How do you think your fur babies will react when you bring your baby home?
I think mine are gonna be okay. Cinder (our dog) is gonna be great. She was a great help when I was babysitting for a friend of mine years ago. He was at crawling stage and she was a total Nanny following him and watching over him!
As for the cats.. I think they'll do okay too. I think the biggest problem will be keeping Helo out of the cradle, because he swears it's his!! HA HA!!
Sebastian freaked out a little when he first saw and heard my niece. He got really jealous when I hold her (he comes up to me and wants to be loved). But he also is very concerned when babies cry, he walks up to them to make sure they are ok. Its really cute! He has even walked up to the TV screen when there was a baby crying.
Well my cats~ One "Samson" will take no notice.... But the other one "Nero" will probably want to sleep with the baby all he wants is to be on top of someone for a cuddle.
As for my dog "Diego" I'm sorry to say I don't think he'll be around. He has heart failure and had an operation today vet is giving him 6months to a year max.
Max - the daddy dog, will lick the baby to death
Molly - the mommy dog, will lay by baby to keep other dogs and me away
Peanut - the baby dog, will lay by me to keep baby away!
Our cat has never been around babies so I have no idea how he will react, but I don't think he will care much lol. We are getting a dog when I move there, a golden retriever, who are really good with kids so hopefully there won't be any fur problems
The cats will be fine. Romeo may get a bit clingy, but Dot is pretty aloof anyway so she won't care.
And Jango (dog) has already been around our nieces & nephews so he's good with kids (although a little hyper, but he's still a pup). And he's been around our newest nephew (5 weeks old yesterday) and he's curious and will lay his head on the car seat in the baby's lap, but he's never acted aggressive or anything like that.
Argh... I don't even know... I think there will be a lot of jealousy.. because right now they get all my attention... My kitty will definitely be invading the crib... because it'll be a safe place away from the doggies.. lol...
