I thought I would start a post for all those dog owners like me who have a baby/dog story to tell.

Mine is that I find it hard to get my baby to sleep during the day so I thought I would try her downstairs in her bouncer chair and amazing she feel asleep until..........
... Harvey my 4yr old staffie got a bit too excited and in his excitement jumped up and sent the rug flying (we have wooden floors) which my fast asleep baby was on and sure enough she woke straight up and was very unhappy!

Agggghhhhhh!!!

Aww that just makes me want to get a dog again!!

I always had pets growing up and I've got a lovely cat now but no doggies.

OH is not really a dog person but I've already said when LO is 5 ish and begs for a puppy we are so getting one.

My kitty cat just pretty much ignores LO so no funny stories to tell there.

Heh, too funny.

Ronan and Bailey play (gentle) tug and chase games. Ronan keeps holding food out for Bailey and then looking surprised when Bailey actually takes it! Now that he's got a better understanding though he's constantly trying to offer the poor dog food when Bailey knows he's not meant to take it without being told the release command for it so he's always turning his head away and giving me this aggrieved look.

I've had Ronan try to nom on Bailey and get a mouth full of fur, he's tipped the water dish, he's grabbed a marrow bone which then went straight for his gob (I got it before he managed to get it in his mouth)...the list goes on...and on...and on!

What can I say, they are just partners in crime! Avoided each other the first 6 months but then suddenly the food come into the picture and now the best of friends. Vet recently told us off though - dog's getting fat!

Bit young yet for many stories. but Will does have the cleanest (or dirtyest, depending how you look at it) ears in the world from our labradoodle constantly licking them!!!!! She thinks he is a puppy!!!!

Sparky always has to be involved in Thomas' bath time and Thomas stands up against the side throwing bubbles for him to catch. Very sweet. He has also put on weight since weaning began, I have had to cut Sparkys food down by 1/4. Fat is not a good look for a collie!!
My cats are more of a pest when it comes to waking up Thomas. My big ginger boy knows Thomas is another human and if he wants a fuss will go and rub against him, even when he is asleep and wakes him up!

He 'guards her'

Shames he's about as scary as a potato!

Gabys favourite thing to play with is a set of coasters (strange child). She likes passing them to us and then taking them back. She tried to give one to Zak (dog) and he took it in his mouth, of course she took it straight back and put it in her mouth and has now been carrying around everything like that!

She then moved on to handing me the coaster but snatching it back at the last minute and killing herself laughing. After ages I was getting bored so said 'give it to zak' she spent about an hour shoving the coaster at him and then pulling it away.

She shares her food with him too, if we are out and about she hangs out her highchair trying to find him and gets upset when she realises that he is not there.

A couple of pics for good measure!
