Our Silly Beast

We love our pound puppy. He drives us bananas but we'd be lost without him. And we worried a lot about how he was going to handle our new arrival. And so far he's been cautiously curious! He can't figure out the new noise maker but knows she's interesting.

She starts grunting and he goes to sit next to her Pack-n-Play and looks at us like "fix it". 

You see, Atticus isn't big on noise. At all. And little Alice came home on an Apnea monitor that monitors her heart rate and breathing; however it also goes off when the leads move like when our wiggle worm stretches. And Atticus doesn't approve. At all.

Atti has two safe places in the house - the laundry room and the fire place behind my Beloved's chair. Since bringing Alice home - he's added our closet to the list. The first time the alarm went off we couldn't find him anywhere. Daniel finally found him behind the clothes in our closet shaking like a leaf. 

It's okay to laugh. I laughed. He's such a big baby. He has become more accustomed to the alarm and no longer hides in the closet but he does opt to swiftly leave the room when she's being moved around.

He seems to be enamored with her. We came home from the doctor the other day and he ran straight to her Pack-n-Play to check on her before he attacked my beloved. This made me smile until I realized I'm now a peg lower on his list. Stupid dog. ;)

I'm thankful he's a sweet puppy that hasn't tried to eat the baby. And I'm thankful Alice completely sleeps through his barking. I'm thankful tomorrow I get to leave the house even if it is to go to the doctor! I'm thankful we have a wiggly, healthy 8 week old (who isn't due for another 3 weeks)!

And I'm hopeful that whoever rang the doorbell 6 minutes in to my nap on the couch causing our sweet pound puppy to go completely bonkers goes to bed with heartburn. 

Okay fine, that was mean. I'm hopeful they're thankful I didn't make it to the door before they disappeared. Is that better?

;)

Until next time.....
