Mia


Anyone who knows Eric and me, knows that I am significantly more "our dog is a member of our family" minded than he. So, of course, it came as no surprise when he expressed concerns about Mia wanting to closely inspect and HEAVEN FORBID possibly even lick the baby.

That's why I cracked up when some friends of ours who have a two-week-old told me they were grilling their pediatrician about their Boston Terrier trying the same thing with their new baby.

He basically said, "It's obviously not the BEST thing for your dog to lick him...but you know when you go to Target or Walmart and touch the carts, then you touch your baby? That's WAAAAY worse."

I'm strangely comforted by that. and grossed out.
