Sassy vs Tobey, round 1

It has been about a month since I got Sassy (my adorable yet bad kitten that my bestie Carilly gave me) and because she likes to hide under the sofas, the bed, the dresser (yes she's gotten in the drawers now) and any place she can get into I haven't had the chance to introduced her to Tobey (my equally adorable but bad dog).  The first time he came over the house, Tobey went crazy.  He was crying while sniffing Sassy out from under the sofa (which was the reason she got out of the house and was outside for a couple of days.) The second time I brought him over, Tobey sniffed around and just forgot about her.  Maybe he thought I got rid of the kitty.  Then last week Tobey came and started living with us.  We were worried Tobey would go back and start hunting down Sassy but since he had to move to a new house, Tobey mostly was sleeping and being depressed.  I stayed home with him for a couple of days, just to watch him and make sure he didn't see her, and nothing.  I even left Tobey home alone for a few hours on Sunday and nothing happened.  I began to think the pairing would work.

Then Sassy started to get ideas and would causally pop out from under my mom's bed, like taunting Tobey to come and get her.  My mom and I would quickly close the door, move towards her (when Sassy sees someone take a step, she runs.), or something so Tobey wouldn't see her.  Maybe she wanted Tobey to see her because he tends to eat her food. Sassy started acting braver and then today of all days (I was going back to work) she made her move.  I saw her coming towards my room and Tobey was, of course, sleeping on my bed.  She would peek over to my room and quickly duck back to my mom's room.  When I would see her I would move towards her and of course run.  I guess I turned around too quickly because as soon as I turned my back to get my stuff, Sassy peeked over and ran to the living room.  Tobey jumped down and ran after her, barking at her.  I run (okay, hobbled) over to the kitchen and poor Tobey was wimpering while sniffing around the kitchen and sofa.  I felt so bad, but I had to leave so I quickly petted Tobey on the head and tried to calm him down.  When I was closing the door, Tobey was just looking at me with sad eyes.  I just hoped Sassy doesn't do anything because I may be coming home to an even more messy house later.
