Our new baby is due in August, and I'm wondering if I should pack my poodle off to my fathers place the week he is born.
Dad has a boxer, and is our regular sitter when we go away. The dogs regularly romp around together.
That week will be pretty insane with visitors, routines to be established etc, maybe it would be easier on him? If he comes back a week later he won't have missed any exercise and we'll be just that bit more settled. Or am I being selfiish and just considering myself in this equation, and the fact it will be easier in that first burst of madness without the dog under my feet?
I have no worries about him and newborns/children and jealousy. We had him when my daughter was very young for that reason, and he gets to visit the kindy children at hubby's work a bit. Obviously supervision will always be a priority.
Cheers
