I am usually a Nazi when it comes to the baby and the dog. Dotte gravitates towards anything baby, whether it is the bouncy seat, baby blankets, baby pacifiers - you have to be quick and diligent. I can be quick, but the diligence part, not so easy. I hate having to keep the baby off the floor because of the dog, and I hate putting the dog "up" so the baby can stretch out on a blanket on the floor.
Yesterday, Betsy was chilling on the floor, Dotte bee-lined straight for her, I "no"ed her once, and she obeyed immediately, so I decided to relax a little. Things were fairly mellow, no one was riled up or crazy, I figured the dog would just go curl up in her pillow bed. I was standing in the kitchen when I heard the baby giggling, not crying and not actually giggling, but even belly laughing. There was Dotte, perfectly poised next to Betsy and licking her hands. Hilarious! I grabbed the camera to video, but like every living creature, once a camera appears their behavior changes, and Dotte quit licking her hand and instead burrowed up next to Betsy's little bum.

Ryanne, I absolutely love your blog. I know it takes a lot of time to do this and you have so little of it with all you do, but PLEASE DON'T STOP. I get so excited when the number changes and I know I get to see pictures and read your clever commentary.
In my house, the baby is the only one that appreciates the smelly old dog, so I let them interact as much as possible. He stinks and eats his own poo, but he makes her laugh and squeal, so it's worth it.
