an old nursery rhyme...
"Mary Mary, quite contrary..."
He he he.. you're right, of course. Ya see, I am back to working 5 days a week as "Cashier Number Five, Please", so I have to vent my spleen elsewhere.
Oh, my regularity here will suffer, so I have to post double strength, in every thing I say, to compensate.
(Warning: Monday is my day off.)
Thank heavens for Mondays. But I have to say regarding the Camera phones, they could be dangerous in the wrong hands, which is why mine stays in my pocket.
