However with a few tips, your canine and your baby will be fast friends in no time. Before the intro, allow your dog to sniff an article of the baby’s clothing or her blanket to get familiar with her scent. At the initial meeting, one parent should restrain the dog on a leash, while the other parent sits on a chair holding the baby. Don’t hold the baby over the dog’s head – this will encourage it to jump. Allow your dog to observe the baby from a distance, and stroke your pooch for reassurance. If he exhibits any aggressive behavior, stop the introduction and remove him from the room. You can resume again at another time. Signs of aggression include nipping, pawing, growling, and biting, as well...

I regret we are city folk and have never had a place for rabbits, chicks, chimps, lions, tigers or bears. Each one we did have, had a lesson to teach albeit unconsciously, but none the less striking a cord in us “superior” humans. They taught us, over the years, about hygiene, health, loyalty and fun. They also educated us about patience, courtesy, excretion and love. HEALTH AND HYGIENE The dogs and cats taught me they can lick their wounds, we can not, or should not. The human mouth is mighty dirty and it’s difficult for us to reach all the places dogs and cats can reach. They taught me a growl of warning, when you’re not feeling well, is a good way to notify others you’re not in a good mood and everyone should keep clear. At...

Even Duncan sat/stood at the table with everyone else for a while before plonking himself back down in front of his computer. It's situated just beside the dining table, so at least he was close. These simulated theme parks don't build themselves you know! Unfortunately he opted to watch films about ear wax extraction as we ate. I persuaded him to watch more Morph films first, and watch ear wax films later.(RIP Tony Hart, a source of joy and inspiration to so many.)Lady started to work on a volcano kit she'd been given as a gift ages ago. The boys gathered to watch and participate. Duncan was alarmed at the idea of an explosion in the kitchen. I was able to explain that it isn't a real volcano, just a little pretend one for children. He donned the plastic saf...

I don't really feel a year older yet, but maybe that's because I wasn't born until close to 7pm. After my mom was in 17 hours of labor or some such thing. I've always said that I don't like to be pushed - it started from the womb. Heh... ;) So in honor of my 26th birthday (is it lame to do a post in honor of my own birthday? lol), here is a list of 26 random facts about me that you may or may not know.1. My middle name is Elizabeth, and my dad has always called me by Lizziebeth. I've actually always liked that name better than Carrie, which is why many people on the internet know me as Lizzie and my email is LizzPiano.2. I started playing the piano when I was 6 years old, so this year I will have been playing pia...
