We have one dog (she is a smaller dog, only 20 lbs) and 4 cats. We have scat mats to keep the cats out of the baby's crib...we'll see how that goes.
How many family pets do you have?

A scat mat is a flat pad, you can put it on your kitchen table, counters, couches, bed, wherever you don't want to cat. It has 3 settings and when the cat jumps on it, it gives them a slight shock. It is supposed to "train" them, but when I remove them, my cats go right back. So we use one on our bed at all times and on the kitchen table when we're not there. They are pretty expensive, but once your cat knows what it is, you can get a dummy scat mat for much cheaper.
It doesn't hurt them, we've all tried it out!
My oldest pet is Twinkie, my loverly ball python that is 3 years old.
My middle child is Diamond, a female GSD/husky mix
And my youngest (for the time being) is Onyx (male), my lil black kitty.
Gotta full house over here
We have Oscar, a 75 lb Catahoula Leopard dog and Bunny, a van calico Tabby. Both proudly adopted from the Humane Society.
We have two. One 16 pound Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Cede. And one 100 pound Cane Corso Mastiff, Mara. Both girls.
Our plan is to train the dogs that they are not allowed to cross the threshhold of the nursery. They can sit by the door, but not come in.
The reasons for that Cede is a lap dog and I can see her trying to jump in my lap while I'm feeding or rocking to sleep. Plus if I go in there at night and she follows me, I don't want to get under foot and trip me. And for Mara ... well she is a small dog trapped in a big dog body. She is clumsy as all get out and I don't need her running into furniture, making a lot of noise and knocking stuff over.
I'll love you forever,
I'll like you for always,
As long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

We have 4 FIV+ cats (kind of like HIV for humans, & not communicable between cats and people): Ulysses, Leopold, Lucius, and Nadia.
If we didn't have the cats, we would probably have my brother's dog Rosco (11 year old Boston Terrier) living with us.

That is so sad...I always love seeing the pics of your pooches here! All of mine are from Morris Animal Refuge in Philly. Rescues are the sweetest! I can't even say that...I love ALL animals!
1 dog (see sig). Bailey aka. Mizz B aka. Bumblz aka. You are giving me a headache, please stop barking at the neighbors.
She's my baby and I love all 50 lbs. of white fluff.
They are so freakin' cute!
Eli, a 95 pound chocolate male lab, 3 years old.
Sadie, a 65 pound yellow female lab, 1.5 years old.
We have 2 cats
The oldest (see my siggy) is Gus and is 7 yo this month
The youngest, our priss pot is Dory, a black cat who is 5 yo
Gus has been especially protective of my bump and Dory is quickly following suit?
We have a 12lb Yorkie her name is Lexi.
We have a dog, and 3 fish lol. My puppy is my baby. His name is Orlando (Lando for short). He's 7.5lbs. Adding a pic.
One cat - Morgana, she will be 11 in September but acts like she's 4. She's the queen of the house and I think she will be quite the protector.
One dog - Rajah, a 7 yr old retired racing greyhound. He's a gentle soul and probably won't care, one way or another, that there will be a baby in the house.

I'm going to be the crzy one that has the menagerie of pets! My dad has kept my pets from PA that I couldn't take with me and my pets that my mom has had since I left for PA. So here's the list:
Mack: 7 year old husky/australian shepherd, he's gorgeous!
Gimli: 5 year old yorkie (I named him lol)
Timmi: 5 year old yorkie (It's a girl)
Sugar: 3 year old pug
Suzie Q: 2 year old dachshund, she's a tripod. She lost her leg a few months ago due to cancer, but she's a sweetheart!
And my one and only kitty! Sammi: 13 year old persian. He is my baby and will always be my baby. I feed him cheehtos! lol it's his favorite food.
We had another dog. My fiance and I had gotten her when we moved in together. However, we couldn't keep her when we moved so she is with my aunt working as a therapy dog. She is a year old sheltie. She was my baby Bella!
Mr. Jack Frost: a little kitten that we rescued over the holidays. We think he's about 6-7 months.
Interesting! I need to get one of those!
A 1.5 year old, 50lb. Australian Shepherd named Henry Jones Jr. He is very excited to be a big brother!
