My dog was my baby before DB #1 came along. Dog was 7 years old, and we did the sniff the baby's blanket the day before baby came home, and then when you come home from the hospital make sure to greet the dog first as you usually do. Introduce them right away, and find time to go for walks, rub belly, etc. My dog has been demoted to "dog" from "1st child" but we still try to give her a lot of attention. DB #1 is obsessed with her now, and follows her all over. [ Reply | More ]

We did the same and actually upped the exercies. Had our dog walker come 2x a day and then got out for another walk as well. If DH or my mom was around I would go with the dog alone. Dog has adapted well. Maybe gets in a little more trouble than before. But loves the baby. [ Reply | More ]
