I have an alpha female basenji and brought a newborn into our family. I was in the hospital for four days (my in laws stayed with dog and horse), when we came home, we had my Mom bring her new boyfriend. He was a great distraction, but also allowed me some alone time with Cricket. When they left, she noticed the baby in the bassinet and was a bit concerned.
She adapted to the baby, but I don't leave them alone just in case. Cricket is not nearly as jealous as she was, now that he drops food for her at the table, but she did get a bit jealous for a few weeks.
While I was pregnant, I was told that 'the test' was to play baby crying videos on YouTube. How the dog reacts will tell you how they will interact with the baby. Cricket beat the crap out of my phone when I tried… So not a great test! 🙂
The Good Babies

I had surgery on Wednesday on my nose. My mom and hubby have been diligently taking care of me. But my furrybabies have been right by my side the whole time. They seem to know to be extra gentle around me. And Miles, bless his heart, has only stolen a grilled cheese and some cheerios. But they have been wonderful. I think they are speeding my recovery.

They are very aware arent they! How wonderful!

Our furkids are the best Florence Nightengale's, aren't they?
I hope you have a speedy recovery

Aw…isn't that sweet!! ((Hugs)) for a speedy recovery!
