Dogs are a Baby’s Best Friends

Before Baby came into our lives, I worked in a vets practice and ended up rescuing two dogs, who were destined to be put down.  The dogs went everywhere with me; to the horses, to work and if I am honest they were substitute babies.

So when the real baby came along, it was quite a difficult time for all of us.  Previously, the dogs had been allowed pretty much free rein, spending every possible second curled up on our laps.  I trust my dogs, but they are just animals and so I was very stressed when Baby came home.  It took quite a while for things to settle into a new groove.  The dogs no longer allowed on the furniture and then as soon a Baby was mobile, they were moved into the hall/kitchen during the day (they can see us).

As Baby is growing up, we are starting to give them ‘supervised’ time together and Baby loves it!

She still gets quite excited when the girls come in to visit her and our more timid dog can’t last that long before she needs to go for some quiet time in the peace of the hall.

That said, I am not sure who enjoys this time more, the girls love the fuss and Baby adores her furry friends.

They are the perfect size for her too!
