Ideas on how to introduce beloved family dog to new baby?
We have a fur baby (cattle dog), that we love heaps. What we need to know is when and how should we introduce her to the baby when he arrives. DH is the master and although she loves me and is very protective over me she adores him. She is a jealous dog and hates having anyone give him attention or visa versa. That worries me a bit.
I know that I am going to be very nervous about them meeting and it will probably be better that I don't be in eye sight when this happens as I am likely to freak out if she gets all funny. DH trusts her but I am not so sure about her with strangers and kids that she doesn't know. With the people she knows like family, neighbours she is wonderful but not with all people.
But what I really want is for her and our new son to be best of friends one day and I just don't want to get it wrong from the beginning so any advice would be great.
