thnaks everyone for your replies, I am strating to think that our dog will be fine with bubs as long as we don't forget him and introduce smells, prams and crying beforehand. I can imagine he will be protective of bubs, just like he is of us.

Our cat will just adapt I think, when my friends kids come over, 18 months old now, our cat just flops in the middle of where they are playing - they were surprised at first as my friends doesn't have cats and love touching him.
