Tessa is a mess. They now have problems. An attention addict, Tessa continues to leap at them for petting, only now they have an infant in their arms. She is still mouthy, and the cute grabbing of clothing she has always done is now dangerous when she grabs the baby blanket. They constantly worry about Tessa mouthing the baby, and when given half a chance, the dog runs to the crib and starts barking.

By anticipating the personal and household changes, you can take real steps to making the transition smooth and easy for your dog. Preparation is seldom wasted.
