Sister Bonding

I think we have an official "sister bond" going on in our house. You may have remembered my post in 2011, concerned about having a baby in the house with a dog (more of a puppy as she was just under 2 years old).  Well, all of my concern has been alleviated, evidenced by the past 13 months of bonding that has occurred.  There definitely was some signs of reticence on Chloe's behalf when Cristina showed up in May of last year -- but we are certain that now the two of them get along famously. It's so fun to watch...

Also, I don't know if many of you saw this recently in the Wall Street Journal or somewhere else, about "Why Dogs and Cats Make Babies Healther".  Very interesting research being done by the journal Pediatrics. 

So while you may think that Chloe slobbering all over Cristina is gross, we're actually fighting against infection! Enjoy the video...

    I would love if you could capture Chloe lick Cristina up a new hair do. She licked up her bangs there in part of that video. I can watch this over and over and SMILE, SMILE, SMILE!

    AWE! I can't wait to experience this with our baby and animals lol. We have an almost three year old yellow lab and a seven year old cat. Hoping the adjustment goes as well for us as it did with you!

      Your animals are older and I think they'll do fine. Good luck! 😀😀😀

    Love it! Avner recently sent me a similar video of Ella and their dog. It doesn't get much better than dogs and babies!

    I SO agree with you - we too have a (very large) dog and two cats. And I am very sure there are several benefits for the whole family - especially our little ones!

      Isn't it great? To see them enjoy each other? It will be a wonderful memory for our daughter, too. And if she doesn't remember then I have all the video. Ha!
