K handed me a mailing from the Vet called "Fido Was First." Subtitle: "Training Your Dog For Baby's Arrival." I don't think she's worried about Khalie.
Baxter, she might be trying to tell you something. I guess she'd prefer that you not chew the Lady Bug's face off during your first encounter.
These are the tips I gleaned:
*Pull the dog's tail and ears to prepare them for a toddler who will do the same.
*Have a doll baby to hold, so the dog gets used to seeing one in your arms.
*Take a blanket to the hospital to wrap the baby in. Take it home so the dog can smell the baby before she arrives.
*Give the dog treats for sitting quietly and not going crazy.
That last one might be a challenge. As far as I know, Baxter can't eat treats while he is sleeping! Sitting quietly isn't really his forte!

I laughed at the first tip. Would Baxter like getting his ears and tail pulled?
