Our boxer mothers LO. He doesn't like it when we do tummy time and nudges baby until he rolls onto his back. Then they lay together and baby talks to his puppy, while pup patiently listens and vocalizes back. It's pretty cute. BTW, they are never unattended together
Both parties are pretty uninterested. My dog gets protective and anxious when other people come over and are around her, but on a daily basis he couldn't care less.
Since the move our cat just hangs out under the couch. Well, he came out the other day and got up on the bed when DD was there. She noticed him too! She tried moving over closer to him too... So cute!
One of our cats would like to be the babies' nurse kitty. He comes running when they cry and tries to help. He also tries to clean them. Our other cat is a bit jealous and would like to know why we replaced her with furless cats.
Our pets have adjusted well, which is good because we have so many. The big dog who accidentally stepped on DD has completed training and now is calm and wonderful around her. He also cracks her up -- DD laughs when she sees the dog coming. We also have a long haired dachshund who is wonderful and lets DD play with him by rubbing her hands on him (always closely monitored). We have another dog who is older and just ignores her. And then a cat who also ignores her, but likes to sit in her bouncy seat when it's vacant.
They all stare at DH and me accusingly when she cries.
Our lab has semi-adjusted. He is still jealous and will bother me or DH (whoever is holding DS) for attention, but he is starting to like baby I think. He licks his fingers/toes and will run to him if he cries, and always lays in DS's room while I'm feeding or changing him. We have a long way to go yet though. Our dog cries at night in our new home and DS is sleeping through the night finally....our dog is a baby again.
This one didn't upload earlier. Guess who wants to be the baby?
Haha same! Our dog walks all over us and hasn't learned that the baby can't be walked on. She keeps coming up and trying to lick his bald head or sit on top of him. lol. Baby occasionally grabs her fur so we're learning to "pet nice"
The cat is mostly uninterested, and he tolerated me putting Q on him for a photo op. The dog doesn't like it when Q cries, so he comes over and licks him. Haha. Again, tolerating the photo op. Grandpa and my aunts dog at Easter. Her dog didn't really care about him.
I don't know that my cat has realized we even have another kid. She will be near him if I'm holding him only because she wants me and he happens to be there. She has licked him as an extension of me. She was more freaked out when DD came along because she cried so much. DS hardly ever cries - only when hungry or really tired.
We have three cats, and they don't care one bit about Rhys, except for when he's right next to them and squirming or yelling. One has actually rubbed rhys' face with his own, but none of them have ever jumped in the crib while he was in there (which was something people would not shut up about before he was born).
I have a Yorkie terrier and since the baby got home she's been very jealous and territorial I noticed the only time she poops in the house it's always underneath the baby swing and I woke up this morning to find that she pissed all over my babies play mat (not the first time -__- ) I think she's trying to cover up my daughter scent with hers and has not yet accepted her as part of the family I keep a close eye whenever the dog is around because I don't want her to do anything to my baby but I'm trying to include my dog in with my daughter like if we sit down and play all encourage her to come over and see if the baby and play with her as well we'll see if it gets any worse. Ifso then she'll have to spend more time outside. Sorry im not sorry

Zachary looks terrified but Dweezil our cat has become very protective over him
Max used to be my dog. Now he belongs to my four month old child.
Shes accepted the change of life finally lol
Hes her protector but has been acting out lately. I think he misses being the baby.
They all stare at DH and me accusingly when she cries.
