Gosh I haven't posted a blog in a long time. A lot of things happening in life. But the biggest change in my life is I became a Gigi! Yes, a first-time grandma! My daughter and her husband had a sweet baby girl.
I have to confess during my daughter's pregnancy I wondered, or let's say concerned how Ralphie and Lucy will act with baby Peyton's arrival. Ralphie is pretty laid back so I wasn't too worried about him...but Lucy...my persnickety Lucy. She's never been snarly with humans as she is with dogs. But who knows if she may think Peyton is a 7 pound puppy. Lucy does not like puppies. So throughout the 9 months I kept thinking, more like worrying about Lucy's reaction to the baby. Prior to Peyton's arrival I already had a plan... if Lucy can't accept Peyton, then my son will need to take her. That would be the last alternative. I would hate to separate Ralphie and Lucy. They love each other.
Baby Peyton arrived! Peyton's first visit to Gigi's home went well!! Both Ralphie and Lucy were very curious but pretty much stayed their distance. It is amazing how they knew that little baby was not a puppy or animal. Lucy wasn't snarly, she was a lady and naturally knew her boundaries. However, I always remember my mom's words of wisdom..."No matter how good your dog is, never trust a dog with a baby/child."
